Jake Paul is set to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a cruiserweight bout this summer, as reported by Ring Magazine. The date and location of the match have not been disclosed yet. This comes after Paul's previously planned bout with Canelo Alvarez was canceled due to Alvarez signing a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season. In his last fight, Paul secured a victory against Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in November.
Chavez Jr., with a record of 54-6-1 and 34 KOs, made a successful return to the ring last July after a three-year hiatus, defeating Uriah Hall on Jake Paul's undercard. The 39-year-old former WBC middleweight champion will now face Paul in what promises to be an intriguing matchup in the cruiserweight division.
