Sports Pulse
Jake Paul wants to win the World Championships. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. owned over a decade ago.
That could be the range of what will tie them down as they head to the boxing ring for a 10-round cruiserweight fight held in Anaheim, California on Saturday.
Chavez Jr., 39, won the WBC World Middleweight Championship in 2011. He lost it the following year and was unable to live up to the immense expectations supported by the success of his father’s Hall of Fame Giulio Cesar Chavez Sr.
Chavez (54-6-1, 34 Kos) has a clear edge in the experience of 28-year-old Paul (11-1, 7 KOs). However, he looked vulnerable in his final match. After more than 205 years of layoffs, it was an inactive victory over Uliahole in 2024.
In contrast, Paul has been active since embarking on his professional career in 2020, beating Mike Tyson in 2024 with a unanimous decision.

Josh Peter, USA TODAY: Paul by TKO
Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., 39, is far beyond his prime. At 28, Jake Paul is approaching Prime. Paul wins thanks to the young man and powerful right hand. prediction: Jake Paul from TKO, round 9.
Jon Hoefling, USA Today: Paul by decision
Considering Paul couldn’t knock out 58-year-old Mike Tyson, a matchup with someone close to his prime in a better way than Tyson should not bring anything bigger. Paul is younger, faster, active recently, and his strength is not a scoff, but it seems like there is a greater chance that Paul and Chavez will move more distance than anything else.
C. Jackson Cowart, Sportsbook Review: Paul is a medium decision, possibly TKO
Cowart said, “Youth, power, reach and recent consistent performances make Paul clear. Chavez Jr. has skills and pedigree, but his age, recent lack of high levels of activity, and motivational concerns are a big red flag. Paul’s field of physical benefits and training should outweigh Chavez Jr.’s experience.”
Odds Shark: Paul by ko/who (+140)
The odds stated, “Unless Chavez Jr. appears in the form of peaks, this is Paul’s fight to lose. He is in better form, he is more active, his power is real. Chavez Jr. may have pedigree, but Paul has the tools and drive right now.”
