Boxing tonight: Live stream, ringwalk times and fight card as Jake Paul returns
Jake Paul will return to the ring on Saturday night, seven months on from his unanimous decision win over heavyweight icon Mike Tyson, and here's how you can watch
Jake Paul returns to the ring this Saturday to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, in his first boxing bout since his controversial clash with Mike Tyson last November.
The American fighter has gone 11-1 in professional boxing since making his debut in 2020 against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib. Since then, Paul has fought a host of famous faces, including Nate Diaz, Tommy Fury, Tyron Woodley and most recently, Iron Mike.
The 28-year-old has had a mixed reaction from the boxing community throughout his short fighting career, especially due to his controversial bout with 58-year-old Tyson.
Although he won via unanimous decision, the YouTuber-turned-boxer admitted that he held back in the fight against the former undisputed heavyweight world champion. Now, Paul will face another ex-champion in the form of Chavez Jr, who is the son of boxing icon Julio Cesar Sr.
The 39-year-old boasts a 54-6-1 boxing record and held the WBC middleweight title from 2011 to 2012. Recently, Chavez Jr improved to 54 wins after a unanimous decision victory over UFC star Uriah Hall.
His last loss came in June 2021, when the boxer suffered a surprising decision loss to mixed martial arts legend Anderson Silva.
A win for Chavez Jr. would improve his record to 55 wins and see the Problem Child receive his first loss since February 2023, when Fury won via split decision in Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, a victory for Paul would grow his record to 12-1, with his reputation in the boxing community only able to improve after his heavily criticised triumph over the aging Tyson.

Paul is set to take on Chavez Jr on Saturday night at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The event will kick off at 1am UK time on Sunday morning, with the undercards to take place ahead of the big fight of the evening.
Paul and Chavez Jr's ring walks are set for 4am UK time, with the fight taking place shortly after these have concluded. However, these timings could be subject to change, as they depend on how long the undercard bouts take before the main event kicks off.

Quotes corner
Jake Paul: "I don't want any excuses. When I beat this man, all the boxing media, like you always do, are going to discredit it. I'm going to expose and embarrass him. He's the embarrassment of Mexico. Mexico doesn't even claim him, and he's going to get exposed on June 28.
"They say he's training hard. They say this is the most focused he's ever been. Good. As he should be. People don't realize how good I actually am, and when he feels those first few punches, he's going to want to quit and go back to his stool."
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr: "Jake is crazy. I think he's overrated. He hasn't fought anybody in his life. On June 28th, he's going to see what's up. To start off, he's never knocked anybody out.
"Give me one name he's knocked out, just one. It's like if I fought with my dad. It's going to be a good fight. When he was born, I was already a champ."

Rangers on brink of four transfers as Vaclav Cerny rules shift and Brighton 'sensation' secured
The club are ramping up their market moves with Russell Martin's first competitive game just around the corner Rangers have snapped up Max Aarons as the first signing for the Russell Martin era at - but fans are desperate to see more deals get over the line. Lyall Cameron has joined the Rangers squad having agreed a pre-contract move from Dundee when Philippe Clement was in the hot seat but with the American revolution in motion under the new Ibrox owners fans are desperate to see the deals flood in. The crucial Champions League qualifiers against Panathinaikos next month and a new striker is top of the agenda with Hamza Igamane attracting interest from Lille and talks with AEK over Cyriel Dessers rumbling on. However, the Scottish Premiership side plan to offload either Igamane or Dessers before rubber stamping the deal for the 21-year-old. There is also set to be one imminent arrival and exit in the Light Blues' academy ranks. Fabrizio Romano states that 16 year-old talent Alfie Hutchison has completed a move to Newcastle United after several Premier League clubs had been chasing a deal. Football Insider also claim highly-rated Brighton winger "sensation" Zebedee Lawson has chosen Rangers as his next step. Conor Coady is inching closer to a move to reinforce the backline at Ibrox with sporting director Kevin Thelwell leading the push for a deal amid talks with Leicester City having worked with the 32-year-old at Wolves and Everton. Former Aberdeen chief Keith Wyness reckons that the club could be signing the next Terry Butcher, telling The Insider Track: 'Having had experience with Conor, I think he would be a great signing for Rangers. "He'd remind me a bit of the Terry Butcher days, that famous era at Rangers with Gazza (Paul Gascoigne). 'I think that Conor Coady is that type of character that would go down really well at Ibrox and would be a great addition, and would play the Russell Martin way as well. 'Even for a season or two to stabilise things, I think that would be a great signing to come in, so I would see that as a possibility for Rangers.' A winger is also on the agenda following the departure of Vaclav Cerny - but Kwame Poku won't be coming in. The 23-year-old is set to join Queens Park Rangers at the the end of his Peterborough contract despite heavy interest from the Premiership side. So, could Rangers go back to the Czech international? Cerny's agent David Nehoda left the door open last week stating: "Vaclav will be back in Wolfsburg in time for their start of training. "We are currently not in talks with Rangers about a possible further collaboration. There is no concrete offer from any other club either. "The summer transfer market window does continue for a long time though, so everything remains possible." Reports in Germany have claimed Cerny is now officially on the transfer list with Wolfsburg having to seriously cut their squad amid ongoing financial problems with owners German car giants Volkswagen. But amid a shifting picture at the Bundesliga giants, Braunschweiger Zeitung claims that with the club unable to spend big this summer boss Paul Simon is is willing to give the wide man a second chance and assess him in pre-season after his impressive season in Scotland.

