Julio Cesar Chavez Jr has stated that a fight between himself and Jake Paul is now in the works. Chavez Jr's last outing was against David Zegarra where he was announced the winner after 10 rounds. Chavez Jr is a former world champion and would be Jake Paul's first opponent who is a professional boxer. Jake isn't short on options with Tommy Fury still looking to get the fight that should have happened this last weekend had he not suffered an injury.
