In an exciting announcement on April 18, YouTube superstar turned professional boxer Jake Paul confirmed his upcoming bout against former WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. The fight is slated to take place on June 28 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Paul took to social media to express enthusiasm for the matchup, stating, \”Five years ago, I stepped into the ring for my pro debut after one amateur fight, and every fight since has been a step towards becoming world champion.