Blazing mad Brooks Koepka smashes up tee box, withdraws from LIV event and sets alarm bells ringing for The Open
American star lost his temper at LIV Dallas and worries his fans pre-Open Blazing Brooks Kopeka smashed his way out of LIV Dallas in an outburst which set alarm bells ringing again ahead of Royal Portrush. The American star stormed off the course during Friday's first round of the event with illness cited as the reason for his eventual withdrawal with four holes to go. Koepka had already looked sick when he cracked a tee-box marker in visible rage after another wayward shot at the ninth. The five-times Major winner slammed his club into the deck at first before subsequently whacking the marker out of the ground and in the direction of the LIV crowd. It was a brutal moment ahead of his trip across the Atlantic for the 153rd Championship and have acted to dim hopes which had had risen following the US Open that better times may lie ahead and the real Koepka might be about to shine in Northern Ireland. Koepka's struggles at the biggest events in recent times has been sad for his fans to witness with the man who was the most-fearsome character in Major golf cowed. His history isn't unknown. In a six-year spell between 2017 and 2023, he won three PGA Championships, two US Opens and recorded six other top-five finishes. During one outrageous stretch through the 2019 season, Kopeka didn't finish outside the top four in any of the Majors and once famously stated that they were the 'easist' to win. Injury problems were clearly amongst the biggest reasons why the run stuttered, but the switch to LIV didn't initially halt him as he blasted back to victory with that fifth Major win at PGA Championship coming just two years ago. He made the US Ryder Cup team in Rome. However, following that success at Oak Hill, it went rapidly downhill. Last year, Koepka was unable to strike a blow as he failed to secure a Top 20 in any of the Majors and the descent continued into this term. At Augusta, while Rory McIlroy was making history to win his career Grand Slam and, importantly, match his rival's mark of five majors, Kopeka was already long gone having missed the Masters cut. That wasn't his first missed Masters weekend, but it was a different story with the PGA. The three-time winner of the Wanamaker Trophy had never done less than four rounds in his 12 previous appearances in the event until he got to Quail Hollow, but that record was crushed by a bruising dismissal following rounds of 75 and 76 leaving him nine-over par. Spats with fans and pictures of him buying beer in a supermarket made more headlines than his golf, yet at Oakmont a fortnight ago, there were signs of life. The opening-day 68 to be amongst the leaders at the end of a tough start at Oakmont put him back in a place where he'd once lived. Subsequently, rounds of 74 and 73 snuffed out any opportunity of him grabbing the trophy, but the Sunday 71 lifted him back-up into a tie for 12th place behind JJ Spaun and offered a first Top 20 finish at a Major in two long years. With Royal Portrush to come, the prospect of the 35-year-old rising even higher and continuing the ascent at the iconic Irish venue was a tantalising one, yet now the doubts return. It remains to be seen how much the illness played a part in his wayward scoring and loss of temper in Dallas less than three weeks from The Open, or whether the simple fact is that Oakmont offered merely a rare and brief glimpse of the old Koepka.

Katie Price's boyfriend JJ Slater 'unfollows' Conor McGregor after her wild time partying with the UFC star in Ibiza
Katie Price 's boyfriend JJ Slater has reportedly hit the unfollow button on Conor McGregor after she attended a raucous party with the UFC star in Ibiza. The 47-year-old was seen nearly spilling out of her tiny bikini as she had a wild time partying with the 36-year-old sports star at the famous Ocean Beach Club. Conor later shared a snap with Katie from the event on Instagram, captioning it: 'Katie Price Forever.' But it seems the snaps didn't sit well with JJ, 31, who wasted no time in unfollowing Conor on Instagram, according to The Sun. A source told the publication that JJ had been following Conor on social media for around half a year after Katie introduced them at his pub in Ireland. They explained: 'Katie was already following Conor on socials, and after that he followed her back and JJ also started following Conor. 'Now, after Katie was snapped partying with Conor in Ibiza, JJ has unfollowed Conor. 'He didn't like seeing the pictures of them having a whale of a time on the party island, he thought it looked disrespectful.' MailOnline has contacted JJ's representatives for comment. JJ, who found fame on Married At First Sight UK, has been dating Katie since earlier this year. Katie sparked further health fears from fans as she cuddled up to Conor with her tiny frame on display. She was all smiles with her pearly-white teeth as she showed off her slender arms and waist as well as razor-sharp jawline. Katie, also known as Jordan, boasted a bronze complexion as she danced beside Irish mixed martial artist Conor, 36. Conor went shirtless for the booze-filled party, wearing just a pair of red shorts and a white hat with his heavily tattooed chest on display. Since arriving in O Beach in Ibiza, Katie has caught up with famous pals including Wayne Lineker, Dean Gaffney and Jamie O'Hara. The mum-of-five previously addressed her shrinking figure back in May on Snapchat to worried fans. She said: 'Yes I've lost weight. Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. 'Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. 'And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me.' Last month, Katie branded herself 'ugly and disgusting' as she watched back video footage of herself undergoing plastic surgery in Turkey. In January, the mother-of-five flew abroad for 'tweaks' to her sixth £10,000 face lift and documented the trip for a new YouTube video. Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast last year, Katie explained that she has never been happy with her body. She said: 'I always said I haven't got body dysmorphia but there's definitely something, I don't know what it is... 'I've never looked in the mirror and thought I'm pretty or whatever.' However, despite having had at least six face lifts, Katie insists that she is not scared of aging.
