Anaheim, California-Jake Paul won his greatest victory with an experienced opponent, passing by the former medium scale master Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. With a unanimous decision in a 10-round fight in Krążowarska.
Paul (12-1, 7 KO) explained his intentions to become the world champion, and his victory over Chavez pushed him closer to his dreams. However, Paul is still relatively inexperienced, and only one fight as an amateur, and his victory against Chavez is only 13. His professional career. The scope is also the level of competition he met. His career spent in the face of former MMA fighters, two boxing journeymen, a friend YouTuber, a retired NBA player and almost 60-year-old heavyweight master in Mike Tyson.
Chavez is experienced, but he has long been longer and tried to keep his activity and competition. Nevertheless, Paul won the biggest win in his career and demonstrated several novel wrinkles for the game, which has an enhance since the lonely defeat from Tommy Fury in 2023.
If Paul wants to fight for the title of cruisher’s champion, his options are the WBC Badou Jack champion, Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez, who defended WBA and WBO belts in the co–Maan event and Jai Otetaia, the title holder of the IBF title. Both WBA and WBC suggested that Paweł’s impressive performance could see him in the ranking of sanctioning organs, while IBF and WBO there was no word.
“I don’t care, ancient,” said Paul during an interview after the fight. “I am a lot of time. I am 28 years ancient. I will fight with every time.”
Given the circumstances, what is realistically next to Paweł and who is the best chance?
1. Badou Jack
Jack maintained the title of WBC since February 2023, when he detained the macabus, but in May he only made one defense – against Noel Mikaelian. The timeline can match Paul until the end of 2025 and although Jack is 41 years ancient, it remains a hazardous option because of his experience. Of all the Jack masters, it would be the most realistic option for Paul. As for the challenge, it would be a huge step for Paul, but he would have an advantage and seemed to acclimatize the size of other cruisers. This does not mean that Jack is a “easiest” opponent, but he is the most likely option if Paul hopes to win the title of world champion.
2. Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez
34-year-old Ramirez won on Saturday a complex decision about the former Master Yuniel Dorticos and is undefeated in the circuitous weight. Although it was not his most impressive performance, “Zurdo” faced the former hardly striking champion and broke off slow. Do not be fooled by the leisurely start and the average performance of Ramirez. It is incredibly qualified, with the possibility of creating blows and effectively neutralizing the opponent with his guard. Considering that WBA is interested in the Paul ranking, Ramirez is an option for the former YouTuber. Ramirez seems to be more interested in unification from Opetoi than in the face of Paul, and it seems that this is the most likely route, despite the fact that they both conducted an improvised press conference. Ramirez has a size and experience on his side against the younger Paweł, who would probably be a significant weaker. But WBA made dubious decisions in the past, so it would not be too surprising if the fight against Paweł was ordered.
3. Jai ota
The 29 -year -old OPTETAI is a class of the weight ward in the circuitous weight. Has speed and power on its side. It is a violent blow that enters its first years and at that moment a nightmare duel for Paul. IBF did not express interest in Paweł’s ranking, so this is the most unlikely of the potential fights for the championship for Paweł. It is also the oldest challenge, and Paul would need much more spices in the ring before he takes on the challenge. Opetsaia is not so popular among the American audience, so the risk of versus reward may not be worth it yet for Paul.
Most likely the next opponent: Tommy Fury
Rematch with fury-in-fighting without title-is a more realistic option for Paweł, who has improved through jumps and borders since the last fight. Time is appropriate for the loss to be multiplied. Paula’s team routinely stated that the starting price of the Fury was too high for the rematch, but Fury’s options are far between this point of his career. The fight would be a significant draw with a robust history. As long as both sides can come to terms, it is the right fight to do if Paweł cannot secure the fight with the world champion.
