Jake Paul uses Paddy Pimblett’s recent win to defend his fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr

Jake Paul has used Paddy Pimblett‘s win over Michael Chandler as a comparison for those who have criticised his upcoming showdown with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

On June 28, Jake Paul will make his long-awaited return to the boxing ring. When he does, he will square off with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr – a boxer who many believe was never really able to live up to the hype in his career. Despite that, he’s still enjoyed a string of big paydays in his career, most notably against Canelo Alvarez.

Across his last few fights, Chavez Jr has entered the ‘alternative’ boxing space with fights against the likes of MMA fighters Anderson Silva and Uriah Hall.
