Jake Paul’s next opponent has been revealed, and he’s not an unknown boxer, a Converted UFC fighter or a 58 -year -old player against an ulcer problem.
On the contrary, the former Youtube and Disney Star will be the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. boxing in Cruiserweight this summer, according to Mike Copphger from Ring Magazine. And although a media partner has not yet been announced, the fight will not be on Netflix, such as Paul’s widely criticized victory in 2024 on a painfully exaggerated Mike Tyson.
Dailymail.com contacted Paul’s most precious promotions for confirmation.
Chavez is, of course, the son and the namesake of the Mexican boxing icon, which won 107 of the 115 fights between 1980 and 2005. But although he never matched the success of his father of the renowned temple, who shares a record with Omar Narvaez for 27 successful title defenses, the Younger Chavez was a holder of the average weight title in 2011 and 2012.
In fact, Chavez was 46-0-1 in June 2012, before removing six of his next 14 fights between September 2012 and July 2024. Many losses came to some of the best boxing, such as Canelo Alvarez, Sergio Martinez and Daniel Jacobs. However, he also came across an UFC combatant converted to Anderson Silva after missing his weight for their fight in 2021.
Chavez returned to the ring in a Paul subcardier in 2024, beating Uriah Hall, 40, by unanimous decision.

Paul beat Mike Perry by Tko that night in an update for his fight as eight towers with Tyson in November.
He has since been linked to various episodes since then, from Namesis KSI in the long term to Gervonta Davis and the former opponent Tommy Fury – the only man to beat him – but he got closer to the walk in the ring with Canelo.
In February, it was confirmed that the Mexican superstar had agreed with an agreement of four combinations with the Riyadh season in Saudi Arabia, with its new agreement to include a mega-combat against the former light champion and Welter weight, Terence Crawford, in September.
Previously, it was understood that Alvarez and Paul were about to finalize their cross -fighting, but Alvarez will now face William Scull in May instead.
“ Reality is that we have spent a lot of time with Al Hayman and PBC trying to ensure that Canelo’s fight happens and we want to support what they do in its own right, ” said Nakisa Bidarian, the most precious promotions partner, Nakisa Bidarian.

Bidarian added: “We are actively working on the fight against Jake’s fight for this summer. And we will announce it as soon as we are ready.
“And then we are actively working to find Jake’s next fight – call it from October to December.
“The plan is therefore for Jake to fight twice in 2025 and two to three times in 2026.”
MVP is also busy planning the third episode of the Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano trilogy, which is scheduled for July 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
