Jake Paul boxing tonight: TV channel, live stream, UK start time and fight card
Jake Paul returns to the ring tonight against son-of-a-legend Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in what could be the YouTuber's toughest fight yet
Jake Paul takes on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr tonight - and victory could land him a world title shot.
Paul has built up his record mainly by taking on retired MMA fighters and YouTube stars but in Chavez Jr he faces a former world champion. And victory will likely see Paul ranked by at least one governing body, allowing them to hand him a shot at their cruiserweight champion.
But Chavez Jr will be looking to avoid what he would see as an embarrassing defeat by the social media star. He has fought just once in the last four years - labouring to a points win over former UFC star Uriah Hall. Here is everything you need to know about tonight's fight, including the start time and how to watch...

Full fight card, undercard and UK start times
Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr - 4.30am
Jake Paul, who boldly and perhaps absurdly claims to be the face of boxing, will need to stylishly defeat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr to validate his audacious claim. It's been over two years since Paul faced a 'genuine' boxer, Tommy Fury, and he now faces a significant step up from 58 year old Mike Tyson, whom he outscored last November. However, Chavez Jr has been largely inactive, having fought only once in the past four years, scraping a victory over ex-UFC star Uriah Hall.
Gilberto Ramirez vs Yuniel Dorticos - 3.30am
If both men triumph in their respective bouts tonight, Gilberto Ramirez could be the one to give Jake Paul his dream world title shot. Before Paul steps into the ring against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Ramirez will defend his cruiserweight world title against Yuniel Dorticos, a former champion himself. Having won three consecutive fights after his sole career loss to Dmitry Bivol, Ramirez is the favourite for tonight's match.
Floyd Schofield vs Tevin Farmer - 2.30am
Floyd Schofield was scheduled to fight Shakur Stevenson earlier this year but withdrew during fight week due to illness. Instead, he'll face veteran Tevin Farmer tonight, aiming to put on a spectacular performance to secure another high-profile bout. Schofield risks his undefeated record against Farmer, who has lost his last three fights and is eager to make a stylish comeback.
Avious Griffin vs Julian Rodriguez - 1.45am
With just one defeat in 40 fights between them, there's a lot at stake tonight. Avious Griffin remains undefeated in his career, having won all 17 of his bouts and knocked out all but one of his opponents. Julian Rodriguez, who has only fought three times since his loss to Jose Pedraza in 2021, needs a win tonight to reignite his career.
Raul Curiel vs Victor Ezequiel Rodriguez - 1am
Two unbeaten fighters start the pay-per-view segment of the fight card, with both men winning all but one of their fights - the other being a draw. Raul Curiel was held to a draw in his last bout just before Christmas, while Victor Ezequiel Rodriguez has claimed four victories since his sole setback in 2023.
Holly Holm vs Yolanda Guadalupe Vega Ochoa Victor Morales vs Rene Alvarado Joel Iriarte vs Kevin Johnson Joshua Edwards vs Dominicc Hardy John Ramirez vs Joahnys Argilagos Alexander Gueche vs Vincent Avina
Quotes corner
Jake Paul:"He's a great fighter. I like big names, legendary names, and he's on my path to a world championship. This is a tough test, a very tough test, but I'm here to challenge myself and do big things in this sport and then make a title run after I beat him. He's coming in prepared. They're saying this is the hardest he's ever trained, and he's right…I'm not a good boxer. I'm a great boxer."
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr:"I don't think he's good. I think he tries, he trains hard, but he's not a good fighter. He's definitely not a good boxer. If he were a good boxer, then everyone else on this stage would be a legend. I don't think he's a good boxer, and everybody knows that. My preparation, I always prepare to take a win. I'm here to win and that's why I'm so confident that I will win."

