Jake Paul sat near two championship belts and a cruiserweight champion during a news conference Wednesday in Hollywood.
It could be a sign that he’s trying to line up a title fight with Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez, the owner of the belts and the WBO and WBA world cruiserweight champion.
“I'm ready now,’’ Paul said.
But first up: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., the son of legendary fighter Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. and a former middleweight champion whom Paul will fight June 28. They’ll face off in a 10-round cruiserweight bout at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
