Jake Paul has showcased impressive hand speed during his preparations for the upcoming heavyweight bout against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The American boxer and popular blogger released training footage that has generated significant buzz ahead of their June 29 clash.
The highly anticipated fight will headline a boxing event at the "Honda Center" in Anaheim, organized by Oscar de la Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions. Paul enters the ring with an 11-1 record (7 KOs), looking to build on his unanimous decision victory over Mike Tyson in his previous appearance.
His opponent, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., brings considerably more boxing experience with a professional record of 54-6-1 (34 KOs). The Mexican fighter is the son of legendary boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. and previously held the WBC world champion title from 2011 to 2012.
Interestingly, this matchup continues Paul's strategy of facing opponents with established boxing credentials. The weight limit for the contest has been set at 90.7 kg (200 pounds), placing it in the heavyweight division.
The fight will be broadcast exclusively on DAZN, with promotions jointly handled by Most Valuable Promotions and Golden Boy Boxing. Can the YouTube star's impressive hand speed translate to success against a former world champion? We'll find out on June 29.