Major Lawrence Shankland update as Hearts jet out to Spain for pre-season training camp
HEARTS are jetting off to Spain this morning for their pre-season training camp WITHOUT striker Lawrence Shankland. Jambos boss Derek McInnes had hoped to persuade him to commit to the Tynecastle club in a further round of talks this week. Advertisement 2 Lawrence Shankland is a key Hearts transfer target Credit: Alamy 2 Derek McInnes and his squad jet out to Spain today Credit: Shutterstock Editorial And he made it clear he wanted him to join his players on their summer trip. But Del's discussions have failed to reach a positive outcome and further doubt over Shankland's future at Hearts has now grown. The 29-year-old is out of contract so free to move elsewhere and has options in both England and abroad. McInnes has been reluctant to put a timescale on when he needs the Scotland striker to make his mind up - but has warned he won't wait much longer. Advertisement He remains convinced staying put is Shankland's best option and has made several pleas to the ex-Dundee United and Aberdeen forward in an attempt to secure him for next season. But with the Jambos players flying to Spain early this morning without Shankland as part of the party, the chances of him signing a new deal appear to be plummeting. McInnes has already added striker Claudio Braga in this window, with Elton Kabangu's loan from USG made permanent. While the door on Shankland is unlikely to be closed completely on the back of his decision to stay put in Scotland, the Jambos are ready to crank up their search for his replacement in the coming days. Advertisement The striker was last sighted undergoing some additional pre-pre-season training in Dubai in the company of none other than Rangers captain James Tavernier. He's had a busy summer already, after tying the knot with his new wife Nicole at a plush Scottish wedding venue at the end of last month. Rangers transfer special including Coady latest, why Turgeman move could be off & why Shankland's a no-brainer He's also been linked with a move to West Brom in England. Links between him and Rangers have gone cold recently with a new broom at Ibrox since the Andrew Cavenagh/49ers Enterprises takeover, but the sight of Shankland training with Tavernier made many Gers fans curious enough at least to see if something could still happen on the transfer front.

Woman warns of 'dark side' to cruises after ditching husband to live at sea
Sick of her normal life and craving the glitz and glamour she thought a cruise ship could offer, Lynelle, "left a toxic marriage" and "quit a toxic job". She also sold her house to ditch dry land and take to the high seas for good. With just a suitcase and a backpack in her possession, she now travels the world on various large ocean liners. However, Lynelle Lee, who retired at 53 to embark on her new journey, wants to warn anyone considering doing the same that the life changing decision has its downsides and there's a darker side to life onboard. She shares her adventures on social media where one particular video reveals the often uncomfortable truth about her new world. In an episode on her You Tube channel Poverty to Paradise, she begins by pointing out that the rooms she resides in these days are far from spacious. "Take your current bedroom, cut it in half, now squeeze a queen-sized bed, a couple of nightstands and everything you need to live into that half of a bedroom, that's what your cabin is going to look like," she warned, adding that the bathrooms are also tiny. While showing an extremely compact shower cubicle wedged up next to a wash basin and toilet, she says to imagine an airplane toilet to get more of an idea. "Yeah, a lot of people have talked about how they have to parallel park when getting into the shower," she laughs as she describes the effort it takes to manoeuvre in the minuscule area. "That space can definitely make you rethink living on a cruise ship alright," she says. Lynelle also warns anyone sensitive to noise that it's not the place for them thanks to the "paper thin" cabin walls. Revealing that she's had some awful nights in her cabin with a pillow over her head and earplugs in because of the noises coming from other rooms, she says: "I have heard so many things while in my cabin that were disturbing to me." As well as snoring, arguments and TV's blaring Lynelle confirmed what you were no doubt already thinking - that she's forced to listen to the "extracurricular activities" of her fellow guests in their cabins. If being forced to listen to the excitable exploits of others wasn't bad enough, Lynelle says she's often kept up by karaoke at 2am, the sound from the shows booming out of the theatre and chairs scraping along the deck in the early hours - all of which have led to nights of "insomnia". When it comes to spending time on your own, as Lynelle, who says she's an "introvert" enjoys doing, well that too can be tricky on a cruise ship. Reading a book in a quiet corner or gazing pensively out to sea may not be possible too often. "People are going to talk to you. You're going to be on elevators, you're going to be in the dining