Jake Paul Seeks New Challenges After Victory Against Chávez Jr.
Jake Paul, after securing a significant victory against former WBC middleweight world champion Julio César Chávez Jr., is seeking new challenges in the boxing world. Paul, with a record of 12 wins and 1 loss, has expressed his intention to become a world champion, and his recent triumph brings him closer to that goal. Despite his recent success, Paul still has little experience in professional boxing. His career includes fights against former MMA fighters, experienced boxers, a YouTuber, and a former NBA player. The victory against Chávez Jr. represents an important milestone in his career, demonstrating his growth since his only defeat against Tommy Fury in 2023. Now, with his sights set on a cruiserweight world title, Paul has several options. These include Badou Jack, WBC champion; Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez, holder of the WBA and WBO belts; and Jai Opetaia, IBF champion.I don’t care, bro. I have a lot of time. I’m 28 years old. I’ll fight anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Possible Upcoming Opponents for Jake Paul
- Badou Jack: WBC champion since February 2023. Although Jack is 41 years old, his experience makes him a dangerous opponent. A match with Paul could take place at the end of 2025.
- Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez: After defeating Yuniel Dorticos, Ramírez, 34, remains undefeated in cruiserweight. The WBA could consider ranking Paul, which would open the door to a possible fight. However, Ramírez might be more interested in a unification with Opetaia.
- Jai Opetaia: The 29-year-old IBF champion represents the biggest challenge for Paul. The IBF has not shown interest in ranking Paul, making this fight less likely. Opetaia, with his speed and power, would be a very complicated opponent.
