These days, the hottest topic in the fight fraternity is, who will Jake Paul take on in his next boxing outing. Last weekend, the YouTuber turned boxer hammered Tyron Woodley via a KO to shake the fight fraternity. With this win, Paul made a huge statement, and since then, he seems hungry to take on a pro-boxer.

Talking about pro-boxer, one name that tops the list of Jake Paul’s potential opponents is Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Recently, the Mexican fighter was in a chat with TV Boxeo. Here, he shed some light on a prospective fight with ‘The Problem Child’ and more.

He said, “I can only talk about myself, not about other people, I am not here to criticise anyone. I talk by analysing boxing. I hope I can get a few million with Jake Paul. If he beats me, I’ll retire, I don’t get paid. I don’t want money if I don’t beat him. Retirement – not interested in his money if I do not win,”

“[The Pauls] generate a lot of expectations and money, a match with me would be good. They haven’t learned how to fight well and I can take advantage of that. Jake Paul can punch, but he’s not a boxer.” (h/t DAZN News)

A few days back, it was reported that Jake Paul asked his manager, Nakisa Bidarian, to set up a fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
