Paul vs Chavez Fight Preview
Who do you have in this 10-round cruiserweight bout? According to the best 2025 online betting sites in USA, Paul is a massive favorite to defeat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Here’s how the odds shake out:
Jake Paul defeated 58-year-old Mike Tyson by unanimous decision last November, setting viewership records on Netflix. The YouTuber turned prizefighter attempted to schedule a blockbuster bout against both Canelo Alvarez and Gervonta “Tank” Davis in the past month.
When those fights fell apart, Paul settled on 39-year-old former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Paul vs Chavez Betting Advice
Wondering how and where to bet on boxing? The top boxing betting sites have Paul as a heavy -550 favorite, while Chavez is at +350 odds to come out on top.
Before beating Tyson via unanimous decision, Paul had won three consecutive matches by knockout. The 28-year-old’s lost only once since turning pro five years ago, suffering a split-decision defeat to Tommy Fury in February 2023 before rebounding later that year with a unanimous decision victory over Nate Diaz.
“I just defeated the baddest man on the planet, and now I’m going against a former champion who conman Canelo couldn’t finish,” said Paul.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will soon turn 40 and hasn’t held a major world title in well over a decade. After starting his career with a 46-0-1 record, he’s gone 8-6 since losing his WBC middleweight belt to Sergio Martinez in 2022 with high-profile defeats to Alvarez in 2017 and former MMA champion Anderson Silva in 2021.
However, the son of a Mexican boxing legend has undeniable power, a punishing left hook and a solid chin. Chavez was victorious the last time he stepped in the ring, outpointing MMA fighter Uriah Hall, and if he shows up in shape, there’s a chance he could score the upset against a relatively unexperienced fighter in Paul.
While we think Jake Paul will follow up his victory over Mike Tyson with another win against an aging boxing legend, the -550 odds don’t offer much to get excited about.
