Chavez Jr Reacts To Being Approached About Jake Paul Fight

Chavez Jr Reacts To Being Approached About Jake Paul Fight

It appears Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr may have legs as a fight and talks are underway.

Paul recently beat a 58-year-old Mike Tyson in a heavyweight eight rounder on Netflix that had a tremendous undercard.

Now Paul has approached son of boxing legend Chavez Sr. and per Michael Benson and Mexican news outlet TUDN he said:

“It’s an option, we’re looking into it, let’s see, this week I have a meeting. I’d be interested in fighting a champion, but fighting Jake Paul, for the fame and the media, would put me in a position to fight against others. I’m not looking for it, it’s been presented. It’s not concrete, but let’s see what happens.”

Interesting.

Chavez Jr. has been on a steady comeback to the sport in recent years and likely would make Paul an underdog in that fight.

It all depends on how hard Chavez trains for the fight basically.
