Jake Paul next fight: Opponent, date & venue details for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr bout

We explore Jake Paul's return to the boxing ring as he gears up to take on Mexican veteran Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in June.

The American social media mogul has not been shy to assert his intentions of reaching the pinnacle of the sport and winning a world title one day.

Paul certainly seems hellbent on fighting the biggest names possible, with Mike Tyson joining UFC legends including Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz and Tyron Woodley on the 28-year-old's resume.

We take a closer look at Paul's next fight after the American star announced plans to take on 62-fight veteran Julio Cesar Chavez Jr this June.

Jake Paul's next opponent

Who is Julio Cesar Chavez Jr?

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is the son of former three-weight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Sr, winning 53 of his 62 professional fights to date.

A former WBC middleweight champion, Chavez Jr took on Canelo Alvarez in a professional contest at the T-Mobile Arena in Nevada back in May 2017, losing via unanimous decision.

Like Paul, Chavez Jr has also faced UFC legend Anderson Silva in the ring, but unlike the YouTuber he came out on the losing side against the Brazilian following an eight-round bout in June 2021.

After previously overcoming distinguished names in the UFC, Paul may view a win over a former world champion in Chavez Jr as a potential means of bolstering his credibility in boxing circles.
