And the second generation star claims defeat to the 11-1 American would be so shameful he would not be able to show his face.
Asked if he would quit boxing forever with a loss, Chavez Jr, 39, said: "Yes, man." Before switching to his native Spanish.
Comedian Doknow translated to: "He says if he loses this fight, he's done. He's done with boxing, he'll never fight again.
"He'll go into hiding for two years and then maybe come back because he'd be embarrassed to lose to a man like Jake Paul."

He said: "My goal is to become world champion and the WBA and WBC plan on ranking me depending on my performance. And once I'm ranked I can go for the title shot.
"He's a formidable opponent, former world champion, it's a great, test ten rounds to get ready for what will ultimately be a world championship fight one day."
Badou Jack, 41, currently holds the WBC title and has opened the door to fighting Paul in the past.
Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez, 34, is the unified WBA and WBO champ and returns on Paul's undercard to fight Yuniel Dorticos, 39.
And Jai Opetaia, 29, is Australia's undefeated pound-for-pound star holding the IBF belt.

Scotland ace reveals why 'raw' Euros exit must act as watershed moment under 'hungry ' new boss
Scotland's Jenna Clark believes the appointment of Melissa Andreatta can provide a springboard to finally return to a major tournament.

Scotland defender Jenna Clark admits the 'raw' pain of missing out on the Women's European Championship this summer leaves her in two minds about whether she will be able to even watch the tournament this summer. The third successive tournament that Scotland have been forced to watch from home, their 2-0 defeat to Finland in the Euro 2025 playoffs saw Pedro Martinez Losa's reign as the national team boss come to a crashing end. The Spanish head coach dismissed less than a week after the painful defeat in Helsinki, his replacement Melissa Andreatta arrived in late April. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad While Martinez Losa will have other things on his mind this summer as he begins his stint in charge at the Liga MX Femenil side Tigres, for Liverpool centre-back Clark, the pain of missing out on this summer's tournament in Switzerland still rankles. 'As much as I was in and around the squad during the World Cup disappointment, I felt a lot more hurt by the Euros campaign,' Clark exclusively told The Scotsman. 'I'm don't know how I'm going to feel when it's on [Euro 2025]. We've [Liverpool] got a couple of players in the team who are going, and you're buzzing for them, but there's a part of me that's going 'it could have been us'. We've got good players, we are more than capable of qualifying for a major tournament. Liverpool and Scotland defender Jenna Clark is desperate to make a major tournament with the national team. | SNS Group 'Is it overdue? Or is it underperformance, or not the right balance - I'm not too sure. The Euros being on this summer makes it raw. I'd experienced the full campaign and everything that went into it. I was just really hurt after the game - it was a really emotional time. I never want to feel like that again. The next tournament is two years away, but the determination to get there is sitting in place already. That disappointment will be a massive motivation for the next campaign.' After an apathetic three-year stint under Martinez Losa, head coach Andreatta has been able to inject an early dose of positivity with a battling 1-1 draw against the Netherlands in the Nations League earlier this month. Arguably the better side in Tilburg, supporters were encouraged by what they witnessed from their side, with the 46-year-old making a strong first impression in her debut camp as the new Scotland head coach. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad New Scotland head coach Melissa Andreatta has been a 'positive' influence on the players in her first camp, says Clark. | SNS Group 'The last performance gives us confidence,' beams Clark. 'Mel has talked about really bringing back that 'Scottishness' to our game, and showing our identity. For us our biggest focus needs to be competing against nations we are 'on par' with. Can we go and dominate those games? I want to experience the highs that I have had at club level with this [Scotland] squad, the staff, the players. Everything. I want that. I want it soon. That's the goal. I want to qualify for as many major tournaments as possible.
