In November 2024, Julio César Chávez's son revealed that there is nothing concrete regarding a possible fight with Jake Paul, but they are evaluating the possibility of it happening. For his part, boxer Jake Paul responded to the challenge issued by the Mexican, calling him an easy opponent to beat and expressing his desire to face someone stronger for a true challenge in the ring.
In a 2024 interview with Boxing Scene, Jake Paul mentioned: "I want a real belt, not something that's just showcased for entertainment. It's not something I am looking for, it's something that has come up. It's cool and all that, but, honestly, it's an easy fighter and I want someone tougher to silence the people."
Julio César Chávez addressed the topic of a possible fight between his son, Julio César Chávez Jr., and Jake Paul after being asked about his opinion on the American boxer. Chávez, who retired in 2005 after a distinguished boxing career, expressed his discontent with Jake Paul's fight against Mike Tyson, labeling the influencer by saying that “Jake Paul is useless, I don’t know why people pay to see that jerk, I don’t like it at all."
Julio César Chávez Jr. previously challenged Jake Paul to a fight, stating that he wants to face the best in the ring and questioning the quality of his current opponents. So far, it has not been confirmed whether the fight between Julio César Chávez Jr. and Jake Paul will materialize, but the statements and challenges have generated interest in the boxing world.
