Jake Paul (11-1, 7 KO) will take the next step to become the world champion when he faces the former WBC medium scale champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (54-6-1, 34 KO) 28 June at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The most valuable promotions revealed details about the fight against ESPN on Friday.

The 10-round fight, which MVP will interact with the Golden Boy promotions Oscar de la Hoya, will be questioned with a weight limit of 200 pounds and air on Dazn Pay-Per-View.

“Five years ago I entered the ring to my professional debut after one amateur fight, and each fight was a step towards becoming the world champion. I just beat the youngest man on the planet, and now I am fighting the former master, whom Conman Canelo could not end,” said 28 -year -old Jake Paul, said in the ESPN statement.

“Chávez Jr. is a Mexican, but I, El Gallo de Dorado, I have the will and heart of the great Mexican fighters. On Saturday, June 28, live in Dazn Pay-View, I knock out Julio and I make chávez sr. proud in the way Jr. never has another massive event with some season, with some season, with some season, with some season Oscara de la Hoya.

The announcement of the fight appears only a few months after the proposed fight between Paul and Canelo Alvarez broke up at 11 hours in favor of four fights with the Riyadh season. Then Paul continued the fight against Gervont “Tank” Davis. However, the controversial majority of Davis from Lamont Roach Jr. In March, she derailed these plans because it is currently expected that Davis will continue the Roach rematch. After the breakup of two hit duels, Paul turned to the former world champion and son of the boxing legend in Chavez.

“Chavez Jr. was always on a miniature list of fighters that Jake Paul aimed,” said MVP co -founder, Nakisa Bidarian to ESPN. “After the fight with Tyson, the original plan consisted in the fight against Chavez Jr.

39 -year -old Chavez will be the second former world champion with whom Paul stood, although the previous champion lost to the former YouTuber, he won his first world championships over a decade before Paweł’s birth. In November 2024, Paul won a unanimous decision against the former heavyweight master Mike Tyson, 58, in a record event on Netflix. Chavez had the last world champion title in 2012. Since losing the WBC title with Sergio Martinez in 2012, the career of Chavez was uneven and inconsistent, and the Mexican passed 8-6 after the 46-0-1 record began.

Chavez’s performances have suffered significantly, with unilateral decision defeat with Alvarez in 2017 and a embarrassing loss from former MMA master Anderson Silva in 2021. He was recently in action based on Paweł’s fight with Mike Perry in July in July, when Chavez pointed to MMA Fighter Uriah Hall in the fight with six times. Although Chavez is far from the form he had at the beginning of his career, the former master thinks that his problems are behind him and will be able to reverse “El Gallo”.

“First of all, I will show what I can do now so that everything is in the right place in my life and physically,” said Chavez. “I feel rejuvenated and 10 years younger. Secondly, I want to thank MVP for the risk of fighting me. Unfortunately, for their problem child, they will have a huge problem in June-one will not know how to solve. Let’s hope that when I beat him, people will not disregard this win.”

In the co-main event, a unified weight champion in Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (47-1, 30 KO) from Golden Boy Promotions will defend his titles against the former united champion Yunal Dorticos (27-2, 25 KO).

Ramirez won the titles of WBO and WBA in 2024 after his term of office in Super Middle Wweight, where he maintained the title of WBO in 2016-2018, after which he left to move on to a featherlight ponderous weight. The lonely defeat of Ramirez came against the current heavyweight champion Dmitryjum Bivol in November 2022. Fighting from Cuba, Dorticos is a former master of the cruiser’s weight in the winning series.

“Once again, Golden Boy proves that we are ready to cooperate with everyone to ensure the largest and most thrilling events in boxing. We are excited to cooperate with Jake Paul, Nakisa Bidarian, the most valuable promotions, and Dazn to bring this hit to fans around the world,” said Oscar de la Hoya, chairman and general director of Golden Boy.

Paul and de la Hoya divide a common enemy in UFC Dana White CEO, which has UFC 317 during the annual international promotion struggle week at Paul-Chavez Jr. at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“I am excited about cooperation with Oscar de la Hoya, who is the only former warrior who successfully run a promotional company,” said Bidarian. “Like Jake Paul, Oscar has his haters, but this is because they both move with a needle, like few, and they are not afraid to speak in their minds.”

Devin Haney trains with Shane Mosley in Gigantic Bear, California to prepare to fight Jose Ramirez in 15 days at Times Square, Fresh York.

