Whether you’re here for Jake Paul’s latest challenge or the co-main event, here’s everything you need to know about the fights, timings, and more.
Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.: A High-Stakes Showdown
Jake Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) is back in the ring after a dominant win over the legendary Mike Tyson last November. It was a huge statement, especially following his loss to Tommy Fury in 2023. With a renewed focus and aspirations for a world title shot in 2026, Paul has his sights set on either Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez or Badou Jack for a cruiserweight belt.
His opponent, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (54-6-1, 34 KOs), brings a wealth of experience. The son of the iconic Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., Chavez Jr. won the WBC middleweight title in 2011 and defended it three times before losing it to Sergio Martinez in 2012. However, at 39, Chavez Jr.’s future in the sport is on the line—another loss could be the end of his career.
This bout marks Jake Paul’s second consecutive fight against a former world champion, and with his eye on future championship glory, the stakes have never been higher. Can the YouTube star continue his rise, or will the seasoned Chavez show he’s still got what it takes?

Co-Feature: Gilberto Ramirez vs. Yuniel Dorticos – Cruiserweight Championship
In the co-main event, Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (47-1, 30 KOs) is set to defend his WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles against former two-time world champion Yuniel Dorticos (27-2, 25 KOs). Ramirez recently unified the belts by defeating Chris Billam-Smith last November and is now looking to solidify his position at the top of the cruiserweight division.
Dorticos, a feared knockout artist, is no stranger to the big stage and will look to prove he’s still a force in the division. This is a must-watch for any boxing fan, as both fighters bring power and skill to the table.
