Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr fight LIVE: UK start time, results and stream
Jake Paul returns to action later this evening when he takes on former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has not fought since his controversial showdown with Mike Tyson. Despite failing to get a knockdown in the fight, the 'Problem Child' scored a dominant victory on points. Paul had hoped to return to the ring earlier this year - following sensational reports that the American was finalising a deal to fight Canelo Alvarez in May. However, the Mexican opted to pen a deal with Riyadh Season instead.
It has been a rather quiet few years in the ring for Chavez Jr. The 39-year-old - who holds a professional record of 54-6-1-1 - ended a three year hiatus last July when he defeated former UFC middleweight contender Uriah Hall. Paul is hoping that a win over Chavez Jr will earn him several high profile fights going forward, but his upcoming foe will be looking to cause a real upset and hand the 'Problem Child' only his second defeat. Be sure to stay tuned with all the live updates below...
Hello everyone and welcome to our live blog for Jake Paul's showdown with Julio Chavez Jr. Tonight's event promises to be an exciting watch - with the card stacked from top to bottom with several big names.
As well as the main event, Zurdo Ramirez - one of the world's best cruiserweights on the planet - will defend his world titles against former champion Yuniel Dorticos, and victory could see him her a potential blockbuster showdown with Jai Opetaia later this year.
But all eyes are on Paul - who has not fought since his dominant win over Mike Tyson. Tonight marks the American's first fight this year and is planning on a busy rest of 2025 should he come away unscathed against the former middleweight champion.

Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr LIVE RESULTS: Card on NOW ahead of Problem Child's brawl with boxing legend's son
SOCIAL media superstar turned boxer, Jake Paul, is hoping to take another huge scalp TONIGHT when he faces Mexican mogul Julio Cesar Chavez Jr! 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. SunSport will be on top of all the drama as it unfolds, including the undercard, which is currently underway. 7 minutes ago By Tom Sheen Here we go! Hello and welcome to SunSport's live coverage of Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr! It's a massive night in California with a packed crowd ready to watch the Problem Child take on the highly decorated former world midleweight champion. Chavez Jr is long past his prime but is - if you're not counting a 58-year-old Mike Tyson (you shouldn't) - the toughest opponent of Paul's career to date. The Mexican was a legitimate world champion in his heyday, even if he didn't quite live up to the legendary expectations set because of his name and father.

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.

Charli XCX accused of 'miming' at Glastonbury as famous face appears in set
Charli XCX took to the Other Stage at Worthy Farm as the final headliner on Saturday - and she certainly worked the Glastonbury crowd. In comparison to a sparse looking turnout for Neil Young, Charli was treated to a bumper audience as she left little to the imagination in her energetic performance. Taking to the stage in a black crop top and skimpy paints, she seductively teased the crowd and cameras. However, with those in attendance lapping up the display, it appears viewers at home weren't as impressed. Taking to Twitter/X, some fans blasted the singer for seemingly miming. One user fumed: "Oh ffs can't watch Scissor Sisters and Charli XCX is bloody dreadful. Could literally be any random person miming. WTF for a Glastonbury Saturday night, disappointing." Another added: "Predictable but shame nonetheless that charli xcx can't sing live #Glastonbury2025 #charlixcx FAKE." And a third said: "Charli xcx Embarressing [sic]that, turning up to walk around stage pretending to sing…" "What part of Charli XCX is 'live music' ? Get her off that stage ffs #Glastonbury2025," raged another. However, it wasn't all negative as another gushed: "Charli xcx the icon you are #Glastonbury2025." A second agreed, saying: "charli xcx killing it." And a third penned: "Charli xcx is taking over Glasto, she's bloody amazing." And as she found her "Apple Girl", cameras panned onto American singer Gracie Abrams. The 32-year-old artist from Cambridge reached new heights in the music industry last year after releasing hit album Brat. The album topped the charts in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. And it also made an impressive debut at number three on the Billboard 200. The singer is best known for hits like 360, 365, Speed Drive, Apple, Official, and not forgetting her earlier bangers Boom Clap, Boys, and Vroom Vroom. She had earlier been spotted alongside Denise Welch in the build-up to her show. Denise, who is the mum of The 1975's lead singer Matty Healy, shared a snap of the pair on social media. She captioned the sun-soaked image: "Talking about my BRAT flag." Charli and Matty are close pals, with the frontman of The 1975 calling out his friend during his own set. Earlier on Saturday, Kneecap's controversial Glastonbury set caused bosses to shut down the West Holts stage ahead of the Irish trio's performance. It came after calls for the festival to pull the band from the festival. Instead, the BBC just removed them from their live streaming of the festival. But such was the size of the crowd prior to their appearance, the area was closed off, with no other fans allowed to enter approximately an hour before they entered the stage.
