Getty ImagesJake Paul squares off with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 28 in Anaheim, California. Paul comes into the fight with an 11-1 record. During his brief but eventful professional boxing career, Paul has scored seven wins by KO.
The “Problem Child” has made no bones about it. He wants to make Chavez his eighth victim. In case you need a refresher, here’s a look back at all seven of Paul’s career KOs.
No matter how you feel about Paul, it’s impossible to watch this journey and not see his growth.
- July 20, 2024
- Result: 6th-round TKO
- Details: Initially, this date was set for Paul to face Mike Tyson. However, Perry stepped up to take Tyson’s place. Perry’s boxing skills were far too rudimentary for Paul and he was stopped in the sixth round.

Getty ImagesChavez is a former world champion. The 39-year-old is far removed from his glory days as a fighter. The second-generation fighter was once a middleweight champion, and he still holds a respectable professional record of 54-6-1 with 34 KOs.
Chavez Jr. hasn’t competed seriously since 2019, and he’s fought just once since 2021. In July 2024, Chavez defeated former UFC fighter Uriah Hall via unanimous decision in a six-round fight.
Despite Chavez’s lineage and experience, he is a shadow of what he was during his time as a world champion. That said, he is still far and away the most accomplished boxer Paul has faced in his career. While much older, he’s even more experienced than Tommy Fury, the only man to defeat Paul.
Will Chavez’s skill be enough to test Paul more than he’s been tested in the past? Even more, could Chavez Jr. actually hand Paul his second loss?
I’ll definitely be watching to find out. Be on the lookout for fight week coverage including post-fight results and reaction.
