Can Jake Paul become a world champion?
Published
12 months agoon
By Manny Delgado: Jake Paul (12-1, 7 Kos), “The Problem Child”, won the victory over the former WBC medium world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (54-7-1, 34 KO), last Saturday. Probably his most critical victory so far, although there is not much to write, taking into account that Chavez was a master almost 15 years ago. Not to mention that Chavez is heavily considered the biggest boxing. He never treated this sport and lives under the shadow of his father – Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., Living legend.
It was Paweł for the second time in the face of a “legal boxer”. His first was against Tommy Fury. However, Fury is not special either. There are no distinctive attributes or natural talent for this sport. Regardless of this, he handed Paul his first loss in history and the first real boxing lesson.
The result of this fight incited further and more emphasized conversations in sport. For example, Paul has never been able to compete with real boxers or become a legal boxer. It is simply “side” or “circus” because people love to claim so often. Criticism towards the generally distasteful form, such as Paul aside, taking into account his noisy fooling, many observers of this sport were generally surprised, seeing that Jake Paul improved a significant amount since his loss with Tommy Fury in 2023.
It seems that he now treats this sport and moves like a rather decent boxer at the amateur level. He is only 5 years senior since his professional boxing career, but he has a technical profile and the basics of boxers 1-2 years in a competitive amateur boxing career. However, not everyone would agree, because many would still go to call him “garbage”. It can be said that for someone with the amount of money and resources he has, it should be much better thanks to jumps and borders.
Regardless, with his best performance, there is a word that WBA officially argues him. Paweł did not waste time, calling for many fights after victory. He wants more complex challenges and become a world champion. Dreaming pipes for YouTuber, who changed the boxer, who had a very slow start in sport because he did so well in its 20 years. This is a sport in which the largest super -visits usually start as soon as they can walk, or, at least, with their early teenagers. Although there are exceptions, these are often fights with technically restricted skills. In this respect, Paweł is still a very restricted boxer.
Many would even go to Jake Paul delusions and it would be complex to argue, even Chavez Jr mentioned in an interview after the fight that he does not think that Paul is ready for any of the masters. Jake replied: “I only need myself if I listened to someone in my life, I would not be where I am today, so self -confidence, self -confidence.”
He followed a positive message for children, repeating the meaning of faith of himself:
“If you are a child at home, do not listen to anyone who tells you, you cannot do shit. I am a living proof of this *** I am with ohio. I did not have s ***. Self -styled mother ***
This can be easily criticized by those who condemn him as the right message, the wrong messenger. Apart from criticism, after all, this is a positive message that can be said that it resonates with many youthful and sensitive minds. Despite all the shortcomings of Jake Paul in the form and erroneous methods of delivery, he cannot be knocked too much to his good attempts to inspire the next generation.
There are also a lot of criticism towards Paweł about the legitimacy of his fights. Words such as “falsified”, “Circus act” and “script” are thrown into the conversation mixture, synonymously with any reference to his name. The way he carefully chose his opponents does not differ from how up-to-date perspectives are paired with taxi drivers, construction staff and general sideboards. This is to win their records with winning their first 10-20 GHTTS to build their certainty. The difference is that Jake Paul does it at a larger stage and uses it when choosing recognizable names. He secures greater payments, fighting with MM on surpluses, retired legends and presses, and not taking into account the incomplete time, which is known only by him at his home.
It is a wise move and is not very different than a typical boxing tradition, but one that has gathered a lot of criticism because of how much generally it is to avoid boxing fans. His approach is controversial because of his sensationalism, many claimed that completely “mockery” of this sport.
During the interview after the beating, Paul called Zurdo Ramirez, Badou Jack, Anthony Joshua, Gervont Davis and Tommy Fury. It seems that Jake Paul feels more confident than ever. This can be attributed to his six -chain series of winnings, because the defeat of Tommy Fury, in which he includes the legend of Mike Tyson, and currently the former champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. This newly discovered trust of the natural progress of victorious fights they reach internally. Of course, the plays are in the game. This can be called an illusion and exaggerated self -control, which is possible thanks to Paweł’s mental gymnastics. Because he defeated the legendary Mike Tyson, the most recognizable name in boxing (even if he is a senior now), for Jake Paul, it may seem so satisfying as if he was able to defeat the main Mike Tyson.
Regardless of Paweł, if we are to seriously treat him seriously in his pursuit of greatness and believe that he intends to come up with the names he called, which many simply consider to be an extension of his antics. The question remains: can he really become the world champion?
Most boxing fans aggressively do not agree. Although Paul showed constant improvements and provided a respectable performance, showing a solid understanding of the basic basics of boxing, it is still an amateur boxing level. He has a long way before he can become a world champion, if at all. In the end he made a solid beating in 9 and 10 rounds, when Chavez Jr was ready to let his hands leave.
The most realistic pursuit of Paweł would be to suggest his loss against boxer lower Tommy Fury. However, even if it happened, it seems that it is moved by playing more than it can chew, challenging justified boxers at the world level. Pressing or real ambitions? They will only inform the coming months.

