Jake Paul knocks out former world champion

Jake Paul made a strong statement about his status as a professional boxer when he defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a match that took place at Honda Center, California (USA) on the morning of June 29.

Jake Paul convincingly defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

No longer just flashy exhibition matches, Jake Paul demonstrated his remarkable progress in skill and character when he defeated former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision after 10 intense rounds. The victory extended his impressive streak and was his strongest statement to the boxing community.

This fight showed a completely different Jake Paul. He fought calmly, tactically and persistently for 10 rounds, instead of relying solely on power to look for an early knockout. This was the 11th victory of his career (11-1, 7 KOs) for the YouTube star, marking a spectacular return after a 7-month absence.

Paul's opponent is no novice. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., son of the boxing legend of the same name, is a former WBC middleweight champion and boasts an impressive record (54-6-1, 34 KOs).

Despite his ups and downs, Chavez Jr.'s experience remains a formidable challenge for any opponent. Notably, Chavez Jr. lost to Anderson Silva in 2021, another of Jake Paul's own losers.

Before the match, legend Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. was very confident in his son, and criticized Paul's victory over Mike Tyson: "Mike didn't throw a punch the whole fight. This time will be different."

But the reality in the ring proved otherwise. Jake Paul completely subdued Chavez Jr. Immediately after the victory was announced, he took the microphone and sent a clear message to those who still doubted his ability: "Shut up!".

This victory, along with his defeat of the legendary Mike Tyson in November 2024, gradually legitimized Jake Paul's position as a real boxer, no longer an internet phenomenon. He is a money-making machine, and a formidable opponent in the ring.
