As Jake Paul prepares for her Pay Par-Vyu Return on Saturday Against former Middleweight Champion-and Mexican icon’s son-Julio Cesar Chavez Junior, YouTube sensation viral pagilist said he already knows what will happen in the morning-old reaction to the world of boxing on Sunday.

Paul told CBS Sports last week, “They are going to make an excuse for (fight) and maligned me and my opponent.” “Specific and standard they say in general: ‘It was fake,’ or ‘she took a dive’ or ‘he was on steroids.’ Of course, the leading in this, they say that this is a good fight and I am going to lose but always excuse the next day. “

The problem for Paul, a 28 -year -old native of Ohio, who goes by the monikar of the “problem child”, which he has received from the mainstream boxing, in this case, will really be valid.

Despite having just five years in his supporter career, Paul (11–1, 7 kos) enters his 13th supporter as a 7-to-1 betting favorite, when he welcomes Chavez (54-6-1, 34 kos) for a 10-round cruiserweight bout (Dazn PPV, 8 PM ET , Buy now) Inside the Honda Center in Anahem, California.

On paper, selection of Chavez is perfect for a stack of criticism. Paul often takes his matchmaking from those who often say, “When will you take a real boxer?” This is followed by a large -scale retired MMA stars and a variety of part -time boxers and the affected after the latter (not to mention 60 -year -old Mike Tyson in the blockbuster of the final fall on Netflix).

For those who really know boxing, however, it is clear that the 39 -year -old Chavez is a difficult challenge when the 23 -year -old Pro has spent a lot of the missing weight of the last 13 years, misusing drugs and whenever he fights against legitimate names, he left himself.

Although Chavez once captured the world title, he did so as a weight of 160 pounds in 2011, which stopped 28–1 Andy Lee a year before the final quality victory of his career, which proceeded to claim a middle middle title of his own. Today’s Shavez has simply more red flags, as he has anything close to a legitimate boxer.

Chavez was reportedly admitted to the hospital for issues of mental health and drug abuse like last year. He also lost the decision of a shameful eight-one partition for the 46-year-old MMA Legend Anderson Silva in 2021, 16 months before Paul in his boxing match, in his boxing match.

After sitting idle for three years, Chavez returned to the ring on Mike Perry’s TKO win on Mike Perry in the ring, but the 40 -year -old 40 -year -old retired UFC veteran UFC veteran Uria Hall, who was doing boxing for the second time as a supporter in a close decision.

Paul was confronted against Chavez in 2021 before the damage to Silva, it would have been seen as a very valid battle considering the name, experience and the fact that Paul was a supporter for less than two years. But after four years, the fight keeps Paul in a very difficult position.

If he wins, it is expected. But if he loses or a motivated and shave in size pushes him to the brink in a close battle, he will be ruthlessly infamous. And this is because that is-to not mention the head-scratching decision of the Paul and on the same night the same night the UFC’s annual international battle week PPV to staging the fight as PPV is not interested in this matchup for their most valuable promotion-promotion-boxing fans or “Jake Paul boxing experience” generally generally.

Some of these directly belong to the result of the Tyson fight, which was presented as a fully accepted battle, yet played as a poor sparing match because Paul clearly took a middle-aged fighter to a middle-aged fighter at eight-guards. But the customer related to Paul’s quarrel is also fatigue, in general, elite skills, lack of enthusiasm and the fact that Paul has usually conducted important (if not inappropriate) in most of his quarrels.

Paul faced only the time when someone was considered a “real boxer” before Shavez, when he faced his loan pro necklace at the 2023 Split-Property Loss, the younger brother of former Heavyweight Tyson Fury, which was seen on a large scale compared to a pure future boxing champion. (Paul also fought a pair of cruiserweight, who traveled passive at the end of 2023, but neither excluded it from the first round or provided any meaningful opposition.)

This does not mean that Paul cannot box or he does not take the game seriously. They have received regular respects, even from their inhibitors, both. But being the best celebrity boxer in the world, it is completely different than to say that your goal is to capture a world title, which Paul regularly said that he is closing.

Of course, Paul has always been in a unique place as a boxer. He was leading his own PPV in his third supporter battle and is not wrong when he regularly compares himself to other fighters, who were competing with TV at the same point in his career, both played a double role of competition without pressure to carry an entire program or in a big quarrel, which you are also the main promoters.

It is just that the public is tired of the Kennalo Alverez and Anthony Joshua (none of whom probably accepted their proposal to cash themselves) as Paul’s name is tired by Paul’s name, only to fight an aging for him, to fight the inferior rival in the matchup, which fails to live for a lot of buzz and crossover virality.

Everything says about Paul how close he is to compete for a legitimate cruiserweight title, he will exclude ideas for a quarrel of mismatched exhibition as quickly, such as he is close to the 135-Pound Champion Geront “tank” Davis (who maintains Paul earlier this year, is still close to 2025).

However, for Paul’s decision to co-convey this week’s card with Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy later this weekend, causing cruiserweight tightlyholder Gilberto “Jardo” Ramirez is being linked to a co-intended program in defense of a title against former champion Unier Dorticos, Paul has stepped into an actual battle. Paul has publicly stated that a future fight between him is possible, this is the exact reason that the Ramirez is on the card.

In any way, it is difficult to question the positive impact that Paul has made on the game since its disruptive start. Not only has he been responsible for presenting a fresh and young audience for boxing, he has already contributed a even greater contribution as a promoter by cornering the late market to sign a late market and entering a new era to boxing on the huge streaming platforms of Netflix (where she is a trillor between the trillogy between the trillion and the trillogy. And will promote Imanda.

“I have always said that I think I will make more impact inside the ring outside the ring as a promoter inside the ring, and I am just doing with my partnership with USA boxing,” said Paul. “We have a group of exciting announcements that are building gym around the world. And the promotional side of signing fighters for the next generation, women fighters with all the big names. We are just getting hot.

“In the long run, I probably as a promoter larger (and will be better missed in boxing).”

Meanwhile, Paul will continue to walk out for his fighting career remains. But forgive the Combat Sports Fans, to not be all what their fight against Chavez would really look like.

Ever since Paul arrived in boxing, he has talked about a big game. But it is about the previous time for him to prove his doubt wrong, stepping against someone’s level of age, size and capacity to find out how good he can be really.
