Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Fight Preview
JJake Paul (11-1 with seven knockouts) found a niche for himself fairly quickly as a pro boxer. That niche was targeting MMA fighters with name recognition who were undersized or had undeveloped boxing skills. Paul's wins over Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva got the YouTuber-turned-boxer a lot of attention.
In 2023, Paul stepped up in competition, skill, and size to face Tommy Fury. The result of that fight was Paul's first and only pro loss, dropping a split decision to Fury.
Paul followed that loss by getting back in the ring with a former UFC fighter in Nate Diaz. Paul won that bout by split decision.
Since beating Diaz, Paul is 4-0 with wins over Andre August, Ryan Bourland, Mike Perry, and most recently, Mike Tyson.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (54-6-1 with 24 KOs) has had a hard time shaking the visual of his 2019 loss to Daniel Jacobs, a fight where he came in overweight and quit in the fifth round. Chavez's action on that night left the crowd at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, showering the ring with debris.
Chavez is 3-2 since that loss, but he says he will be a different fighter against Paul.
"Now I'm disciplined, I'm focused, I want to finish the fight with Paul with a win and take this opportunity to be back in real boxing. That's my goal."

Gilberto Ramirez (47-1 with 30 knockouts) opened his professional boxing career on a 44-0 run, going undefeated between 2009 and May 2022. He held the WBO super middleweight title between April 2016 and December 2018, defending the belt five times before moving up to light heavyweight in 2019.
Ramirez won his first five fights at light heavyweight by knockout, earning him a shot at Dmitry Bivol and his WBA light heavyweight belt. Bivol bested Ramirez in that 2022 contest, winning via unanimous decision.
Ramirez bounced back from that loss with three unanimous decision wins. In the seconds of those contests he bested Arsen Goulamirian for the WBA cruiserweight title, In his most recent outing he defeated Chris Billam-Smith to add the WBO cruiserweight belt to his collection.
Yuniel Dorticos (27-2 with 25 KOs) also turned pro in 2009. He too began his career with an impressive unbeaten streak, going 22-0 between his debut and February 2018. During that run, Dorticos won the vacant WBO interim cruiserweight belt in 2016 with a TKO of Youri Kayembre. Later elevated to full champion status Dorticos defended that belt with a KO of Dmitry Kudryashov. He surrendered that title to Murat Gassiev in his next outing, losing by TKO in the 12th round.
Dorticos later won the IBF cruiserweight belt, beating Andrew Tabiti for the vacant strap in 2019. He lost the title in his first defense, dropping a majority decision to Mairis Briedis in 2020.
Since losing the IBF strap, Dorticos is 3-0 with three knockouts, most recently stopping
Alan Campa in the first round of their June 2024 scrap.
ESPN has Ramirez ranked as the No. 2 cruiserweight behind IBF champion Jai Opetaia. Dorticos is the No.1 ranked cruiserweight according to the WBA. The WBO has him at No. 9.

Nkunku's extra-time goal sparks Chelsea to weather-delayed 4-1 win over Benfica in Club World Cup
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Christopher Nkunku scored off a rebound in extra time and Chelsea went on to beat Benfica 4-1 in a Club World Cup Round of 16 match Saturday at Bank of America Stadium that was delayed for two hours due to lightning and took nearly five hours to complete. Chelsea advances to play Palmeiras in the quarterfinals Friday in Philadelphia. Palmeiras beat Botafogo 1-0 on Saturday. Nkunku's tiebreaking goal came in the 108th minute with Benfica playing a man down after Gianluca Prestianni received a red card. Moisés Caicedo's left-footed shot from the left side of the box was saved in the center of the goal by Anatolii Trubin, but an alert Nkunku was there to bury the deflection into the top right corner before being mobbed by teammates. Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall added insurance goals in extra time for the final margin. Reece James scored on a free kick in the 64th minute to give Chelsea a 1-0 lead. But with four minutes left, the match was stopped because of lightning and delayed for two hours. When the teams returned, Chelsea was called for a handball in stoppage time when the ball hit Malo Gusto's hand. Angel Di Maria converted the penalty to even the match. After dominating most of the first half, the English club finally broke through when the 25-year-old James laced a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner of the net. The Portuguese side had a chance to tie it in the 78th minute, but Gianluca Prestianni sent a right-footed shot from the right side of the box just left of the goal. Prestianni held his head in his hands in agony after the miss. In the closing minutes, players were pulled off the field and fans told to seek cover due to lightning strikes in the area, although it did not rain at the stadium. Only a few thousand fans returned for the conclusion. Chelsea entered with a 3-0 record against Benfica and controlled the tempo in the first half with a 5-1 edge in shots on goal. But despite possessing the ball more than 60% of the time, the Blues headed to locker room at halftime in a scoreless tie. The match was not well attended. More than half of the lower bowl of 75,000-seat Bank of America Stadium was empty and all but a few hundred seats in the upper deck were remained unclaimed as the event continues to struggle with ticket sales in the United States even as it moved into the knockout round. Key moment James' goal gave Chelsea momentum after it failed to convert some decent looks in the first half. Takeaways Benfica seemed content to play defense most of the match and try to take advantage of its few chances. But the offense could not capitalize on the opportunities it generated. Noteworthy It was the first two Round-of-16 knockout games at the home of the NFL's Carolina Panthers. Inter Milan meets Fluminense on Monday, with the winner facing either Bayern Munich or Flamengo in the quarterfinals. ___ AP soccer:

