Paul and Chavez Jr., son of former three-division world champ Julio
Cesar Chavez Sr., will trade leather in a Dazn pay-per-view card on
June 28 at Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The two met at a
press conference on Wednesday, where Paul promised to prove his
doubters wrong and embarrass Chavez.
“I’m going to shock the world once again and prove how good I am,
how powerful I am,” Paul said. “This is his toughest fight to date.
And I’m going to embarrass him and make him quit like he always
does.”
Initially a YouTuber-turned-boxer, Paul started gaining attention
when he knocked out former One
Championship king Ben Askren in
a boxing match. “The Problem Child” has since made a successful
business out of fighting and mostly beating legendary boxers and
MMA fighters well past their prime. Paul has victories over the
likes of Anderson
Silva, Nate Diaz,
Mike
Perry, and most recently Mike
Tyson. His only professional loss came against Tyson Fury’s
half-brother Tommy Fury.
Meanwhile, Chavez Jr. boasts a 54-6-1 pro record and has traded
leather with the likes of Saul “Canelo”
Alvarez and other world-class fighters. The 39-year-old is
coming off a unanimous decision victory against
Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Uriah Hall.
