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!

Irving police lay out security concerns for FIFA World Cup 2026
The FIFA World Cup is coming to North Texas next year and the Irving Police Department is already expressing concerns about staffing and safety. Tom Hover, the assistant chief of police of Field Operations for IPD, explained the department's concerns during a city council meeting on Thursday. "Everybody compares the World Cup games to a Super Bowl," said Hover. "But the difference between a Super Bowl and what's happening with FIFA is there's only one Super Bowl, while there's 104 games that are going on for FIFA World Cup." The department is requesting that the city council consider $1,706,277 to $5,921,266 in overtime based on team selection, which IPD cannot confirm until after January 1. While AT&T Stadium is where nine marquee matches are scheduled — the most in North America, Irving is a base camp, and the city will still see a lot more action than many anticipate, Hover said. "While Arlington hosts the games themselves, the rest of the cities in [North Texas] that'll be contributing, the movements of the teams, the security of the teams, whether it's to and from practice or to and from the events itself or back and forth into the airport," he said. Here are a few things happening simultaneously with the massive sporting event: Fourth of July holiday Golf tournaments Hotel-sponsored fan events Non-sponsored events Bars, restaurants and home parties Short-term rentals Potential for crime Hover said police still have to maintain daily life for Irving as well. Parking, for instance, may become an issue. "Our day-to-day lives, our community still does their normal, normal, everyday work," he said. "And so not only do we have to prepare for what the World Cup is, but we have to continue on providing the same services and the same level of services to our community. So it's going to be it's going to be a challenge." Council members were uncertain whether they had voted to approve the funding if the city would be reimbursed.

After Mike Tyson travesty, Jake Paul faces his first serious boxing match
It has been seven months since Jake Paul stood inches from the inked, sweaty, weathered face of a 58-year-old Mike Tyson, awaiting the first bell in Texas. Inside AT&T Stadium, 72,000 fans watched on, while 60 million households tuned into Netflix. It was truly a moment that felt like the extremity of the YouTuber's boxing experiment. Not that Paul would brand it an experiment – rather a career, a lifestyle at this point, he would argue – but here was his most-accomplished opponent yet. The most cavernous venue yet. The most eyeballs so far. However, Tyson was also his oldest opponent yet, and by some margin. Still, millions gathered around televisions and laptops and huddled over phone screens, wanting to be part of the mother of all rodeos at the home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. They tuned in, baying for blood, and they were not baying for Tyson's. Despite the heavyweight legend's checkered, often concerning past, they could not in good conscience root against the once-'Iron'-but-now-very-human Mike. Not with Paul in the other corner. To many fans, Paul has been a frustrating fixture in the boxing landscape since he first fought in 2018. And while it could be argued that the former Disney Channel actor, 28, has actually roamed a landscape of his own shaping – away from the traditions of sensical matchmaking, world titles and such – he has proven unignorable. Weaponising his ability to aggravate, Paul has irked fans by beating icons of mixed martial arts, lesser-known pro boxers, and most recently the beloved Tyson. Yet he now vows that he will eventually hold a world title, a claim dismissed by almost all in the sport, but a goal that will become a little more achievable if he is to beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr this weekend. Just this week, Mauricio Sulaiman, chairman of the World Boxing Council, told Action Network that the YouTuber could well earn a ranking with a win over Chavez Jr. 'My personal opinion is yes,' said Sulaiman. 'We do have a rankings committee, but I believe he has done enough. He has received all the backlash for several years; if he beats Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, I think that puts him in a different position.' This pairing with Chavez Jr, 39, marks somewhat of a return to form for Paul in terms of his matchmaking. While some observers clung to the hope that Tyson could be a fraction of the 'Baddest Man on the Planet' that he once was, that this would be enough to knock out Paul, it was never going to happen. The real question surrounding the bout was whether the younger American, who has committed himself to the sport more than the average person realises, would actually try to stop Tyson. Paul did not try, which was simultaneously a merciful act and the biggest issue with that carnivalesque contest: its lack of authenticity. It was never a balanced match-up, but people believed it was, because they wished it to be. In contrast, Paul's previous contests were at least closer to ticking that box, even if they almost always leaned in his favour when put under the microscope. Paul's sole loss, against Tommy Fury, proved the exception. It was a serious test for Paul, although it was not necessarily a serious match-up more generally, given Paul's background and the fact that Fury is not the boxer his family wants you to think he is. Still, another serious test may wait this weekend. Opposite Paul will be Chavez Jr, who is a former world champion and the son of the legendary Julio Cesar Sr. Those two accolades, if you will (pugilistic and... biological?), position Chavez Jr as a credible threat to Paul. The American held the WBC middleweight title from 2010 until 2012, his reign ending upon his first professional loss. At that point, he was 42-0-1, with the third digit marking a draw. Yet look closer, and there is some reason to doubt Chavez Jr, even against Paul. His wins, now totalling 54, are considerable in number, yet many came early in his career against soft opponents. Then there are the six losses, some against great combatants like Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs, but one standing out: a defeat by UFC icon Anderson Silva in 2021. The Brazilian was 46 at the time and had not boxed since 2008, yet he earned a split decision over Chavez Jr after eight rounds. Notably, Silva would be dropped and outpointed by Paul 16 months later. In the world of combat sports, maths does not function according to its usual rules, so none of these factors and statistics guarantee a victory either way on Saturday, when the Americans box at the Honda Center in Anaheim. But they offer enough cause for concern, if you are among that sizeable group wishing for a Paul defeat. So does Chavez Jr's inactivity in recent years; his last bout, a points win against UFC alum Uriah Hall, took place 11 months ago – two-and-a-half years after his previous outing. So, here we are again, with a Paul fight imminent and appearing a decided risk, when it might just be a finely calculated one. No, maths does not function normally in this world, but no one is better at crunching the numbers than Paul.
