Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr live: Start time, undercard, fight updates and results
Tonight, Jake Paul returns to the boxing ring to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr – a former world champion and the son of boxing legend Julio Cesar Sr.
Paul last fought in November, outpointing heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in a bout that was widely panned, with the YouTuber later admitting that he held back against the 58-year-old.
Now, 28-year-old Paul takes on another former world champion in Chavez Jr, who held the WBC middleweight title from 2010 until 2012.
Chavez Jr has pedigree, therefore, also factoring that his father is boxing royalty, yet the 39-year-old has not impressed in recent times. In 2021, he was outpointed by UFC icon Anderson Silva, who was 46 at the time, and his last outing was a decision win against another UFC alum, Uriah Hall. That fight took place last July, two-and-a-half years after his previous contest.

Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr LIVE RESULTS: Main event ON NOW as Problem Child returns against Mexican legend
JAKE PAUL is facing Julio Cesar Chavez Jr RIGHT NOW as the main event of the evening has arrived in California! The Problem Child was under a lot of scrutiny when he last competitively stepped foot in the ring. Paul, 28, outpointed 58-year-old legendary boxer Mike Tyson for the whole of Netflix to see, and it was a decision that ended in unanimous boos around the AT&T stadium. But ultimately, it was a huge win for Paul, and he'll be hoping to extend his 11-1 professional record when he faces the son of icon, Julio Cesar Chavez. Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez beat Yuriel Dorticos to retain the WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles, while Floyd Schofield scored a statement first round KO against Tevin Farmer. just now By Kieran Davies Tale of the tape in main event Here are the records of the two fighters locking horns in the big fight of the evening: 5 minutes ago By Kieran Davies JP confident as ever for victory Speaking with DAZN, Paul gave his pre-fight thoughts: Yeh I'm feeling the most explosive I've ever felt. I am in the best shape I have been and I think this is going to be a real breakout event for me. Jake PaulUSA 10 minutes ago By Kieran Davies Paul huge favourite for victory The bookies cannot see past a win for Jake Paul this evening: Jake Paul by KO, TKO or Disqualification – 11/8 Jake Paul Decision or Technical Decision – 1/1 Julio Cesar Chavez Jr KO, TKO or Disqualification – 9/1 Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Decision or Technical Decision – 9/1 Draw or Technical Draw – 16/1 All fight odds brought to you by Betway. 14 minutes ago By Kieran Davies Tension builds for main event We edge closer to the fight everyone has come to see. Jake Paul versus Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. There has been plenty of trash talk in the build-up to this with Paul stating this one will not go past the fifth round, while Chavez has promised to knockout his opponent. 18 minutes ago By Jack Figg Zurdo wants Opetaia He calls out IBF champ Jai Opetaia for a unification bout. Zurdo says: "That's the fight that I want. I'm the king." 21 minutes ago By Jack Figg Ramirez vs Dorticos The judges score the bout 115-112 (x2) and 117-110... and STILL the unified WBA and WBO cruiserweight champion... Gliberto Ramirez. Laughable scorecards there, even with the point off. Zurdo did come back strong but I feel the challenger has been hard done by there. 23 minutes ago By Jack Figg Ramirez vs Dorticos – Round 12 Massive counter shot bounces off Zurdo's chin - great shot. Dorticos pushes the pace to the final bell and possibly may have done enough to take that. It will be tight on the cards, Dorticos started well, had a point off while Zurdo came back into it but the challenger may have pulled it off in the final two rounds. Let's see if the champ gets the classic favourable decision. 27 minutes ago By Jack Figg Ramirez vs Dorticos – Round 11 Dorticos is warned AGAIN for low-blows. This time gets away with it. It's back and forth action, nip and tuck with one round to go. Dorticos raced to an early lead but Zurdo has fought back and with the point off, it's all to play for. 32 minutes ago By Jack Figg Ramirez vs Dorticos – Round 10 Point deducted from Dorticos for low-blows! Now the fight is up in the air. This changes things. Dorticos ups the work rate towards the end of the round but with two to go his early lead is under threat. 37 minutes ago By Jack Figg Ramirez vs Dorticos – Round 9 Lovely exchanges on the inside with Ramirez getting the better of it. The pair go blow for blow now on the inside, Ramirez starting to land with the left hand. Ramirez slips on the canvas and the crowd get very excited - but nothing to see here. 41 minutes ago By Jack Figg Ramirez vs Dorticos – Round 8 Another left hand snaps Dorticos' head back, Ramirez starting to come on stronger now. Ramirez letting his hands go a little more now, maybe Dorticos is starting to tire. Better rounds for the champion, who maybe has come into the fight just in time. 45 minutes ago By Jack Figg Ramirez vs Dorticos – Round 7 Big left hand from Zurdo lands and the two exchange blows on the inside. Better work from Ramirez but he's been far too economical with his combinations. Good shot at the end likely wins him the round but it's been a rare sight of success. 