Jake Paul is getting ready to face Julio César Chávez Jr. on June 28 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The 28-year-old YouTube star turned boxer will step into the ring with the former WBC middleweight champion in what's shaping up to be his toughest test yet.
Paul, who holds a record of 11 wins and 1 loss, isn't shy about his chances. He told TMZ Sports he's going to make Chávez Jr. look bad.
"Someone's going to get embarrassed, and it's not going to be me. I'm going to embarrass him and make him quit like he always does."
Chávez Jr., at 39, brings a wealth of experience to the bout with 64 professional fights under his belt. He's the son of boxing legend Julio César Chávez Sr., which adds an extra layer of pressure and expectation.
Paul's been working hard to get ready for this fight. He's hoping a win over Chávez Jr. will quiet those who doubt his place in the boxing world. It could also open doors to bigger fights and even title shots down the line.
For Chávez Jr., the fight is a chance to prove he's still got what it takes. His career has had its ups and downs, and he's faced criticism for not always showing up in top form.
The boxing world will be watching this one closely. It's a clash between a rising star trying to prove himself and a veteran looking to reclaim some glory. Paul's confident he'll come out on top, but Chávez Jr.'s experience could make this a real challenge.
Whatever happens, this fight will say a lot about where both fighters stand in today's boxing landscape. Paul's aiming for a breakout performance, while Chávez Jr. will want to show he's still a force to be reckoned with.
