Following his last fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson, the Jake Paul next fight has now been confirmed against former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Here is everything you need to know about the next fight of ‘The Problem Child’, and who he could face going forward in his career.

Jake Paul Next Fight: ‘The Problem Child’ Set For Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Showdown

Jake Paul is a name becoming more and more prominent in the world of boxing. At first, ‘The Problem Child’ was viewed as a bit of a gimmick, but now he is viewed by a lot of people as a genuine contender and a fully fledged professional boxer.

Jake Paul’s boxing record currently stands at 11-1, having beaten some big names in his short career so far. Although more known for their UFC exploits, Jake Paul has beaten fighters such as Nate Diaz, Ben Askren, Mike Perry and Tyron Woodley inside the boxing ring.

The only defeat of his resumé of course came to Tommy Fury in their Saudi Arabia showdown back in February 2023, but Paul has bounced back since with five victories. Three of which have come via knockout. Now, Jake Paul’s next fight is a hot topic of conversation.

After defeating boxing legend Mike Tyson last time out via unanimous decision, all eyes are on Paul and who his next fight could be against.

There have been numerous fighters calling him out, but now Jake Paul’s next fight has been made official for the summer. Standing in the opposite corner will be former bonafide world middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

The fight has been officially confirmed for the summer, with a date and venue announcement to follow. The contest will be staged at cruiserweight (200-pounds), with ‘The Problem Child’ looking to add another big name to his growing resumé.

The 27-year-old American will likely be the favourite to beat Chavez Jr, who lost to Anderson Silva in 2021 despite formerly having beaten world class fighters and shared the ring with the likes of ‘Canelo’, Andy Lee, Daniel Jacobs and Sergio Martinez.

Will Jake Paul Rematch Tommy Fury In 2025?

Now that he has defeated Mike Tyson and can fully focus on his next fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 2025 could be the biggest year of Jake Paul’s career to date. Time will tell who he fights later in the year, but he certainly has options.

As previous mentioned, various legitimate boxers and even world champions have called out ‘The Problem Child’ for a showdown. This includes the likes of Artur Beterbiev, Daniel Dubois, Ryan Garcia and even Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.

Former professions such as Carl Froch and Tony Bellew seem keen for a payday against the Ohio man too, however they seem unlikely. One option that hasn’t been discussed too much but makes perfect sense would be a rematch against Tommy Fury for the Jake Paul next fight.

Fury is the only man to have beaten Paul so far in the boxing ring. He of course is making his own path, but a rematch between Paul and Fury makes total sense. Do not be surprised if that fight gets made for late 2025.

The best UK boxing betting sites would likely list Paul as the underdog for that fight, given that ‘TNT’ won the first bout. However, the fight was close and a rematch would certainly generate a tonne of money for both parties.

At the end of the day, Paul is a cash cow and has already worked with leading promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren. Time will tell who the Jake Paul next fight is against after Chavez Jr, and who he will compete against going forward in his boxing career.
