This will be Paul’s second fight against a former boxing champion. Paul has won five straight fights since suffering the first defeat of his career to Tommy Fury in February 2023. In his five-year boxing career, Paul is 11-1 with seven knockouts.

Chavez Jr. is 54-6-1 in his boxing career and is a former WBC Middleweight Champion. This fight between Paul and Chavez Jr. is scheduled for 10 rounds and will have a weight limit of 200 pounds. Chavez Jr. had his last 10-round fight in December 2021 against David Zegarra.
