It didn’t come as a surprise to learn about Jake Paul’s next boxing opponent, given the number of boxers he has fought against over the years.

Jake Paul has mostly fought against influencers, YouTubers, and mixed martial artists since he began a career in boxing five years ago. It is rather important to mention that the YouTuber fought against 58-year-old Mike Tyson last November and won by unanimous decision.

With all these facts in mind, we can easily suggest that Paul’s next opponent will likely be a YouTuber.

Jake Paul's next fight

Jake Paul has announced across his social handles that his next fight will be against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a YouTuber and former middleweight champion. Both boxers are fond of fighting against influencers like themselves, but despite that, it is important to add that they both have built lucrative careers in boxing over the years.

The fight between Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) and Chávez (54-6-1, 34 KOs) will have 10 rounds at a 200-pound catchweight limit, Golden Boy stated on Friday.

When is Jake Paul’s next fight?

The fight between Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez is scheduled to take place in the influencer-boxer's next bout on June 28 at Anaheim's Honda Center. The venue is set to give comfort to at least 18,336 spectators, which is very good, given the popularity and quality of both boxers.

What did Julio Cesar Chavez Jr say ahead of the bout with Jake Paul? 

The 39-year-old Mexican boxer has told the press that he intends to avenge Mike Tyson when he takes on Jake Paul in a cruiserweight bout in June. Just so you know, Jake Paul and 58-year-old Mike Tyson were fighting not so long ago, and the former won the latter by unanimous decision. So, Chavez has taken it upon himself to avenge the legendary boxer when he takes on the 27-year-old YouTuber in two months' time.

Speaking to TMZ Sports, he said, “I want to take revenge for Mike Tyson. When I saw the fight, my first thought was, I want to fight Jake Paul."

Jake Paul & Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. records

Chavez Jr, who is currently 39 years of age, is the son of a famous boxing legend, Julio Cesar Chavez. He, currently, has a 54-6-1 career record with 34 knockouts under his belt, while the 27-year-old Jake Paul trails behind in all parameters, with an 11-1 career record as a pro with seven knockouts.

Conclusion

The bout may not be legendary, but the popularity of both boxers surely makes this encounter one to watch, alongside the Mexican boxer’s personal need to avenge Mike Tyson’s defeat to Jake Paul.

Chavez has better boxing experience, and his record backs this claim. However, in every sport, the favourites rarely emerge victorious, so we anticipate Paul, who is 27 years old, to put up a strong fight.
