Jake Paul and Julio César Chávez Jr. Ready for the Fight
The expected showdown between Jake Paul and Julio César Chávez Jr. is about to begin this Saturday at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Excitement grows as the moment of truth approaches for these two boxers.
Both pugilists met the official weigh-in, a crucial step before stepping into the ring for the DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) event.
Julio César Chávez Jr., known for some previous weight issues, weighed in at 198.4 pounds, setting a new personal record. This weight is 1.6 pounds below the cruiserweight limit, set at 200 pounds.
In his most recent fight against MMA fighter Uriah Hall, Chávez weighed 197¾ pounds. The former WBC middleweight champion has struggled with weight on several occasions throughout his career, including misses against Daniel Jacobs (4.7 pounds over) and Anderson Silva (2.4 pounds over). However, Chávez seems to be in the best physical shape he has shown since his time as middleweight champion, more than a decade ago.
For his part, Jake Paul registered 199.4 pounds. Paul is coming off his heavyweight fight last November against Mike Tyson, where he reached his highest weight, 227¼ pounds.
