Jake Paul's Path to World Title: Record Broken Ahead of Fight with Former Champ

Jake Paul is set to face former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Sunday, aiming to move closer to a world title shot in 2026. Paul, a YouTube star turned professional boxer, has already made history by setting the biggest boxing gate at the Honda Center. To secure a title shot, Paul will need to improve his record of 11-1 by facing tougher opponents like Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez or Badou Jack. Despite Chavez's past achievements, he is older and no longer at his peak. Paul aims to enter the WBA rankings with a win, as confirmed by WBA President Gilberto Mendoza. Paul is confident of defeating Chavez and making a statement in the boxing world.

Paul's brother, Logan Paul, sees this fight as an opportunity to showcase Jake's skills. The event will also feature Ramirez defending his cruiserweight titles against Yuniel Dorticos. The fight card starts at 10am AEST, with the main event expected around 2pm.
