‘Have Some F***ing Patience’: Jake Paul on Fighting Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Jake Paul ‘The Problem Child’ is still looking for potential boxing fights. His last fight ended in a stunning knockout win over former UFC Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and took him to 5-0 as a professional. While it shows he has put in the work, fans and pundits alike have always criticized Paul for fighting everyone but boxers.

As rumors around a potential fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. began growing, Jake Paul addressed them. On Boxing with Chris Mannix, he said, “I like that fight a lot because it silences the critics.”

“He was a former world champion, and I know I could beat him. That challenge excites me and I’m down… So I want to fight a real boxer, like newsflash and I’m going to, just have some f***ing patience.”

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., the son of Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., has made a good name for himself in the boxing circuit.
