Tale of the Tape

Fight Preview

Jake Paul makes his return to the ring in June, as he comes up against a credible opponent in the form of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The Mexican enjoyed a top-class career at the highest level when he was at his best in the ring, holding the WBC middleweight title between 2011 and 2012.

Despite being at his best during the 2010s, he has continued to fight at a consistent rate over the last couple of years. He was last in action after a three-year break in July of last year, beating Uriah Hall by unanimous decision after six rounds.

However, he will be the huge underdog for this clash with Paul. The YouTuber has achieved notable wins during his boxing career, and he has responded well since suffering a first professional defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury.

But, it could still be argued that he isn’t taking on competitive fights, and instead opting for bouts that will do solid ticket sales. That was evident once again last year, as he took on the aging Mike Tyson in Texas.

Paul eventually came through with a points win by unanimous decision, but this will be a much tougher challenge against an opponent who is considerably younger.

Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Pick

There is a big gap in the odds between the fighters, and we don’t expect this bout to be as one-sided as the prices suggest. Despite that, we do believe that Paul will get the win, which could set up a money-making rematch with Tommy Fury later in the year.
