Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxing sensation, has sparked more controversy by turning down a potential fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., following his highly publicized bout with undisputed champion <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tyson">Mike Tyson</a>.



The young American, who has surprised the boxing world with victories over figures like Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, is now seeking more challenging opponents to solidify his status as a true contender in the heavyweight division.



The proposal to pit <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jake-paul">Jake Paul</a> against Chavez Jr. came from the World Boxing Association (WBA), which saw it as a potential blockbuster event to boost interest in boxing. However, Paul is not interested in this matchup — at least for now.



<h2>What Did Paul Say About Facing Chavez Jr.?</h2>



Jake Paul’s decision to reject a potential fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has generated considerable debate in the boxing community. While some criticize his bold attitude and perceived disrespect toward boxing legends, others admire his ambition and desire to face the best in the sport.

When asked about Chavez Jr., Paul made his stance clear: “I want someone tougher [than Chavez], and I want a real belt, not just something put up for entertainment value,” Paul said in a statement on Friday. “It’s great and all, but honestly, he’s easy work, and I want someone tougher to shut people up.” The young boxer made it clear that his goal is to become a legitimate world champion, and for that, he needs to face higher-level opponents.“

<h2>An Uncertain Future in Boxing for Jake Paul?</h2>



With his rejection of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/julio-cesar-chavez-jr">Chavez Jr.</a>, Jake Paul has left the door wide open for a variety of potential opponents. From experienced veterans to promising up-and-comers, many boxers have shown interest in facing the American.



However, Paul has made it clear that he won’t make decisions lightly and will carefully choose his next challenger. “I mean, there’s a long line out there,” he said. “They can take a ticket and get in line to see who I want to fight next. I don’t say that as [expletive] talk – I’m the biggest payday in the sport of boxing right now, so everyone wants to fight. When you’re the hot girl on the block, you can do what the [expletive] you want.”



<h2>Paul’s Impact on Boxing</h2>



Jake Paul’s entrance into the world of boxing has been one of the most surprising sports phenomena of recent years. His charisma, ability to stir controversy, and victories over professional boxers have made him an iconic figure for a new generation of fans. However, he has also faced criticism from boxing experts who believe his success is more about self-promotion than his skills as a boxer.



Regardless of what critics think, Jake Paul has undeniably become a force in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing">boxing</a> world. His future may be uncertain, but one thing is clear: he will continue to dominate headlines.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jake-paul">Jake Paul</a>, who recently defeated Mike Tyson in a highly controversial bout, has now been challenged by Former World Champion Julio César Chávez Jr. The Mexican fighter revealed that he has received an offer to face the polarizing YouTuber-turned-boxer.



Paul, known for stirring up the boxing world with his matches against figures from boxing and MMA, continues to pursue his burgeoning career. Despite widespread skepticism about his victory over <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tyson">Mike Tyson</a>, the fight brought him greater exposure and fueled his ambitions for bigger challenges.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/julio-cesar-chavez-jr">Julio César Chávez Jr.</a>, whose career has been marked by ups and downs as well as personal struggles, views a potential fight against Paul as a chance to reclaim relevance. The Mexican fighter, who has shared the ring with legends like Sergio Martínez and Canelo Álvarez, hopes to leverage Paul’s fame to boost his own career.



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

<h2>Is Paul vs. Chávez Jr. Possible?</h2>



The WBA, one of boxing’s four major sanctioning bodies, seems to support the idea of a fight between Paul and Chávez Jr. The organization’s president, Gilberto Mendoza, expressed interest in the potential matchup, suggesting it could be for a minor title. “I will insist,” Mendoza said. “I would love to see Jake Paul vs. Chávez Jr. for a championship.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/boxing/ufc-president-delivers-strong-warning-to-jake-paul-on-possibility-of-canelo-alvarez-fight"></div>


<h2>What are Jake Paul’s Plans?</h2>



Paul, meanwhile, has set his sights on even bigger goals. The 27-year-old has openly declared his desire to become a world champion and has named Canelo Álvarez as one of his ultimate targets.



“This moment will prove I’m the face of boxing, the largest attraction,“ Paul said. “Me vs. Canelo at 200 pounds for the cruiserweight championship of the world is the biggest fight—arguably even bigger than me vs. Tyson—and it makes so much sense.



