Casual fans as well as ardent boxing lovers wish to see Paul take on a pro-boxer from hereon. Also, ‘The Problem Child’ shares the akin notion and he also has an opponent in mind.

Speaking to Stephen Smith on ESPN, he said, “Just because someone’s a professional boxer doesn’t mean like. I’m taking on all these guys. I’m trying to fight Jacob. What is his name? Jacob Chavez, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. I don’t know his name. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the one with the good dad.”

Chavez Jr.’s name didn’t pop into Jake Paul‘s list just for this interview. In fact, he expressed his notions about fighting the Mexican boxer a few days after his win over Tyron Woodley. ‘The Problem Child’ also asked his manager, Nakisa Bidarian, to set up a fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
