Jake Paul Vows to Humiliate Cesar Chavez Jr. in the Biggest Fight of His Life

Jake Paul is getting ready for what he terms the “biggest fight” of his professional career—a big-dollar bout against former WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr.

To be held on June 28 in Southern California, the fight guarantees fireworks, and Paul is already bragging.

“Someone’s Getting Embarrassed”

In an interview earlier on TMZ Sports, the 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer promised to “humiliate” Chávez Jr., saying this fight will be his coming-out party.

“It’s going to be a tough fight. Someone’s going to get embarrassed, and it’s not going to be me,” Paul told us. While conceding that Chávez Jr. has experience, Paul underscored that he feels he’s better prepared, more focused, and more lethal than ever.

Chávez Jr., 39, is no stranger to the ring. The son of Mexican boxing legend Julio César Chávez Sr., he brings with him a record of 64 professional fights. While he’s had a career filled with ups and downs, including criticism about his work ethic, Paul is not underestimating himself.

“I’ve heard he’s taking this fight more seriously than any in his career,” he noted.

More Than Just One Fight

The June 28 show, promoted by Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), will also host the highly anticipated comeback of former UFC queen Holly Holm to the boxing ring.

Holm, most famous for her memorable knockout victory against Ronda Rousey in 2015, will battle Yolanda Vega in a 10-round pro fight—her first since 2013.

Holm’s comeback is just one element of Paul’s wider effort to develop women’s boxing via MVP, which has already promoted top-level events with Amanda Serrano. When asked if he would sign other top female fighters, like Claressa Shields, Paul teased that he’s willing—despite earlier jabs from Shields herself.

Eyes on the Title

For Paul, bragging rights are not everything. He feels beating an experienced fighter like Chávez Jr. will ultimately prove to the boxing purists and critics alike that he deserves their respect.

“This is my hardest opponent to date,” he said. “But it’s also my opportunity to show that I’m title-worthy.”

With both men psyched and much buzz around the undercard, June 28 is on track to be a career-defining night for Jake Paul—and maybe a turning point for his polarising yet developing boxing career.
