Jake Paul’s planned return to the ring ended with a victory against Julio César Chávez Jr. after having made 10 rounds.
The fight took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California on Saturday evening. With a record of 11 victories and a defeat, including seven direct elimination victories, this boxing match marks Paul’s last victory after a seven -month interruption in sport. His most publicized fight was against Mike Tyson in November 2024, which ended with Paul with a large part of the 58 -year -old boxing. The event has become one of Netflix’s most watched sporting events, culminating about 65 million viewers worldwide.
Apart from Tyson, Chávez Jr. owned a solid record with 54 wins, a draw and six defeats, including 34 KB. From 2011 to 2012, he held the WBC’s average weight title until his loss against Sergio Martinez the same year. Since then, he has faced ups and downs throughout his career, including a previous defeat in 2021 against the former UFC average weight champion Anderson Silva, which Paul defeated in 2022.
His father, the former world champion with three divisions Julio César Chávez, expressed his great hopes for his son before entering the ring with Paul.
“All the fights are difficult. Jake Paul is young and strong, but he has never faced a fighter like my son,” he said at a press conference in May. “I would have given Mike Tyson a better fight. He didn’t punch. This time is different. “
There were six other fights on the main map before Paul against Chávez Jr., the co-printing event included a battle between Gilberto Ramírez and Yuniel Dorticos, which ended with the victory of Ramirez.
