Jake Paul faces the biggest test of his boxing career as he prepares to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Paul has disrupted the world of boxing for the best part of five years now, and has gone on to face the likes of Tommy Fury and former UFC star Anderson Silva.
His most recent bout saw him claim a win against a 58-year-old Mike Tyson despite controversy around the fight being sanctioned as a professional contest.
This time will be a different kettle of fish, however, with Chavez Jr a former WBC Middleweight Champion.
Even though this will be the second time in four years he has fought, the Mexican will be a cut above any fights the ‘Problem Child’ has had in the past.

Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr predictions
There have been plenty of contrasting thoughts about how this fight could go.
Roy Jones Jr believes that Paul has the advantage, telling BigFightWeekend: “I think Jake should probably take him out, mainly because Jake beat Anderson Silva. And Silva beat Chavez. Sometimes it’s a triangle, sometimes it goes like that.
“But from what I’m seeing right now, I think Jake beats him because Jake’s bigger, Jake’s used to fighting more at that weight, and I think Jake just has more vigor right now, and will want to win more than Chavez does.”
Meanwhile, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez has backed his Mexican counterpart to take home the win.
“I hope [he beats Jake Paul]. I am obviously supporting Julio Cesar Chavez Jr,” he said to FightHub TV.
“I hope he wins, prepares himself really well, take it seriously, and I am with him.”
