Jake Paul is scheduled to return to boxing this summer, but initial fan responses suggest a lack of enthusiasm for his chosen opponent.
It has been confirmed that Paul will face former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a cruiserweight match on June 28th at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
This fight marks Paul`s return to the ring since his notable bout with Mike Tyson in November, a major sporting event streamed on Netflix. Chavez, meanwhile, comes into this fight with two consecutive wins, including a victory by decision over former UFC middleweight Uriah Hall last July during the Paul vs. Mike Perry event.
Previously, Paul had been linked to potential fights with prominent boxers like Canelo Alvarez and Gervonta Davis. However, those rumors did not materialize, and fan reactions indicate a clear drop in excitement from those potential matchups to the Chavez Jr. fight.
The announcement of the Paul vs. Chavez Jr. fight has been met with considerable fan reaction, predominantly negative.
