Jake Paul boxing tonight: TV channel, live stream, UK start time and fight card
Jake Paul returns to the ring tonight against son-of-a-legend Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in what could be the YouTuber's toughest fight yet Jake Paul takes on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr tonight - and victory could land him a world title shot. Paul has built up his record mainly by taking on retired MMA fighters and YouTube stars but in Chavez Jr he faces a former world champion. And victory will likely see Paul ranked by at least one governing body, allowing them to hand him a shot at their cruiserweight champion. But Chavez Jr will be looking to avoid what he would see as an embarrassing defeat by the social media star. He has fought just once in the last four years - labouring to a points win over former UFC star Uriah Hall. Here is everything you need to know about tonight's fight, including the start time and how to watch... How to watch and stream Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in the UK After his fight with Mike Tyson was shown on Netflix, Jake Paul returns to DAZN tonight for his clash with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The fight will NOT be included as part of your DAZN subscription but will instead be shown on pay-per-view, meaning fans will have to stump up £24.99 to watch. You can sign up for DAZN and purchase the fight by clicking the link below... Watch Jake Paul vs Chavez live on DAZN £24.99 DAZN Watch it here Product Description What time will Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr start in the UK? Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr will likely walk to the ring just after 4am in the UK, with the fight starting closer to 4.30am. With the fight being staged in California, this will be 8.30pm local time so don't be surprised if the fight actually gets underway closer to 5am UK time. As always, the main event time will be dictated to some extent by how long the undercard fights take to complete. Full fight card, undercard and UK start times Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr - 4.30am Jake Paul, who boldly and perhaps absurdly claims to be the face of boxing, will need to stylishly defeat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr to validate his audacious claim. It's been over two years since Paul faced a 'genuine' boxer, Tommy Fury, and he now faces a significant step up from 58 year old Mike Tyson, whom he outscored last November. However, Chavez Jr has been largely inactive, having fought only once in the past four years, scraping a victory over ex-UFC star Uriah Hall. Gilberto Ramirez vs Yuniel Dorticos - 3.30am If both men triumph in their respective bouts tonight, Gilberto Ramirez could be the one to give Jake Paul his dream world title shot. Before Paul steps into the ring against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Ramirez will defend his cruiserweight world title against Yuniel Dorticos, a former champion himself. Having won three consecutive fights after his sole career loss to Dmitry Bivol, Ramirez is the favourite for tonight's match. Floyd Schofield vs Tevin Farmer - 2.30am Floyd Schofield was scheduled to fight Shakur Stevenson earlier this year but withdrew during fight week due to illness. Instead, he'll face veteran Tevin Farmer tonight, aiming to put on a spectacular performance to secure another high-profile bout. Schofield risks his undefeated record against Farmer, who has lost his last three fights and is eager to make a stylish comeback. Avious Griffin vs Julian Rodriguez - 1.45am With just one defeat in 40 fights between them, there's a lot at stake tonight. Avious Griffin remains undefeated in his career, having won all 17 of his bouts and knocked out all but one of his opponents. Julian Rodriguez, who has only fought three times since his loss to Jose Pedraza in 2021, needs a win tonight to reignite his career. Raul Curiel vs Victor Ezequiel Rodriguez - 1am Two unbeaten fighters start the pay-per-view segment of the fight card, with both men winning all but one of their fights - the other being a draw. Raul Curiel was held to a draw in his last bout just before Christmas, while Victor Ezequiel Rodriguez has claimed four victories since his sole setback in 2023. Holly Holm vs Yolanda Guadalupe Vega Ochoa Victor Morales vs Rene Alvarado Joel Iriarte vs Kevin Johnson Joshua Edwards vs Dominicc Hardy John Ramirez vs Joahnys Argilagos Alexander Gueche vs Vincent Avina Quotes corner Jake Paul:"He's a great fighter. I like big names, legendary names, and he's on my path to a world championship. This is a tough test, a very tough test, but I'm here to challenge myself and do big things in this sport and then make a title run after I beat him. He's coming in prepared. They're saying this is the hardest he's ever trained, and he's right…I'm not a good boxer. I'm a great boxer." Julio Cesar Chavez Jr:"I don't think he's good. I think he tries, he trains hard, but he's not a good fighter. He's definitely not a good boxer. If he were a good boxer, then everyone else on this stage would be a legend. I don't think he's a good boxer, and everybody knows that. My preparation, I always prepare to take a win. I'm here to win and that's why I'm so confident that I will win."

Jake Paul heavy favorite, but public backing Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. big
June 28 - No matter who wins the cruiserweight fight between Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Saturday, the bout already has been a massive moneymaker for many involved. The card has set a record for the biggest boxing gate in the history of the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., and sportsbooks are seeing heavy action ahead of the main event. Paul, 28, lacks Chavez's resume, but he is 11 years younger than the former champion. That has led oddsmakers to maintain Paul as a heavy pre-fight favorite. The former YouTube star was being offered at -575 at DraftKings on Friday night, with Chavez the +400 underdog. Paul's line was -600 at BetMGM, with Chavez at +450 and with the book anticipating yet another big event headlined by Paul. The last time he stepped in the ring, Paul defeated former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Despite Tyson being three decades Paul's senior, the fight was the most streamed and the heaviest-bet in history. "Following up the most bet fight in BetMGM history, Jake Paul looks to take out another former WBC champion in Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.," BetMGM senior trader Alex Rella said. "However, Chavez was a champion over a dozen years ago and he lost to Anderson Silva in 2021 who then lost to Jake Paul in 2022. Fight math may not be perfect, but it can help be indicative of the times and why Jake Paul is a -600 favorite." Chavez's longshot odds had drawn 83 percent of the bets and 95 percent of the money wagered at BetMGM. Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) enters his 13th professional fight against the veteran Chavez (54-6-1, 34 KOs), the latest in a wide variety of aging boxers and former MMA stars he has coaxed into to ring for massive paydays. "He's a great fighter," Paul said. "I like big names. I like legendary names. He's on my path to a world championship. He's a tough test, a very, very tough test, but I'm here to challenge myself and do big things in this sport and then make a title run after I beat him on Saturday." Chavez quickly discredited Paul's track record, keeping it short and simple. "No, I don't think he's good," Chavez said. "I think he tries (and) trains hard, but he's not a good fighter. If he were a good boxer, everyone on this stage would be a legend. Everybody knows that." Chavez was considering giving himself an ultimatum: a possible retirement if he loses to Paul. Chavez remains extremely confident that he is going to be the first person to knock out the former YouTube star. "I always prepare to take a win," Chavez said. "I'm here to win, that's why I am very confident I'm going to take the win." Meanwhile, Paul went as far as to predict how he would prevail Saturday night. "I'm gonna knock him out. That's what I came here to do," Paul said. "First round, it's gonna be an early night. It's gonna be a right hook right away and I'm going home early. We don't get paid for overtime. This is gonna be a spectacular performance." Paul and Chavez are scheduled to get underway after 11 p.m. ET, concluding a seven-fight card. --Field Level Media
