Jake Paul Scores Unanimous Decision Win Over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Dominant Display

Jake Paul emerged victorious against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. via unanimous decision in a 10-round cruiserweight match. The event took place Saturday at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, and was broadcast on DAZN PPV. The judges' scorecards read 99-91, 97-93, and 98-92, all in favor of Paul.

This win extends Paul's (12-1, 7 KOs) winning streak to six fights since his defeat against Tommy Fury in February 2023. Prior to his victory over Chavez, Paul secured a unanimous decision against former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in November.

Chavez (54-7-1, 34 KOs), a former WBC middleweight world champion, captured the title in June 2011 with a majority decision win over Sebastian Zbik. He successfully defended the title three times. This marked Chavez's third consecutive fight in the cruiserweight division.

This fight held significant implications for Jake Paul. A victory over Chavez could potentially place Paul in the WBC rankings at 200 pounds, bringing him closer to his ambition of competing for a world title.

According to WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman, the organization had been closely monitoring Jake Paul's career. Sulaiman stated before the fight that a convincing win over Chavez would likely result in Paul being ranked.