Cooperation with a retired former world champion with three divisions, Mosley, is a sign that Haney (31-0, 15 KO) knows what he wants to fight with the Olympian in the USA Ramirez (29-2, 18 Kos), which can hit a little.

32 -year -old Ramirez worked on his energy game with coach Robert Garcia for this fight, hoping that he would win a knockout. Former WBC promoter and WBO Featherlight Welter Wweight Ramirez, Oscar de la Hoya, thinks Haney is “shot“A fighter from his three -wheeled defeat with Ryan Garcia on April 20 last year. If Oscar is right, Devin will not last long against Ramirez.

Sinking ship?

Mosley is a good trainer, but he cannot transform Haney into a lion, magically giving him power that does not exist or fix his dainty, glass chin to support him withstand the blows with which Ramirez will hit him.

It is possible that Mosley is only the latest captain of the drowning ship Devin and cannot direct him from the storm that is coming to him on May 2. Haney may as well leave his dad, Bill Haney, at the forefront, trying to navigate with Pilothouse through a hurricane. If he loses, it will be compelling to hear what Bill will come up with.

Haney has several things that they have against him in this fight with Ramirez. He was inactive from a solid year and a bad loss. Being inactive may not be a great matter, if all this with which Devin had to deal with, but the fact that four separate was injured in their defeat from Kingra. The accumulated beating that Haney took can make it susceptible to ramirez’s impacts.

“Was [still] Unbeatable in the ring, “said Bill Haney Cigar conversationEnjoying the erasing of Devin Haney’s loss, and he is now still undefeated, who is heading in the match with Jose Ramirez within 15 days at May 2 at Times Square, Fresh York.

Floyd Schofield Jr. He says that he has never received any money offer to fight the slight pretender Abdullah Mason on the card on June 7 at ESPN. Schofield states that Mason’s team only asked him if he wanted to fight him and he said yes. There was no attempt to start negotiations.

Promotional chess?

Floyd sr. He believes that there has never been any real interest in the band Abdullah Mason in the fight against Schofield Jr. In other words, it’s just a theater. Mason was going to fight someone unsafe, such as Schofield.

It was more about promoting Mason, associating his name with Schofield’s and giving the impression that he tried to challenge him. It works well and attracts Mason’s attention from fans and media that he would not usually get because he is not promoted.

Schofield Jr. (18-0, 12 KO) says he thinks it is strange that Mason’s management sent an offer, and then went and fought someone else. The opponent is 35-year-old Jeremiah Nakathila, whose Mason will fight on the Keyshawn Davis vs. Edwin de los Santos on June 7 at the Scope arena, Norfolk, Virginia.

“We did not receive a contract with the offer. So we can ask for everything we want – said Floyd Schofield Sr. Millcity boxing About the fact that they have never received a contract offer to fight Abdullah Mason on June 7.

“This is not a form of evasion, asking what you want to get to the ring. Rating price? We didn’t receive an offer [from Mason’s promoter]. If we say, “Give us $ 2 million and we will take a fight”, people will say: “You shouldn’t get $ 2 million.” Why? The promoter did not say. We have not received any opinions yet. “

When there is never attempt to negotiate, it is a red flag that there was no real interest in the Mason promotional team in the operate of Schofield as an opponent. If they wanted Floyd Jr, they could get him. It would be too substantial a step in the class for Mason from smaller guys he fought with. He already shows problems with the chin. Placing it with a powerful blow, such as Schofield, would be a bad idea.

No offer, just ask

“This is not steep. We didn’t get anything for excessive price. We didn’t even receive an official offer. We just got the question. If they think it’s screams, they are screaming. We’ve never repealed and we’ll never do it” – said Schofield SR.

Who knows why the highest ranks didn’t try to negotiate with Schofield? Did they just operate his name so that Nakathlia would lower its price in negotiations? You never know. The fight against Schofield would assist in Mason’s career much more than the fight against Nakithilia, which was knocked out twice in 2023.

“I think it’s strange that they sent us an offer and then fight with someone else, but it is them,” said Floyd Jr., who thinks it is strange that there was no money offer from Mason promoters to fight. There was no attempt to negotiate. “It really wasn’t [any offer or attempt to negotiate from Mason’s side]. It was just a word. They just said if we would like to fight him. That’s all.

“I said,” fight. ” I get Spark Mason and fight Shakur Next or Keyshawn.

“As I told my father.” We don’t need 2.5. Take a million. Take 1.1. Whatever they offer. It doesn’t matter. ” Let me do what I do to him and then we go further, “said Floyd Jr.
