LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – MAY 14: Jake Paul, left, gestures towards Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Mexico’s … More
It’s not Canelo Alvarez, and it’s not an exhibition with Gervonta Davis, but what we’re learning more and more with each passing fight is, love it or hate it, it is still Jake Paul—and that’s the special, polarizing ingredient.
In late June, Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in the next chapter of both men’s bizarre but compelling boxing journeys. This week, MVP announced more pieces to the card headed for the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

The latest press release from MVP highlighted a huge lightweight bout added to the card. The undefeated Floyd Schofield will get the toughest task of his career when he faces Tevin Farmer. Schofield was originally supposed to fight Shakur Stevenson earlier this year, but he pulled out during fight week because of an illness.
Farmer is coming off two tough losses to William Zepeda, who is now set to face Stevenson on July 12. Because of the connections, the fight makes sense for both men.
“First of all, I want to thank Golden Boy, MVP, and DAZN for the opportunity to come back on this stacked card,” said Schofield Jr. per the press release. “Sharing the ring with former world champ Tevin Farmer is a huge opportunity for me to silence those who doubt me and my skills, and I know that I will come out with the win.”
“Kid Austin’s about to learn—my skills are different than anything he’s ever seen,” said Farmer. “I’m knocking him out to teach him a lesson.”
The addition of Holly Holm to the card was revealed on May 14 as she returns to boxing to take on the undefeated Yolanda Vega in a fight that will draw tons of attention from fans who know Holm primarily from her time in the UFC.
In totality, the Paul–Chavez Jr. card, which is also strengthened by Zurdo Ramirez’s unified title defense against Dorticós, makes this a strong summer boxing event. Be on the lookout for more information associated with Paul–Chavez Jr. and Taylor–Serrano III, which will also be promoted by MVP Promotions.
