Jake Paul’s entire foray into professional boxing is rather bizarre in its own right. His most recent fight being a prime example, where back in November, Paul squared off against 58 year old former world heavyweight champion Iron Mike Tyson. Paul was more than 30 years younger than Tyson, and Paul won the fight by 8 round unanimous decision. Most of Paul’s opponents to date have been against novices making their debut, guys with 0-1 records, and a lot of MMA fighters and the sort. Paul usually has the advantage in size, or experience, or youth – sometimes all three. The situation with Chavez Jr is no different.
Chavez is technically the most experienced professional boxer Paul will have faced to date. Chavez is 54-6-1 in his pro career, and his best fighting days were more than a dozen years ago at middleweight. Chavez has only fought once in the last three and a half years, winning a 6 round unanimous decision against Uriah Hall. At 39 years old, Chavez is nearly 20 years younger than Iron Mike, so Chavez is only approaching 40 as opposed to 60 like Iron Mike. But Paul is still more than 10 years older, far less active in recent years, and will be fighting well above his prime fighting weight.
