SOCIAL media sensation Jake Paul makes his huge return to the ring for a brawl with yet another ex-world champion – Julio Cesar Chavez Jr!
The Problem Child’s last fight was the topic of discussion for weeks as he controversially beat boxing legend Mike Tyson.

Paul, 28, got the better of Tyson, 58, on points but faced a lot of criticism for facing a man 30 years his senior.
But, it still doesn’t discredit the fact that the Problem Child won while admitting to holding back during the encounter and has now gone 11-1 as a boxer since making his pro debut in 2020.
However, Paul’s next opponent, Chavez Jr, is expected to put up more of a fight, especially as the Mexican superstar outpointed UFC alum Uriah Hall across six rounds last July.
Furthermore, the son of pound-for-pound legend Julio Cesar Chavez, knows a thing or two about navigating his way around the ring as he has 54 wins from 62 fights.
Chavez Jr’s only problem is that an impressive victory for Paul could move him closer to a mega fight with the likes of Canelo Alvarez or Gervonta Davis.