“Canelo is on his way out. He’s going to want a payday, and I want to show the world that all the talk about me beating Canelo is true. It’ll be the biggest upset in the history of boxing. We’ll fight to see who the real face of boxing is because after this event, I’m going to claim that title.”



<h2>What’s Next for Jake Paul?</h2>



Despite ongoing criticism and doubts about his skills as a professional boxer, Jake Paul continues to attract attention and spark controversy in the boxing world. Whether his next opponent is Chávez Jr. or another fighter, Paul’s next chapter is shaping up to be another polarizing moment in his unconventional career.

The great JC is a true legend of world boxing and is considered by many to be the greatest Mexican fighter of all time and one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in history. His record after a 25-year career was 107-6-2 (85 KOs), in which he won <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-fighters-who-have-won-world-titles-in-five-different-weight-classes-20211217-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World titles in three different weight classes</a>, and remained undefeated for 90 bouts.

His record is 53-6-1 (34 KOs).
<h2>Julio Cesar Chavez’s tough decision about his son</h2>
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is very active on social media. He is constantly <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-shares-good-news-about-his-health-and-his-possible-fight-against-Jake-Paul-20220107-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sharing moments of his day-to-day life</a> with his followers. However, he has recently disappeared from his verified accounts. Rumors about his condition began to emerge, so his father, El Gran Campeon Mexicanocame out to clarify Julito’s situation.
“To all those who have asked about my son Julio I want to say that he is in good hands. He is in a rehabilitation program, recovering. Very soon he will be well and will be able to talk to all of you. He is not kidnapped, he is not lost. He is in rehab and soon he will tell you about it. This is so you can enjoy your son, blessings.”, stated Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. on his social media.
Before this event, it was speculated that Julito was in talks to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-jake-paul-shares-the-reason-why-canelo-Alvarez-has-no-excuses-to-not-fight-him-20220204-0040.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fight</a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-jake-paul-shares-the-reason-why-canelo-Alvarez-has-no-excuses-to-not-fight-him-20220204-0040.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Youtuber Jake Paul</a>, a rivalry that was growing in the heat of the discourteous statements of both in social networks and that now will have to wait for the son of the legend to rejoin the fight after recovering from his alleged addiction problem, an illness he had suffered before.

Thanks to a video uploaded by himself on his social media,it was revealedthat former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-all-current-world-champions-in-the-17-divisions-of-the-4-top-organizations-20211215-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Middleweight Champion</a> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-insults-jake-paul-and-shares-a-prediction-if-they-fight-each-other-20220111-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.</a>was arrested by the SinaloaMinisterial Police Department. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/Upcoming-boxing-fights-for-the-first-3-months-of-2022-confirmed-by-Eddie-Hearn-and-other-promoters-20220107-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> personality went live on Instagram atthe exact moment of the issue.
“Just get out of the car, we have to take you to the Police Department. You are under gun possession. Just get out, we want to talk with you“, said the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-tenessee-titans-bud-dupree-with-a-citation-after-a-violent-altercate-at-a-pharmacy-20220104-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policemen</a> that stopped Chavez Jr’s car near an important Mall in the city by parking their patrol just in front of him to block his way.
“I have just woken up. I come directly from my home. I have done nothing and I am not armed” answeredJulitojust to immediately refuse to step out of his car, despite the policemen petition to get out of the vehicle and do things right.
<h2>What happened to Julio Chavez Jr. after he was arrested and who did he blame for this problem?</h2>
Again on his social media, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-shares-good-news-about-his-health-and-his-possible-fight-against-Jake-Paul-20220107-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chavez Jr</a> showed himself hours after the issue. Right at his home, he explained that the Police released him because they made sure he has done nothing wrong and told was really had happened from his point of view.
“I am going to tell you the truth. The police told me I had a gun, but every single person here in Sinaloa has a gun, and even more when you have suffered several kidnaps and aggressions. I have received many guns asgifts“, saidJulito.
Then, at dawn, the son of mighty <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/best-boxer-in-the-world-of-all-time-20210214-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julio Cesar Chavez Sr</a>. opened his heart to express what he felt and thought about the issue with the police. He even blamed a very specific person for what has occurred to him in the previous hours.
“They want to hold me back, to take advantage of me. I do not deserve that. I am angry, very angry. I am planning to file a lawsuit against the ones who gave the police false information about me (the gun possession). Carlos Appel is an abusive person, he was the one that organized this issue. “
<h2>Who is Carlos Appel, the one Julio Cesar Chavez Jr blamed for his arrest?</h2>
After having problems with drugs and alcohol consumption, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr decided to create a clinic focused on the rehab of people who suffered from the same problem. “Baja del Sol” clinic was born in 2013 at Tijuana. Then in 2015, another location was added: in Culiacan, Sinaloa. Carlos Appel is the current director of Chavez Sr’s rehab centers.

