Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. maintained a professional demeanor during their initial face-to-face encounter on Wednesday. The two are set to box on June 28 in Anaheim, California.
While some sharp words were exchanged on stage, the tension didn`t escalate significantly during the subsequent traditional staredown.
Instead of physical confrontation, Paul and Chavez Jr. quietly assessed each other. They will compete in a cruiserweight contest airing live on DAZN pay-per-view.
Though Chavez Jr.`s prime championship days may be behind him, he represents the most seasoned boxing opponent Paul has faced so far.
With a pro record of 11-1, Paul holds notable victories over fighters like Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz, and Anderson Silva. However, Chavez Jr. marks a significant step up in class, possessing genuine professional boxing experience.
The Paul vs. Chavez Jr. fight will headline the card. Former UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm was recently added, returning to boxing under Paul`s Most Valuable Promotions banner.
