WBA President Opens Door To Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr World Title Fight

Paul vs Chavez Jr World Title

Could this be really possible? Jake Paul boxing for a real professional boxing world title? Apparently so.

Last weekend Jake Paul recorded a stoppage win over Mike Perry in Florida.

Getting tired in the fight but having enough to stop Perry in their cruiserweight bout.

In another fighter seeing a pro boxer taking on an MMA fighter, Chavez Jr outpointed Uriah Hall.

Now the WBA (World Boxing Association) boss Gilberto Mendoza has set off some fireworks with this update on X:

“I am not against a @jakepaul v. @jcchavezjr for a championship…”

That will shake the boxing world and then some.

BOXING NEWS: Canelo Coach Reacts To Chavez Jr Win On Uriah Hall

Some fans might not like it but Paul is a big name and they’ll probably hope Chavez of Mexico knocks him out.

Chavez himself called out Paul after his win at the weekend.

Massive news without question.
