“I want more difficult fighters, I want to be world champion,” said Paul in his challenge to the former WBC champions.
Celebrity boxer Jake Paul Beaten the former medium weight boxing champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr by a unanimous decision in a Cruiserweight fight in California, in the United States.
The 28-year-old Youtube influencer who became boxer boxed to defeat his opponent with a score of judges of 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92 in the fight at 10 laps at the Honda Center in Anaheim on Saturday evening.
The victory marks the triumphant return of Paul in the ring seven months after his fight against the blockbuster against the former heavyweight champion of 58 years Mike Tyson.
Chavez JR, 39, is a former World Boxing Council (WBC) champion of average weights that has not held a major boxing title in 13 years and has only fought in the past three and a half years. He has also had well -documented personal problems in recent years.
Paul, who acquired glory as a social media star on YouTube and has become a boxer, now has a sequence of six victories and a 12-1 file with seven KO (Kos).
‘I want to be world champion’
After the victory, Paul challenged a number of current and former WBC champions to a fight.
“I want more difficult fighters, I want to be world champion,” he said in the Dazn streaming service in the ring.
He called Zurdo Ramirez, Badou Jack, Anthony Joshua, Gervonta Davis and Tommy Fury to “stop running”.
However, Chavez JR said that his conqueror was a “good fighter” but was not ready to face the list of champions he had appointed.
“He is strong, (he is a) good boxer (but) I don’t think he is ready for champions,” said Mexican.
Paul, who was to face Canelo Alvarez until the latter signed a lucrative agreement of four fights with the Riyadh de Turki Alashikh season, said that Alvarez “lowered” the fight.
In a video published on his account on social networks, Paul showed what he said to be a contract signed by himself and Alvarez for a fight to be held in Las Vegas on May 3.
“The truth is that you (Alvarez) could be bought,” said Paul at the time. “You are an acute money squirrel to continue your next nut.
Alvarez, a Mexican boxing superstar, the titles of the world of unified boxing super-housewives after a pedestrian but unanimous of the points against the champion of IBF William Scull in Riyadh on May 3.
Paul vs chavez jr: contrasting fortunes
The 28 -year -old is one of the main attractions of sport despite not having traditional combat pedigree thanks to a boxing association. Paul has won at least $ 60 million since the start of his boxing career, according to several sources.
His fight last November with Tyson, which Paul won in a decision of eight rounds, culminated at 64 million competing flows on Netflix.
Meanwhile, Chavez JR – with a record of (54-7-1, 34 kB) – has for the last time a great world boxing title in 2012 and experienced a difficult period inside and outside the ring in recent years.
In November 2021, his defeat in the shock by a shared decision at the AUFC veteran, Anderson Silva, 46 years old, in a cross boxing match was undoubtedly the lowest – and most embarrassing – professional boxing career. By coincidence, Paul beat Silva in a fight last year.
The personal problems of Mexican have included a lack of motivation, a repeated failure to gain weight for fighting, alcohol and drug addiction, an arrest for illegal possession of a firearm in his house in Los Angeles and a failed drug screening test. During the launch of Paul-Chavez’s fight in May in the Avalon in Hollywood, Paul made fun of Chavez’s dependence problems as well as his “lack of mentality”.
The reports indicate that Paul has a chance to enter the WBC ranking with victory.
“The WBC rating committee has followed Jake Paul’s career,” said WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman before the fight.
“If he beat Chavez, and according to the way the fight takes place, the committee will make the decision. It is very likely (Paul will be classified) if he wins convincingly.”
