Jake Paul had a decorated 2021 as he scored three captivating wins inside the squared circle. Out of all, his biggest achievement came in last month when he battled the ex-UFC elite, Tyron Woodley, in a rematch. Grabbing a shocking KO win over Woodley, Paul put himself in a spot to face any and everyone.

However, Paul has a deep interest in going against a notable pro-boxer, and one name that crossed his mind was Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. ‘The Problem Child’ even asked his manager, Nakisa Bidaran, to set up a fight with Chavez Jr.

Unfortunately, nothing concrete came in the news pertaining to the duo’s fight. But this gave many fans and purists a talking point, thus letting them pick their favorite in between Paul and Chavez Jr. Recently, Jhonny Gonzalez, a former multi-division champion, shed some light on this matchup.

Speaking to CVBJ, he said, “It is a good business [what] these YouTubers are doing who want to face boxers. But if the Chavez Jr. [fight] happens, I just hope that Julio prepares well because if he loses to Paul then he had better retire from boxing,” (h/t Boxing Scene)

Jake Paul is keen on elevating his skills to the next level. Moreover, many fans asserted upon seeing Paul against a pro-boxer. As a result, the YouTuber seemed to chase a fight with the Mexican veteran.
