- Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.+425
Paul comes into the fight as a heavy favorite with -600 odds to win outright according to online sportsbooks.
He holds an all time record of 11-1-0 in professional fights, his only loss coming against Tommy Fury by split decision.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is a much more experienced fighter with a professional record of 54-6-1 and has earned an aforementioned WBC middleweight title. His most recent fight came in July of 2024 when he defeated Uriah Hall by unanimous decision.
Why You Should Bet On Chavez Jr.
A common complaint about the resume of Jake Paul is his competition, or lack thereof. His most recent fight against Mike Tyson drew plenty of criticism as Tyson was clearly outmatched, being 58 years of age at the time and facing a 28 year old Paul.
Now, Paul will face a much younger opponent than Tyson, though he is still 39 years old and likely out of his physical prime, but it should be a much more fair match than before.

The reason that Chavez Jr. has the edge in this match is his boxing acumen, having faced some of the best fighters in the world for years. With just six total losses in his professional career, he did not become a world champion by accident.
The fact that he has not been a champion since 2012 does give some pause, but Chavez Jr. has rarely lost over a 20 year span and won three of his last four bouts.
Meanwhile, Jake Paul’s career leaves a lot to be desired in terms of impressive wins, as he has yet to face an actual active fighter. He has faced a few retired MMA fighters and boxers, but Chavez Jr. will be the closest thing he has had to a legitimate active fighter in the ring with him.
Boxing sportsbooks lean towards Paul due to the age difference and his 11-1-0 record, but Chavez Jr. has enough left in the tank to pull off the upset.