49 minutes ago By Jack Figg Ramirez vs Dorticos – Round 6 Lovely one-two combination from Dorticos to open the round. Zurdo pushes forward but it's Dorticos who is landing the better shots. He could be on the way to a massive upset here. 52 minutes ago By Jack Figg Ramirez vs Dorticos – Round 5 Zurdo pushing the pace but not landing all that much. Dorticos is controlling the action at range and frustrating the champion. Heading into six rounds and the champion needs to get going. 56 minutes ago By Jack Figg Ramirez vs Dorticos – Round 4 Huge left hand from Zurdo on the inside, more like it from the champion. Better round for Ramirez who started to let his hands go a little. Dorticos needs to get behind that jab again. Today, 03:35 By Tom Sheen Big one up next We've got one more fight until the main event with Gilberto Ramirez defending his WBA and WBO titles against Yuriel Dorticos! This is expected to be a thriller with Zurdo at the top of his game and Cuban Dorticos a KO specialist. We can't wait for this one - and then Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr will be coming to the ring after that. Today, 03:27 By Jack Figg IT'S ALL OVER! Big combination from Curiel with Rodriquez on the ropes and that's all she wrote! Took a while for Curiel to get going but when he did - it was all she wrote. Rodriguez sporting a bruised face, probably the right call from the referee. Today, 03:26 By Jack Figg Curiel vs Rodriguez – Round 4 Lovely combination from Curiel, from head to body but Rodriguez covers up nice. Down goes Rodriguez after a right hook from Curiel - what a shot!

The flyweight title is about to be up for grabs. Will dominant champion Alexandre Pantoja be able to retain the strap for a fourth straight time? Or will Kai Kara-France end the Brazilian's dominant reign? We'll soon find out. 7 minutes ago By Chisanga Malata Van wins! Joshua Van edges an absolute classic with Brandon Royval via unanimous decision. The judges turned in 29-28, 29-28, 30-27 scorecards. An incredible fight, arguably the best in flyweight history. 14 minutes ago By Chisanga Malata Royval vs Van – Round Three Both men are battling hard to operate at their desired range and are having success. Van's shots, however, are seemingly the more effective punches. Remarkably, neither man has any serious swelling or bleeding on their face. This is an absolute dog fight and the crowd are losing it. The horn goes and the arena erupts. What a fight! 20 minutes ago By Chisanga Malata Royval vs Van – Round Two Having tasted Van's power late in the first, Royval has gone back to trying to operate at a distance. But Van isn't giving him any breathing room and is crowding him at any opportunity he gets. Royval's chin is taking a pasting and is somehow still holding up. Royval is having more success with the jab as he sticks and moves but Van is doing a good job of starting in his ideal range. 28 minutes ago By Chisanga Malata Royval vs Van - Round One They touch gloves and they're off. Royval is the taller of the pair and is already looking to utilise his long-range strikes. Van needs to get on the inside if he's to do any damage, but is struggling to do so. But he lands a heavy counter left hook as Royal closes the distance. Royval is starting to play into Van's game here and is getting tagged inside boxing range. And he gets dropped by a beautiful counter left with just over a minute and a half to go. Royval recovers and goes back to hunting down Van before the horn goes. 35 minutes ago By Chisanga Malata Super-fly flyweights on deck We return to the men's flyweight division for a pivotal bout between the surging Joshua Van and former title challenger Brand Royval. Dana White all but confirmed that the winner of this will get the next title shot. Massive, massive stakes in this bout. 47 minutes ago By Chisanga Malata Dariush wins! Beneil Dariush gets the job done, beating Renato Moicano via unanimous decision. A massive win for Dariush, who is now back in the winner's circle. 