Cink, Harrington, Hensby make up 3-way tie for lead after Saturday at 2025 U.S. Senior Open
There's a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard after the third round of the 2025 U.S. Senior Open Championship at The Boulder's East Course in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Stewart Cink, Padraig Harrington and Mark Hensby all finished Saturday's third round at 8 under for the championship, promising an exciting finish Sunday. Stewart Cink of the United States walks the fifth green during the third round of the U.S. Senior Open Championship 2025 at Broadmoor Golf Club on June 28, 2025 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. All three men shot 2-under 68 on Saturday. Harrington fired a 4-under 32 on the front nine and appeared as if he might run away with it before making double bogey on the par-3 12th and bogey on the par-4 15th. The round comes just a day after the 53-year-old Irishman got in a confrontation with NBC's Roger Maltbie after taking offense to Maltbie's lack of help in searching for a golf ball. Advertisement The video of the altercation went viral on social media. Cink, meanwhile, nearly played an identical round to Harrington's. He shot 32 on the front before bogeys on the 13th and 16th dropped him back to 8 under and into a three-way tie with Cink and Hensby, who had a rollercoaster of a third round. The 53-year-old Australian Hensby made back-to-back birdies on Nos. 5 and 6 before making bogey on No. 8 and eagle on No. 9. Two more birdies and two more bogeys on the back nine ultimately led to a 68. Right behind them is Denmark's Thomas Bjorn, who sits at 7 under for the championship after a really stellar 4-under 66 on Saturday. Advertisement It figures to be a four-horse race on Sunday, with Steve Fisch sitting in 5th place at 4 under, three shots back of Bjorn and four shots behind the leaders. The winner of the U.S. Senior Open Championship on Sunday will take home the Francis D. Ouimet Memorial Trophy as well as $800,000, or 15 percent of the $4 million purse.

Tisha Campbell Says She'd Love to Work With Amy Schumer: ‘She Understands the World of Autism'
Tisha Campbell is ready to share the screen with a fellow comedic actress. 'I want to work with Amy Schumer,' the Martin alum reveals exclusively in her 25 Things You Don't Know About Me feature in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. 'It's her humor and comedy. I just feel like she's a smart, funny woman.' Campbell, 56, notes the similarities between herself and Schumer, who both have family members who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Tisha Campbell Details Return to Her 'Nostalgic' Sitcom Roots on 'Lopez vs. Lopez' '[Amy] understands the world of autism. She talks about it in her comedy,' Campbell explains. 'I have a child on the spectrum. We're both in comedy, and I can relate to her.' Campbell shares two sons Xen, 23, and Ezekiel, 15, with ex-husband Duane Martin. Keep scrolling for more personal stories from Campbell, including how she snuck into her audition for My Wife and Kids and why she decided to embark on her Damn Gina! Comedy Tour: My first babysitting job was at 5 years old. My parents had to work. There were four of us I had to take care of. [The] Dayum Gina! Comedy Tour is new for me. I never did stand-up in my life. I wanted the people that I worked with and respected to know that I was serious about it. I love that there's no camera between me and the audience in stand-up. They're getting to know me a little bit better. I'm a people person. The last show I binge watched was Paradise. That show was wearing me out. I'd love to revisit Uncoupled with Neil Patrick Harris. The writing was incredible. I think it was my favorite thing I've ever done. I love everything about being a boy mom other than the smell. I snuck into the audition for My Wife and Kids. I called [my friend and former co-star] Tichina [Arnold]. We've been crashing each other's auditions since we were little kids. The oldest piece of clothing I own is a coat from the Martin days. I'm such a morning person. It's too much for others. I'm talking at 4 in the morning. My most embarrassing moment was when I was performing and peed on myself at 5 years old. My dad took me to the bathroom and said, 'We're going to change you, but you got to go back out there. I don't want you to be afraid.' My favorite comfort meal is spaghetti, pizza or good old bowl of Cream of Wheat. I want to work with Amy Schumer. She understands the world of autism. I have a child on the spectrum. We're both in comedy, and I can relate to her. Attallah Shabazz, I look to as my auntie. She is the daughter of Malcolm X and ambassador to Belize. Melba Moore is one of my mentors. I have OCD so one of my phobias is shoes in the house. I hate that. My favorite way to spend the weekend is writing scripts on my laptop. I'm a writer; most people don't know. My favorite place to hang out as a teen in Newark was Arts High School. I loved my high school because it showed me that there was something bigger than my block. Tisha Campbell Has 'Been Asked' to Join 'Real Housewives' Says But 'Now Is Not the Time' The way that Damon [Wayans] approaches comedy — I kind of stole his style. I've also stolen from Martin Lawrence, how he finds the funny between the lines. All my projects are nerve wracking because I am nervous before everything. I turn my nerves into excitement. More so than anything, I want my kids to look at me and say, 'With everything that she's been through, she persevered.' My first car was a 1975 Ford Granada that I won from a talent contest. My celebrity crush growing up was Todd Bridges. My go-to karaoke song is Rihanna's 'Where Have You Been.' It's up tempo and fun to sing. If I wasn't an actor, I would either be a chef or an interior designer. 'Let Me Clear My Throat' by DJ Kool brings back the best memories. It just brings you back to a time where things were more simple. My favorite School Daze memory is hanging out with the ladies. Spike [Lee] separated the light-skinned and dark-skinned girls in different hotels to create tension for the characters. I'd always be at the other hotel.