room. Even if you get a private table, somebody's going to come and say, 'hey, how you doing?' and strike up a conversation with you," she warns. The only way to avoid "that chatty couple", she says, is to stay in your noisy room because you will see them at breakfast, lunch and dinner, in the hallways, on the deck and in the lift. "You cannot escape from them," she chuckles. It might seem like an obvious issue to consider if opting for life on a cruise ship but Lynelle says "the motion of the ocean" should be taken seriously because a lot of people get sea sick. The worst areas of the boat for feeling green tend to be at the front and back of the ship and nighttimes can also be problematic. However, Lynelle says: "If it's really bad and if there's a storm out there, forget it. You're going to feel it no matter where you're at." Another big drawback is the cost. Lynelle reckons it could set you back $100,000 (around £73.5k) or more to spend a year on a cruise ship and that's just for the basics . If you get ill, you also have to pay for healthcare. Lynelle was charged $150 (£110) just to see a doctor, before any kind of medication or treatment was administered. So anyone with health issues should definitely think twice about leaving the medical security of life on land. Other things to bear in mind apparently are the food choices, which can become "monotonous" because menus rotate on a schedule which is repeated. Keeping in contact with loved ones at home or updating your social media can be difficult too because of weak wifi, which is also costly. Crucially, Lynelle has felt the emotional cost of life onboard. As guests come and go she says it's hard to strike up lasting friendships. Although she's met plenty of wonderful people, relationships tend to be "fleeting" in nature because they leave the ship after their break. Therefore she urges anyone who needs deep, meaningful connections to think twice because they could end up feeling lonely. Despite only intending to take a 90 day cruise while she worked out what she was going to do with her life and although she is very aware of the disadvantages, Lynelle says she knows it's "perfect" for her. "I absolutely love it and the pros far outweigh the cons for me," she smiles.

Cardiff City star being eyed by 12 Championship clubs as European interest emerges
Cardiff City star being eyed by 12 Championship clubs as European interest emerges Cardiff City are facing a big turnover of players this summer Alex Robertson of Cardiff City (Image: Cardiff) Reports claim up to 12 Championship clubs are keeping tabs on Cardiff City's Alex Robertson this summer. The midfielder signed for the Bluebirds last year but his first season in south Wales unfortunately ended in relegation. Brian Barry-Murphy is the man now at the helm at Cardiff City Stadium and Robertson will know his new boss well, having worked with him during their respective times at Manchester City. Robertson has been putting in extra training in his native Australia, training with new Portsmouth signing Adrian Segecic. He was filmed on Joner Football's YouTube channel doing some drills. When asked by the host of the channel about his stint at Cardiff, Robertson said: "Good, really good." Robertson's future could be the subject of speculation though, with The News in Portsmouth stating that the former City starlet will have talks with Barry-Murphy this coming week. The News report that a dozen second-tier outfits are keen on the midfielder, with one of the three relegated sides from the Premier League included in that list. Former club Pompey are said to be in the mix, with European and MLS interest also cited. Article continues below Robertson still has three years left on his Cardiff contract. Join the Cardiff City breaking news and top stories WhatsApp community. Barry-Murphy is set to revamp the Bluebirds squad in the coming weeks, with the new man hoping to put his stamp on things after arriving from Leicester City. Michael Reindorf has already left for Newport County on loan, while Roko Simic is also edging towards the exit door in the Welsh capital. "My belief is the smaller the squad, within reason, the more it aligns to having a culture of improvement and players having a strong opportunity to play," Barry-Murphy said when asked about the summer window. "It allows the younger players the opportunity to grow and play. If we have too many players and they don't play then it's a contradiction to the way I see it. "So have a strong squad from the players who are here, then complement it with the players coming through from the academy and the younger ones. Article continues below "Then, adding quality then means we can be specific on what it looks like to have an elite team in this division." Players will be heading to the exit door next week. All nine out-of-contract stars will be leaving for good, while the two loan players they had last season, Will Alves and Sivert Mannsverk, have returned to their parent clubs. Four will return to the fold from their respective loan stints away - Eli King (Stevenage), Joel Colwill (Exeter City), Ryan Wintle (Millwall) and Ryotaro Tsunoda (KV Kortrijk).