50 minutes ago By Chisanga Malata Moicano vs Dariush – Round Three Some brilliant scrambles follow a successful takedown from Dariush. But they return to the feet just after the two-minute mark and go back to counter boxing. Dariush is having more success with his left hand than I envisaged. The fight briefly hits the mat with just over a minute and a half of the round remaining. The horn goes after a failed takedown attempt from Moicano. I have Dariush winning this by two rounds to one. Chisanga's scorecard: 29-28 Dariush 55 minutes ago By Chisanga Malata Moicano vs Dariush - Round Two Dariush stifles a takedown attempt from Moicano shortly after the restart. And he's now out grappling Moicano against the fence, something I didn't expect to see. Fans aren't happy with Moicano being kept on the ground with relentless top pressure from Dariush, who has well and truly blown off the cobwebs following that knockdown late in the first. Chisanga's scorecard: 19-19 Today, 03:58 By Chisanga Malata Dariush vs Moicano - Round One Moicano takes the centre of the octagon and puts southpaw Dariush on the back foot. Dariush chips away at the legs of Moicano with two hard low kicks. And a third echoes throughout the arena. Moicano's first attempt to ground the fight is stuffed but he lands a good knee to the body after the unsuccessful shot. Moicano gets dropped by a hard leg kick but returns to his feet, albeit compromised. Moicano is getting the better of the boxing exchanges, but none of his shots have hurt Dariush yet. Just as I say that, Dariush gets dropped and is scrambling to fend off Moicano's attempts to take the back. Defend it he does and he manages to make it back to his feet before seeing off another onslaught from 'Money' just before the horn. Chisanga's scorecard: 10-9 Moicano Today, 03:49 By Chisanga Malata Lightweights on show We move to our first of two lightweight offerings tonight. Fan favourite Renato 'Money' Moicano is about to take on Beneil Dariush. The pair were, of course, set to throw down at UFC 311 in January but Moicano got the call to fight former champ Islam Makhachev on short notice. Today, 03:43 By Chisanga Malata Talbott wins! Payton Talbott returns to the win column courtesy of a 29-28 scorecards. Incredible improvement from the youngster, in particular with his defensive grappling. He's well and truly back on track, much to the delight of fans inside the T-Mobile Arena. Today, 03:38 By Chisanga Malata Talbott vs Lima – Round Three Talbott continues to showcase brilliant counter wrestling between striking exchanges. He's really come on leaps and bounds over the last few months. Talbott has Lima on the back foot and ripping in beautiful shots to the body. And he nearly took Lima's head off with a beautiful spinning heel kick Lima took it well, though. But is now on his back fending off a barrage of strikes. The horn goes. That's a close fight, IMO. But I give it to Talbott by two rounds to one. Chisanga's scorecard: 29-28 Talbott Today, 03:33 By Chisanga Malata Talbott vs Lima – Round Two These boys, Lima in particular, are throwing some serious, serious heat. Talbott wisely takes the fight to the ground just before the halfway point of the stanza. But just as I praise him for doing so, he lets Lima back to his feet. And he nearly gets his clock cleaned by a spinning back fist. And he nearly gets his clock cleaned by a spinning back fist. Talbott shows off yet more brilliant defensive grappling just seconds before the horn. Today, 03:25 By Chisanga Malata Talbott vs Lima - Round One An incredible round full of entertaining scrambles on the ground. Talbott is hanging in much better on the ground than he did when he fought Raoni Barcelos a few months ago. But Lima is a real, real threat. They return to the feet with just over 20 seconds left to go and Talbott lands a nice elbow in the clinch before the horn goes. Today, 03:17 By Chisanga Malata Bantamweight bust-up We move to the men's bantamweight division for a showdown between Payton Talbott and Felipe Lima. This is a big one for prospect Talbott, who was dominanted by Raoni Barcelos in his last outing. Let's see if he can return to the win column.

Not long now until the big one between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira. Today, 02:57 By Chisanga Malata Hermansson helped backstage Jack Hermansson had to be helped backstage by security and the cageside doctor after that knockout loss to Gregory Rodrigues. That was probably the scariest aftermath to a KO I've seen. And I don't say that lightly. Scary, scary stuff. Today, 02:57 By Chisanga Malata Hermansson helped back stage Jack Hermansson had to be helped backstage by security and the cageside doctor after that knockout loss to Gregory Rodrigues. That was probably the scariest aftermath to a KO i've seen. And I don't say that lightly. Scary, scary stuff. Today, 02:47 By Chisanga Malata Rodrigues wins! Gregory Rodrigues has just brutally KNOCKED OUT Jack Hermansson with a huge uppercut and the unnecessary of follow-up shots. Hermansson was, worryingly, out for several minutes before coming to. That was scary, to say the least. Today, 02:33 By Chisanga Malata Middleweight melee We move to the 185lbs division for what promises to be a war between veteran Jack Hermansson and Brazilian bruiser Gregory Rodrigues. Hermansson is fresh off a victory over the previously undefeated Joe Pyfer.

It was beautifully hidden and snuck up through the card. No wonder Hyder Amil folded. Today, 02:12 By Chisanga Malata Delgado wins!!! Jose Miguel Delgado has just STARCHED Hyder Amil in the first round. A brutal left knee in the Thai clinch sent Amil crashing to the canvas. And Delgado didn't waste the golden opportunity to close the show, landing two hard follow-up shots to close the show and pick up the biggest win of his career.