Mike Tyson tells Oleksandr Usyk to face one fighter next: ‘We’re waiting for you’

Mike Tyson urged Oleksandr Usyk to face one of his closest rivals instead of an immediate rematch with Rico Verhoeven.
The Ukrainian is clearly considering his options after his last outing, which ended with: a somewhat controversial 11th round victory over Verhoeven.
Surprisingly, Usyk found himself in a competitive battle with the former kickboxer, whose only previous professional boxing match allowed him to stop the journeyman in the second round of their 2014 meeting.
As such, Verhoeven was considered the clear underdog, but he nonetheless put in a commendable performance last month, staying in contention with the heavyweight champion for 10 completed rounds.
Then the Dutchman suffered a knockdown, and referee Mark Lyson waved him off, and his intervention took place after the signal.
Despite both pairs calling for an immediate rematch, Usyk was ordered to defend his WBC title against mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel.
As the WBC “interim” champion, Kabayel has been waiting for his chance to win the full title since stopping Zhilei Zhang with a sixth-round body attack in February 2025.
And although the 33-year-old has shown considerable patience during this time, he is clearly feeling increasingly frustrated with the situation, so much so that he posted social media clip “Iron Mike” demanding that Usyk defend the WBC, IBF and WBA titles against him.
“Usyk, we’re waiting for you, brother. We need you, Usyk. We need this money, baby. Come get it.”
Usyk must now decide whether to face Kabayel, who has established himself as the most deserving contender, or to relinquish the WBC belt and pursue a rematch with Verhoeven.
Alternatively, he can simply hang up the gloves and, at the age of 39, embark on a brilliant career.

Dana White had to sell Fury vs. Joshua to random US players

Fury and Joshua remain linked to the highly anticipated all-British heavyweight clash, with recent discussions focusing not only on whether the fight will eventually happen, but also on who will oversee its promotion. Although Fury has spent much of his career working with Frank Warren and Joshua was Matchroom Boxing’s banner star under Eddie Hearn, Sauerland sees value in bringing a different voice.
Addressing growing speculation about White’s possible role, Sauerland explained why he thinks the UFC president could support expand the event’s reach beyond the UK.
“If Turki wants Dana to run him, it makes total sense because he has American eyes,” Sauerland told Seconds Out.
“There will be a strategic reason if they want to bring in Dana White. If they are going to bring in Dana White, it will have something to do, I assume, with America, where this fight means very little.
“It’s a huge fight in the UK at the moment. I mean, huge doesn’t really do it justice. Here it’s gigantic, but in America people don’t queue to watch this fight.”
Sauerland also pointed to White’s success in building the UFC as a dominant force in the U.S. combat sports market.
“Bringing in Dana brings a UFC element to the fight,” Sauerland said. “Let’s face it, MMA in America has been the dominant combat sport in America for the last 15, 20 years.
“Boxing, if boxing works in America, is still by far the biggest sport. So I understand from a business standpoint why they would do it.”
White is becoming an increasingly influential figure in boxing thanks to his collaboration with Turki Alalshikh and the launch of Zuffa Boxing. While no agreement has been announced for Fury and Joshua to finally meet in the ring, Sauerland’s comments underscore why White’s involvement may go beyond promotional news.
The heavyweight competition has long been one of boxing’s biggest unrealized events. While the contest would likely sell out a stadium in the UK regardless of who promoted it, Sauerland believes Dana White’s ability to reach grassroots combat sports fans in the United States could make the Joshua vs. Fury fight a truly global spectacle.

Tim Bradley names the heavyweight who can beat Oleksandr Usyk: ‘This could be his time’

Tim Bradley listed probably the biggest challenge for Oleksandr Usyk, who some say should hang up his gloves after the clash with Rico Verhoeven.
Last month, the Ukrainian endured a tougher-than-expected test against Verhoeven, which ended with a controversial suspension following an 11th-round knockout.
Until then Usyk was losing on one of the judges’ scorecards However, he managed to inspire the intervention of referee Mark Lyson, who waved at Verhoeven after the bell.
Indeed, it was controversial while on duty, however, the real story is that Verhoeven, a former kickboxer, was able to last 11 rounds with the heavyweight king.
Perhaps it was because Usyk underestimated his opponent, or perhaps his performance would be better explained by a text message he received from his daughter, who contacted him from a bomb shelter in Ukraine before the fight.
Either way, the 39-year-old would need to significantly improve his performance if he faces WBC “interim” champion Agit Kabayel in his next fight.
I keep talking his YouTube channelBradley said Kabayel, who has previously stopped fighters such as Zhilei Zhang and Frank Sanchez, posed a real threat to Usyk’s dominance as WBC, IBF and WBA world champion.
“You have a guy like Kabayel who has been waiting for a while. This might be the right time for him [to defeat Usyk].
“Usyk’s aged manager [Alex Krassyuk] he said, “You must go ahead and retire, because if you don’t retire, you will be defeated.”
“[Krassyuk] I didn’t like what he saw against Rico, but I have hope for him in this fight [with Kabayel] what’s happening next. Fighting Kabayel will be tough for him.
“This guy can punch, he can punch the body very well, he can move and box, he can get forward, he can counter-punch – he can do a little bit of everything.”
Having been ordered to defend his WBC title against Kabayel, Usyk must now decide whether to face the undefeated challenger or vacate the belt and pursue alternative options.
