Overview

• Jake Paul (11-1, seven KOs) and Julio César Chávez Jr. (54-6-1, 34 KOs) will square off in a cruiserweight bout at Anaheim’s Honda Center on June 28.
• Paul returns after a unanimous decision victory over Mike Tyson last November, while Chávez Jr. seeks to build on his July 2024 unanimous decision win over former UFC contender Uriah Hall.
• Organizers announced nine undercard fights headlined by a WBO cruiserweight title clash between Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez and Yuniel Dorticos.
• Renewed claims that Paul’s previous bouts were "fixed" have emerged, prompting Most Valuable Promotions to assert that all matches comply fully with boxing regulations.
• Observers note that Chávez Jr. represents the most decorated opponent of Paul’s career and could provide the sternest test yet for the 28-year-old.
