Jake Paul will crossweight Julio Cesar Chavez jr. Live on dazn PPV on Saturday, June 28 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. In the main support, Gilberto Ramirez will defend his WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles against Yuniel Dorticos.
Paul (11-1, 7 costs) will see what former WBC middleweight champion Chavez jr. (54-6-1, 34 CO’s) after 23 years in the pro ranks. Chavez jr. (29) has been good lately and won his last two battles against non-household names. Julio jr. Made a return last year after being inactive for three years and looked impressive, and Uriah Hall beat a unanimous decision of six round on July 20, 2024.
Former IBF and WBA Cruiserweight champion Dorticos (27-2, 25 COs) worked his way to the WBA-sheltered place by winning his last three fights. The Cuba-born Dorticos does not yet have young at 39, and still has a lot of power and technical skills that ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez problems can give.
The two guys who lost Dorticos in his career, Mairis Briedis and Murat Gasiev, were big punchers. They had the kind of power that made Dorticos careful to wage war with them. Ramirez (47-1, 30 doesn’t hit like one of the guys. So there is a possibility that Dorticos may win if he doesn’t make it disappear.
Ramirez, 33, has found out again since he came up to the Cruiserweight division in 2023. He has won three fights since he went up, defeating Joe Smith Jr., Arsen Goulamirian, and Chris Billiam-Smith. Zurdo’s last battle against Billiam-Smith last year, on November 16 in Riyadh, was a punishment for him. He took very heavy push from the British fighter and was forced to change at corners to win a unanimous 12 round decision.
I’m going against a former champion that Conman Canelo couldn’t finish, ‘says Jake Paul.’ Chávez jr. Is Mexican, but I, El Gallo de Dorado, have the will and heart of the great Mexican fighters. On Saturday, June 28, Live on dazn Pay-per-view, I will knock Julio out and Chávez Sr. Proud makes of ways that Jr. Never have done. Another massive event from most valuable promotions, with some Oscar de la Hoya flavor added. Viva La Puerto Rico. “