As the son of a world boxing legend, like Julio Cesar Chavez, Julito was fulfilling the expectations over him. Nevertheless, after he lost his undefeated condition in 2012, in a bout against Sergio Martinez, his career, and maybe his personal life also, fell apart.
He could never return to the boxing elite and suffered 5 more defeats in his 12 last clashes. Also, he was suspended by several Box and Athletic Commissions for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-may-have-addiction-problems-points-out-his-wife-frida-munoz-20220104-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refusing to participate in antidoping tests</a>. But now, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr does not want to lose his possible last train to come back to the eyes of the boxing community: a fight against Jake Paul.

“(Jake Paul) He is just a disheveled, bad boxer, heavy and paunchy who wants to take advantage of the bad times I have passed by to help him to shine in boxing. I can assure you that I will kick his ass. The winner of our fight should take all the money“, stated Julito on his social media.

Apparently, life smiles again to former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/Upcoming-boxing-fights-for-the-first-3-months-of-2022-confirmed-by-Eddie-Hearn-and-other-promoters-20220107-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> champion<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-may-have-addiction-problems-points-out-his-wife-frida-munoz-20220104-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julio Cesar Chavez Jr</a>.

Hours later, the next day, Chavez Jr made an update about his health condition and also confirmed that he will fight on February 18 against an opponent to be confirmed.

“I have good news: it seems that this is all about antibodies. I feel fine at times. Maybe those who already were infected understand what I mean: at times, you feel bad,and then you feel good.My body feels hot inside but there is no fever. I pray a lot to God for me“, stated the son of might Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.
<h2>Will the Chavez Jr fight against Jake Paul really happen?</h2>
“Another good news is that I will fight on February 18 and also it seems that I will also face the Youtuber (Jake Paul), however, he might be afraid of me. I hope it will be done. It is very possible, almost sure if he does the things right. I am ready for anybody, even more for a guy that is not a fighter“, shared the Culiacan native.

The former World Middleweight Champion, and first Mexican ever to win a title in that division, is dealing with the frustration of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-the-ocassions-when-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-shamed-his-family-name-20211216-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not honoring his father’s legacy</a> in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-floyd-mayweather-next-fight-will-take-him-so-high-20220104-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a>, and, now, with health issues, as his wife revealed recently.
The polemic is something that Julito has always dealt with. Since he was a child, he witnessed how his father, the great Mexican champion Julio Cesar Chavez, had trouble with drugs and other substances abuse. Also, from the beginning of his professional career, all the lights were over him for being the son of a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/best-boxer-in-the-world-of-all-time-20210214-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing legend</a>, and every decision he made was strongly judged and compared with the ones Canelo Alvarez made.
Unfortunately for Chavez Jr, he could not fulfill the expectations over his career and, after losing his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-all-current-world-champions-in-the-17-divisions-of-the-4-top-organizations-20211215-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">world title</a> against Argentinian SergioMaravillaMartinez, he was not able to recover the bright. Now, with 35 years old and a very little chance to put his name again at the top of boxing rankings, his personal life is touched by the controversy, according to Frida Muñoz, his wife.
<h2>The health issues of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr according to his wife Frida Muñoz</h2>
TheUnivisionshowDespierta Americahas interviewed Frida Muñoz, still, Chavez Jr’s wife, who leaked the Mexican boxer is living dark times that affect not only his performance in the ring but, overall, his daily life with harmful behavior.
“I do not judge him. He has had a very difficult childhood, and he is repeating what he has learned from his father. He has not received the proper treatment and that is why he continues in the same way. He is an ill person and tries to evade his reality by taking pills and blaming everybody around him“, stated Muñoz.
Despite his hypothetical addiction and psychological problems, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is not pointed out as a bad person by his wife: “He is a good guy, the father of my children and I am not going to speak negatively about him because I respect the kids and his parents. They know how difficult it has been to deal with his illness“, concludedJulito’s wife.
In 2012, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr was suspended by Nevada Athletic Commission due to a positive result for marijuana next his defeat with Sergio Martinez. Also, in December 2019 he moved his fight with Daniel Jacobs from Nevada to Arizona after he refused to make <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-sun-report-cocaine-use-rampant-at-premier-league-games-20211229-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-doping</a> tests before his clash againstthe Miracle Man.

