Who won between Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr.?

Jake Paul defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision after 10 rounds at Honda Center in Anaheim, California on June 28, 2025. The three judges scored the bout 99-91, 97-93, and 98-92 in Paul’s favor (ESPN boxing analysis). Despite months of pre-fight talk about a knockout, Paul controlled most rounds but could not finish the former WBC middleweight champion.

Fight outcome

Paul entered the ring at 199.4 lbs after cutting 27.8 lbs from his 227.2-lb frame from the Mike Tyson bout in November 2024, while Chavez Jr. weighed 198.4 lbs. The cruiserweight limit sits at 200 lbs. Paul was a -700 betting favorite and lived up to the odds, though the margin of victory suggested he still has ground to cover before facing the sport’s elite.

Scorecards

The CompuBox numbers tell the story of Paul’s dominance in volume but also Chavez Jr.’s late surge. Paul landed 140 of 482 punches thrown for 29% accuracy, while Chavez Jr. connected on 61 of 154 attempts for 40% accuracy. More striking: 40 of Chavez’s 61 landed punches came in the final two rounds, meaning the Mexican veteran barely fought for the first eight.

Post-fight reactions

After the win, Paul called out Gilberto Ramirez, Badou Jack, Gervonta Davis, Anthony Joshua, and Tommy Fury, according to DAZN’s live coverage. His six-fight winning streak since the February 2023 loss to Fury remains intact, and ESPN notes the victory positions him for a potential WBC cruiserweight ranking.

Summary

Jake Paul accomplished what he set out to do: defeat a recognized boxing name and maintain his winning streak. The unanimous decision over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. adds legitimacy to his cruiserweight push, though the late rally from Chavez Jr. showed why knockout guarantees ring hollow against experienced professionals. Paul now faces the real test of whether Ramirez, Davis, or Joshua will accept a fight that would finally answer whether the YouTube star belongs among boxing’s elite.
