In the co-main event, Gilberto Ramirez will face Yuniel Dorticos, a high-stakes Cruiserweight title fight where Ramirez defends his unified WBA and WBO Cruiserweight belts against a formidable former champion, potentially paving the way for a blockbuster unification bout with IBF titleholder, Jai Opetaia (or “El Gallo”), while Dorticos aims to reclaim world champion status and upset Ramirez’s path to undisputed glory. Jake Paul continues his boxing career, as the YouTuber faces a legitimate challenge in Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 28. The fight in California airs on DAZN.dsgdsgdfgdf A disrupter, Paul (11-1) has fought boxers, MMA fighters, and former basketball stars. His last fight was against 58-year-old Mike Tyson, which brought in record viewing numbers. "The Problem Child" lost against rival Tommy Fury but is now on a five-fight win streak. If Paul wins, he could be ranked at cruiserweight, making him one step closer to his promise of becoming a world champion. That is part of the reason he's testing himself against a former world champion, regardless of Chavez's recent status in the sport. "He's a great fighter. I like big names, legendary names, and he's on my path to a world championship," Paul said. "This is a tough test, a very tough test, but I'm here to challenge myself and do big things in this sport and then make a title run after I beat him on Saturday." Jake Paul will be back in the ring on Saturday night looking to add former WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez to his list of vanquished foes. Paul will be making his first appearance since his unanimous decision victory over Mike Tyson in November. Chávez also happened to fight on the undercard of that bout, taking a unanimous six-round decision over former UFC fighter Uriah Hall. It's another bit of strategic matchmaking for Paul. Chávez has a famous name in boxing as the son of a hall of famer and credibility of his own as a former world champion. We're now 13 years removed from his days as a champion, though. We'll see if he has enough juice left to push Paul and derail his quest for credibility. Chavez (54-6-1) has gone 4-3 since losing against Canelo Alvarez in 2017. The former WBC middleweight champion (2011) last fought in July, his first in three years. The 39-year-old recently participated in a residential treatment program after being arrested on felony gun possession charges. Despite recent setbacks, the son of the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez is ready to prove he's no stepping stone for anyone. "No, I don't think he's good. I think he tries, he trains hard, but he's not a good fighter," Chavez said. "He's definitely not a good boxer. If he were a good boxer, then everyone else on this stage would be a legend. I don't think he's a good boxer, and everybody knows that." Sporting News will provide results from the entire Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fight card.
