Jake Paul vs. Julio César Chávez Jr. Fight Card Preview & FanDuel Parlay Picks
This Saturday, June 28, the Honda Center in Anaheim, California hosts one of the most talked-about cards of the summer, headlined by Jake Paul vs. Julio César Chávez Jr. The event features high-stakes matchups, championship implications, and plenty of betting angles.
Main Event: Jake Paul vs. Julio César Chávez Jr.
Jake Paul (11–1, 7 KOs) returns to the ring following a decision win over Mike Tyson. The 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer is facing his toughest challenge to date in Julio César Chávez Jr. (54–6–1, 34 KOs), the former WBC middleweight champion and son of a boxing legend.
Chávez Jr., known for his granite chin, brings experience and toughness, but questions remain about his conditioning and motivation. Paul is favored to win, but many expect the fight to go the distance due to Chávez’s durability.
Co-Main: Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez vs. Yuniel Dorticos
In a high-level cruiserweight clash, Gilberto Ramírez (47–1, 30 KOs) defends his WBA and WBO world titles against heavy-handed Cuban veteran Yuniel Dorticos (27–2, 25 KOs).
Ramírez is the more technically sound and active fighter, while Dorticos boasts knockout power. However, Dorticos has shown durability in past losses, suggesting this one may go to the scorecards.
Undercard Highlight: Floyd Schofield vs. Tevin Farmer
Floyd Schofield (18–0, 12 KOs), a rising lightweight contender, takes on slick veteran Tevin Farmer (33–8–1, 8 KOs). Schofield is the younger, stronger fighter, but Farmer’s experience and awkward southpaw style make this a potential test for the 22-year-old.
Expect a technical chess match with Schofield edging a close decision.
