Mexican Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., former world middleweight champion, will face YouTuber Jake Paul this Saturday, June 27 (10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT) in Anaheim, California, in a shambling fight that will distract fans from the credibility crisis in professional boxing. Want to know who won the fight? Here are the results of the entire card.
After defeating the legendary Mike Tyson by decision last November, in a dull fight between a 27-year-old and a 58-year-old veteran, Paul will challenge Chavez Jr., who also saw his prime pass and, at 39, is far from his brightest years.

Jake Paul vs. Julio César Chávez Jr.
Paul, an eccentric with some physical qualities, has taken center stage as an alternative to the reality of boxing, a sport in which the best, like Mexican Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, can choose their opponents and not face the big names, with the approval of international organizations.
“I’m going to knock Chávez out, maybe in the first round,” predicted the American millionaire, who will face a comeback opponent after recovering from addiction.
Julio Cesar is the firstborn son of the greatest Mexican boxer in history, Julio Cesar Chavez. He inherited many qualities from his father, but not his discipline, which prevented him from achieving more victories, although his record is good: 54 wins, 34 by knockout; with six losses, two by knockout.
With 11 wins, seven before the limit, and one loss, Paul mocked the Mexican midweek by releasing a video in which he hit a piñata with the face of “junior.”
The non-title fight, in the cruiserweight division, is scheduled for 10 rounds at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
“I have the experience and I still have my skills; I’m going to give Paul some lessons,” said the Mexican, who is trying to prove that at his age he can still hold his own.
Although his technique is far from that of the best fighters in the world, Paul takes advantage of his youth, his good reach, and his excellent physical condition. He’s a strong fighter who can hit hard, although he doesn’t seem ready to climb the ladder to a professional title.
The legendary Julio Cesar Chavez assured that his son will easily defeat the YouTuber. “He’s going to beat him the hell out of his life.”
