Mexican Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., former world middleweight champion, will face 'youtuber' Jake Paul this Saturday in Anaheim, in a fight of bread and circuses that will distract fans from the crisis of credibility of professional boxing.

After defeating the legendary Mike Tyson by decision last November, in a boring fight between a 27-year-old and a 58-year-old veteran, Paul will challenge Chavez Jr., who also saw his best days pass and at 39 years old is far from his most luminous moments.

Paul, an eccentric with some physical qualities, has taken center stage as an alternative to the reality of boxing, a sport in which the best, like the Mexican Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, can choose their rivals and not face the greats, with the consent of international organizations.

I'm going to knock out Chavez, "maybe in the first round, predicted the American millionaire, who will face a rival on his comeback after recovering from addiction.

Julio Cesar is the first-born son of the greatest Mexican boxer in history, Julio Cesar Chavez. He inherited many of his father's qualities, but not his discipline, which prevented him from achieving more victories, although his record is good: 54 wins, 34 by knockout; with six losses, two by knockout.

With 11 wins, seven before the limit, and one loss, Paul mocked the Mexican midweek by releasing a video in which he hit a piñata with the face of 'junior'.

The fight, in the cruiserweight division, which does not have any titles at stake, is scheduled for 10 rounds at the Honda Center in Anaheim.

I have the experience and I still have my skills; I'm going to give Paul some lessons, said the Mexican, who tries to show that at his age he can still stay current.

Although his technique is far from the best fighters in the world, Paul takes advantage of his youth, his good reach and his great physical preparation. He is a strong boxer who can hit hard, Although he doesn't seem ready to climb the ladder toward a professional title.

The legendary Julio Cesar Chavez assured that his son will easily defeat the YouTuber. He's going to beat him the hell out of his life, he said.
