What time is Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.? Walkouts for boxing showdown
All that's left for Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is the fighting. After months of trash talk, their cruiserweight boxing match scheduled for 10 rounds is taking place Saturday, June 28 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Paul (11-1) hasn't competed since last November when he scored a unanimous decision over Mike Tyson in a fight that turned out to be the most-streamed sporting event on Netflix, with an estimated 65 million viewers. Paul's lone defeat came in February 2023 against Tommy Fury, but since then the 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer has rattled off five wins in a row against former UFC stars and boxers in the ring – Nate Diaz (unanimous decision), Andre August (KO), Ryan Bourland (TKO), Mike Perry (TKO), and Tyson.
Chávez Jr. (54-6-1), the son of Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez, will enter on a two-fight winning streak after most recently defeating former UFC fighter Uriah Hall by unanimous decision last July. Chavez, 39, hasn't been a world champion since 2012 and is looking to prove what he has left.
Paul and Chavez share a common opponent in former UFC champion Anderson Silva, with different results. In 2021, Silva shocked the boxing world when he won a split decision against Chavez Jr. after eight rounds. In 2022, Paul defeated Silva by unanimous decision in an eight-round fight.

Payton Talbott vs. Felipe Lima prediction, pick, start time for UFC 317
Payton Talbott and Felipe Lima meet Saturday in the main card opener of UFC 317 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Check out this quick breakdown of the matchup from MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom. Last event: 5-1 UFC main cards, 2025: 62-45-1 Payton Talbott vs. Felipe Lima UFC 317 preview Talbott (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) will look to rebound from the first loss of his professional career. At UFC 311 in January, Talbott dropped a unanimous decision to Raoni Barcelos. In his first three UFC appearances, Talbott finished each opponent, turning away Nick Aguirre, Cameron Saaiman and Yanis Ghemmouri. ... After dropping his pro debut, Lima (14-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has not tasted defeat since. He's won his first two UFC bouts by submitting Muhammad Naimov and winning a unanimous decision over Miles Johns. Payton Talbott vs. Felipe Lima UFC 317 expert pick, prediction Kicking off the paid portion of the card is a prospects battle at bantamweight between Payton Talbott and Felipe Lima. Although it feels like the public has started to turn on Talbott since suffering a vet lesson at the hands of Raoni Barcelos earlier this year, I can't say that I disagree with him being a slight underdog in this spot. I'm a fan of Talbott's style, but Lima has been a fighter I've had my eye on for some time, as he was prominently featured in my prospects to watch column prior to his arrival in the UFC. Lima's striking reminded me of a slightly more dynamic and polished version of Thomas Almeida's striking when he was first stepping onto the UFC stage and has since demonstrated his underrated ground game. Traveling and training with the likes of Khamzat Chimaev and others at places like Allstars Training Center and Bangtao Muay Thai, everything from Lima's wrestling to conditioning appears to be getting better each time out. I'll be curious to see what kind of improvements Talbott was able to make to his defensive wrestling and tactics since his first pro defeat, but I think that the takedowns will be a big back-pocket option for Lima down the stretch. The pick is Lima by unanimous decision. Payton Talbott vs. Felipe Lima UFC 317 odds The oddsmakers and the public are favoring the Brazilian fighter, listing Lima -194 and Talbott +150 via FanDuel.

UFC Cuts Ties With Undefeated Fighter After Huge Weight Miss
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - DECEMBER 15: UFC CEO Dana White is seen on stage during the UFC 2024 seasonal ... More press conference at MGM Grand Garden Arena on December 15, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) Sometimes you only get one shot. It sounds like commentary inspired by Eminem's iconic Lose Yourself, but it's actually true. Welterweight Christopher Ewert found this out the hard way. Ewert was supposed to step in to face Jackson McVey on the UFC 317 undercard. However, Ewert weighed in 10 pounds over the 170-pound limit. The massive weight miss led to the promotion dropping him immediately. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JUNE 25: Chris Ewert poses for a portrait during a UFC photo session on June ... More 25, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) UFC CEO Dana White and his leadership group aren't going to tolerate things like this from a fighter making their promotional debut—unless they've already built up a name, a reputation, and a rabid fanbase that travels well. That's not the case with Ewert. He has been impressive during his career. He's a perfect 7-0, most recently having won back-to-back fights with Fury FC. Still, it's likely the UFC wasn't overjoyed with Ewert's weight miss resulting in yet another fight being pulled from the International Fight Week show. The damage here is twofold. Not only did Ewert lose what could've been a life-changing opportunity, but he also disrupted McVey's momentum. McVey is also an undefeated prospect who has proven to be a KO artist. He was originally supposed to face Sedriques Dumas, but the latter was forced to pull out because he was unable to get authorities to remove an ankle monitor in time to participate in fight week activities. Ewert was the replacement fighter. He was pulled from a planned fight on the upcoming season of Dana White's Contender Series to fight McVey. Fans may be losers in this one too. McVey has star potential. The 6-foot-4 26-year-old has a 100 percent finish rate with knockouts in every professional fight. UFC fans will have to wait to see him in the Octagon. It's possible Ewert could still land on DWCS, but the huge weight miss is a bad look for his first UFC event. For what it's worth, Ewert's camp says they tried to hard to make the weight, but couldn't get over the finish line. As it is, here is a look at the UFC 317 card set for T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, June 28. UFC Fight Card Main Card Prelims Be on the lookout for post-event coverage as Topuria and Oliveira have an opportunity to add another layer to their Hall-of-Fame resumes. It's a top-heavy show, but we're for it.
