The social media star is back in action on Saturday night in California
The Jake Paul boxing experiment continues rolling on Saturday when the social media star-turned-fighter faces former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The fight with Chavez marks Paul's second consecutive bout against a former world champion, following his November win over 58-year-old Mike Tyson.
While Chavez is not 58 years old -- he is merely 39 -- he is more than a decade removed from his time as a relevant top-tier boxer. Even at his peak, Chavez was never close to living up to the legacy of his father's incredible career and was often bogged down in controversy and plagued by self-inflicted issues.
"No, I don't think he's good. I think he tries, he trains hard, but he's not a good fighter," Chavez Jr. said at the final press conference. "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."