The first step wasgivenapparently. A <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing-t152899" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> fight between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/jake-paul-t154263" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jake Paul</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/julio-cesar-chavez-jr-t137010" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julio Cesar Chavez Jr</a> could be happening in 2022 after there have been plenty of rumors about both fighters’ next rival followingtheir respective bouts on December 18.
Jake Paulhad another victorious performance in the ring: he brutally knocked out <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ufc-t24661" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UFC</a> mixed martial artist <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-who-is-jake-paul-boxing-next-everything-you-need-to-know-about-tyron-woodley-20211216-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyron Woodley</a>on their rematch. This triumph represents the fifth on the same number of fightsfor the Problem Child. Being 5-0 means that maybe he is ready to facefor the first time a pure boxer.
On the other hand, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr returned to the winning road against David Zegarra. The former World Middleweight Championdefeatedhis Peruvian rival on the cards but recognized that is still far away from his best shape. Perhaps a more difficult, but not impossible, challenge can help him to recover his boxing memory.

<h2>What has to happen to see Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in 2022</h2>
In an interview withFightnews.com,Julitorevealed that the negotiations between his team and Jake Paul’sto schedule a clash may have started. However, there is somethingessentialthat must receive Chavez Jr before saying yes to meetthe Problem Child.
“Jake Paul and his people contacted me regarding a fight with Paul; I said yes, but then again Lupe Valencia, who is with Paul now and used to be with me a few years back, said they offered me one to three million dollars plus PPV. When it’s a fight that can sell millions and can break records because he is popular and I have a name, I’m a former world champion, so I made it clear that it has to be a 50/50 split for me to take the fight“, stattedthe first-ever Mexican Middleweight Champion of the World.

If the economic distribution of the incomesis fairenough for Chavez Jr, he would accept to jump into the 190 lbs, weight in which Jake Paul has fought. Even there is a size difference,Julitoconsiders that his experience could make the difference.
“Jake Paul is a big guy and weight matters, so it’s a risk. Their people may want to see me lose and take advantage, but he doesn’t know how to box, I know I can knock him out; if the Paul fight happens, I will be very well prepared to win. I will not lose.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/jake-paul-t154263" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jake Paul</a> has shared his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing-t152899" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a> bucket list. Dreaming is free so why not imagine himself facing figures as Canelo Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson or Tyson Fury. The thing is that reality may be very different from what he wishes.
For example,Alvarez is on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-canelo-alvarez-and-his-road-to-glory-on-2022-20211216-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his path to boxing immortality</a> and plans to challenge WBC World Cruiserweight Ilunga Makabu in May. ThePretty Boyis enjoying his time traveling and does not seem interested in scheduling a fight soon.Iron Mikemight be too heavy for Paul and theGipsy Kingis facing a mandatory bout and, then, will try to be the undisputed Heavyweight Champion at the expense of Oleksander Usyk.
So, if Jake Paul really wants to make a serious boxing career, not just bea successful fighting moneymaker, he could try sharing the ring with viable but challenging rivals. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/who-will-fight-jake-paul-next-fans-have-a-favorite-option-for-a-matchup-20211220-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real boxers, not Youtubers, Basketball players, or Mixed Martial Artists</a>.

