Jake Paul is eagerly anticipating his showdown with former world champion boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., marking a significant challenge in his journey towards becoming a world champion.
The match is scheduled for the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, on Saturday, June 28th, as part of a collaborative event by Most Valuable Promotions and Golden Boy.
The co-main attraction features a title fight between Golden Boy’s unified WBO & WBA cruiserweight champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez and Cuba’s former IBF & WBA champion and current WBA mandatory contender Yuniel Dorticós.
Jake Paul causes Cybertruck to explode
Jake Paul shared an intense training clip on Instagram as he prepares to face the son of iconic Mexican fighter Julio Cesar Chavez. In the video, the American influencer pauses his regular workout in a parking lot to confront a robust Tesla Cybertruck. Upon striking the vehicle, it dramatically explodes, toppling Jake.
Fans had mixed reactions to the intense stunt, with some claiming the Cybertruck seems to “explode at every impact.” One Instagram user commented, “Tesla must be ancient.” Another added, “Looks like another grandpa might get taken out.”
This is happening as Jake Paul’s opponent, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., makes a return to boxing after nearly a year. The Mexican fighter recently scored a victory over former UFC athlete Uriah Hall, bringing his record to 54-6-1, and will look to avoid experiencing his seventh career loss.
How skilled is Jake Paul in boxing?
Jake Paul has demonstrated a commendable ability in boxing. A close split decision loss to Tommy Fury took away some of his shine, but he rebounded strongly by defeating veteran Nate Diaz and finishing off a few lesser-known fighters. He’s regained his momentum and is now gearing up for a big showdown against Mike Tyson.
Analysts in the boxing community have noted that Paul has earned recognition for diligently training alongside credible coaches and sparring partners, enhancing his boxing abilities complemented by inherent athletic talent and often a height advantage.
“Traditionally, Paul makes sure he has the upper hand in size and reach. He effectively leverages this benefit with a dynamic and fairly swift jab. Overall, he skillfully utilizes his lead shoulder to obscure this strike. He frequently doubles and triples his jabs, often aiming for the body,” stated Andrew Richardson for MMA Mania.
