Jake Paul made a head-scratching comparison between his upcoming boxing return and Paddy Pimblett’s win over Michael Chandler.
Controversial boxing star Jake Paul‘s latest claims about his upcoming return to the ring are turning heads.
Paul is ready to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., the son of a boxing icon, on June twenty eighth in Anaheim. He returns for the primary time since defeating heavyweight boxing legend, Mike Tyson, in November by unanimous decision.
While Chavez is a former world champion with a 54-6-1 skilled record, many imagine he’s well past his physical prime for the Paul matchup. Chavez hasn’t competed since a win over former UFC middleweight contender Uriah Hall last July.
Since Paul and Most Worthwhile Promotions announced the polarizing boxer’s next fight, the matchup has drawn mixed reactions from most people. In response, Paul compared his upcoming fight to Paddy Pimblett‘s dominant win over Michael Chandler at UFC 314.
Jake Paul blasted for questionable claims about upcoming boxing return
In a recent video posted to the Most Worthwhile Promotions social media accounts, Paul hit back at his detractors.
“Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a former world champion, a cruiserweight world champion,” Paul said. “The identical weight as me, the identical size as me, and 20 years more pro boxing experience than me. For you inbreds, let’s get the reasons out of the way in which.
“Last week, Paddy Pimblett beat Michael Chandler, and the entire world lost their mind, but not a single person mentioned Michael Chandler’s age. That’s because he’s still inside his prime ages, the identical age as Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
“If people didn’t have an issue with Paddy, then why have they got an issue with me? After I beat him, don’t even attempt to cry about his age.” (h/t MMA Fighting)
It didn’t take long for fight fans to roast Paul’s claims within the comments.
“Nobody cares about Jake Paul. He’s fading out,” one fan responded.
“But he hasn’t been within the ring for awhile and is way older than u? In the event you want credit soo d— bad why didn’t u rematch Tommy Fury? Same age as you,” one other said.
“‘Former’ is the important thing word here…enough said.”
“We cooked this man into making a 40 minutes video.”
“When you will have to make a video convincing people he’s fighter……”
“Looks like there is likely to be trouble selling the fight.”
“Once you gone fight anyone that’s of their prime? An actual boxer!??”
“You mostly have to put up a full debate case for every of ur opponents.”
Paul’s strength of boxing opponents has irked many fans during his profession. During his 11-1 tenure within the ring, he’s defeated former UFC stars Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz, and a number of other other names with little boxing experience.
Jake Paul fact checked after bizarre Canelo Alvarez jab
Chavez gave Canelo Alvarez a formidable challenge earlier of their boxing careers, with Alvarez walking away with a unanimous decision victory. In a recent social media post announcing the fight, Paul blasted Alvarez for allegedly failing to beat Chavez in dominant fashion.
The issue? Alvarez won the fight on the judges’ scorecards by a substantial margin, forcing X‘s community notes feature to fact check Paul.
Chavez picked the Paul fight over a clash with one in every of his opponent’s YouTube boxing rivals, KSI. KSI was alleged to face controversial combat sports star Dillon Danis in a boxing match earlier this 12 months before withdrawing resulting from an illness, and has since hinted at retirement.
Before the Chavez fight announcement, Paul was briefly in talks to face Anthony Joshua within the ring, despite a major size difference. Fight talks with Alvarez were in the ultimate stages before Riyadh Season and Turki Alalshikh signed Alvarez to a mega deal.