<h2>Four real boxer opponents for Jake Paul in 2022</h2>
Tommy Fury. Tyson’s half-brother was supposed to fightThe Problem Childin December but a broken rib and a strange bacterial chest infection dropped him from the ring. With enough time to recover, Tommy could definitely be the first step to test Paul’s boxing skills.TNTisa professional boxer since 2018 and holds a record of 7-0-0 (4 KO’s).
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-the-threat-chavez-jr-throws-if-he-faces-jake-paul-20211222-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A really interesting match for Jake Paul</a>. The son of the mighty Mexican champion wants to rebuildhis career after many dark episodes. Recently, Chavez Jr defeated Peruvian David Zegarra and is searching for a notorious rival to claim the boxing community attention. He is strong and experienced and would have no problem jumping to the limits of Cruiserweight. If Jake beats a former World Champion, many other boxers could start taking him for real.
Sergey Kovalev. After being knocked out by Canelo Alvarez in 2019,the Krusherhas faced legal and personal issues that have taken him away from the ring. Nevertheless, a solid economic opportunity may invite him to reconsider his exile. Undoubtedly, Kovalev’s experience and power may let the world see if Jake Paul is ready to challenge boxingTop Dogs.

Despite his almost 39 years, the Swedish boxer may put Jake Paul in serious trouble.

Boxing: The threat Chavez Jr throws if he faces Jake Paul - Bolavip US

The legacy of Julio Cesar Chavez is known and well respected all around the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing-t152899" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a>world; even more in his country, Mexico. The family name greatness was built based on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/top-25-most-impressive-boxing-records-20210616-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tears, blood and sweat</a> of el Gran Campeon Mexicano. Unfortunately his son, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, could not continue with the golden path. Even more: lately, he has achieved more shame than glory. A pity.
Julitois going to face the peruvian David Zegarra on December 18, a bout hosted in his hometown Culiacan, Sinaloa. Zegarra, known also asThe Panter, has a professional record of 36-6-0 (21 KOs). He has 3 consecutive losses since November 2019. For sure, this is not a conversationabout an elite boxer.
Unfortunately, the public attention will be focused more on the risk that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr may take against his 37 year old rival than on an inminent triumph of him: it is common to witness how the older son of the great JCcollects losses or pathetic performances sinceMaravillaMartínez took the WBC World Middleweight Championship away from him.

<h2>The moments when Juilo Cesar Chavez Jr ashamed his family name</h2>
May 2017, las Vegas, Nevada. One of the most expected bouts for mexican fans had just arrived: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr against Saul Canelo Alvarez. This two fighters were almost contemporaries: Julio started his career on 2003 and the nowadays Pound for Pound king on 2005. The pride was at stake.
Unfortunately for the Chavez family,Julitowas clearly schooled by Canelo. There were no positive sensations of the son of the legend along the fight. He dedicated just to survive on the ring while Alvarez showed his skills all night long. Without any doubt, a hard defeat no only for the Jr, but for his father.
<div style="text-align:center">

December 2019, Phoenix, Arizona. Maybe the last elite fight Chavez Jr had since Canelo: the experienced Daniel Jacobs was his opponent. A tough one. First of all, the bout was settled on the Super middleweight division: Julio stop the scale on the 172 lbs. Zero respect for his profession.
Already in the ring, Jacobs made Chavez Jr pay:he was clearly wining the fight until the mexican decided to abandon after the end of the fifth round,because an injury on his nose. The reaction of his father, the great Julio Cesar, disaproving his son’s decision was so enigmatic that it turned viral on the social media.
September 2020, Culiacan, Sinaloa. Another one for Chavez Jr and another dagger right on the heart of the family’s name. This time, his rival was the rookie Mario Abel Cazares: a fighter with only 11 professional bouts and which only highlight is an amateur win against Canelo Alvarez, when they were adolescents.
Good for Cazares but a dissaster forJulito, the fight was even until round 6, when, again, Chavez Jr chose not to continue. The reason: a cut on his eyebrow. The war was over and the judges decided that, up to the stoppage, Mario Abel was up in the scorecards. Different rival, same ending.
June 2021, Guadalajara, Jalisco. Julio Cesar Chavez prepared an exhibition fight againstMachoCamacho’s son. Beforeel Gran Campeon Mexicanostepped into the ring, his two older sons had official fights on the undercard. Omar lost against Ramon Alvarez, Canelo’s brother, on the third edition of this clash. It was up to the Jr to give his father a joy.
Julitowas facing Anderson Silva: yes, the mighty mixed martial artist, an UFC superstar. It was supposed to be now or never for the former Middleweight Champion of the World. Nevertheless, Silva proved everyone wrong and clearly defeated Chavez Jr. More damage for the already injured pride of the family name.
