What They’re Saying

Jake Paul:
“Five years ago, I stepped into the ring after just one amateur fight. Now I’m knocking out legends.”
“Chávez Jr. is Mexican, but I fight with more heart than he ever has. On June 28, I’m gonna make his dad proud — the son couldn’t do it.”

Julio César Chávez Jr.:
“I feel 10 years younger, and MVP will regret giving me this fight. They’re going to have a big problem this June.”
“After I beat him, maybe people will stop underestimating my name.”

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez:
“I’m locked in, sharper than ever. Dorticós is a tough puncher, but he’s not built for my level. The belts are staying with me.”

Yuniel Dorticós:
“This is war. And I’m ready to take those belts home to Cuba.”

Oscar De La Hoya:
“Zurdo is built for moments like this. Dorticós is coming heavy, but Zurdo’s going to steal the show.”

Nakisa Bidarian (MVP):
“June 28 is Jake’s moment to show 125 million people he’s a real fighter, not just a celebrity with gloves.”


Why You Should Watch

  • Because Jake Paul honestly believes he’s more Mexican than Chávez Jr. now.

  • Because Chávez Jr. says he’s “rejuvenated.” Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

  • Because Zurdo and Dorticós actually might steal the night with a real fight.

  • Because if Jake wins, he’ll be even more unbearable. If he loses, Twitter will be even more unbearable.

  • Because this might be the first time someone calls a DAZN PPV “historic” and almost means it.

  • Because when else will you see Jake Paul seriously trying to fight a Chávez and Zurdo on the same night? Exactly.
