Jake Paul has had his hands full since that big win over Mike Tyson last November. Between launching The Paul American show, with his brother Logan Paul, locking in new endorsement deals, and building out his MVP empire,
Jake Paul has been expanding both his professional and personal life. Just last month, he added world champion Alycia Baumgardner to the MVP roster and greenlit an all-women’s fight card — set to unfold under the historic Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano trilogy on July 11 at Madison Square Garden. And now, with a thumbs-up from the WBA president himself, Jake Paul’s stepping back through the ropes to face Julio César Chávez Jr.
Naturally, the fight’s already got people talking. But surprisingly, this time fans aren’t just watching out of curiosity. Many actually think Jake Paul’s got a real shot, considering Chávez Jr.’s rollercoaster ride of a career. Some say he’s just coasting on his dad’s coattails and hasn’t made much noise of his own. Add in a history of inconsistency and personal struggles, and you’ve got a fight packed with intrigue. But here’s the real twist — Amanda Serrano, Jake Paul’s own MVP star, dropped a comment that raised a few eyebrows.
Jake Paul needs to watch out
A few days ago, Amanda Serrano dropped a message on X. She kept it real. Resharing The Problem Child’s new fight announcement, she wrote, “Wow this is going to be interesting! Rooting for my brother@jakepaul.” Sharing her excitement regarding the 10 round fight of June 28th in Honda Center, Anaheim, The Real Deal made sure the world knows who she supports. But she didn’t sugarcoat anything either.
Wow this is going to be interesting!
Rooting for my brother@jakepaul
But despite not being very consistent as of late Chavez jr is still a veteran of the sport. If he decides to take this fight seriously and train hard this could be Risky
Still going for mine! #PaulChavez… https://t.co/qqTWWqusri

Serrano gave Chávez Jr. his flowers, acknowledging that even though he’s been inconsistent in recent years, he’s still a veteran of the sport. “But despite not being very consistent as of late Chavez jr is still a veteran of the sport,” she pointed. And that’s important. Because if Cesar Chávez Jr. decides to lock in, get serious, and train like the old days? Amanda Serrano thinks this could hamper Jake Paul’s reputation. “If he decides to take this fight seriously and train hard this could be Risky ,” she emphasized.
Still, despite the potential danger, she’s not backing down on her support. “I’m still going for mine,” she wrote. A reminder that loyalty runs deep, especially when it comes to Team MVP and Jake Paul.
Basically, the Puerto Rican is keeping it 100. She knows this isn’t going to be a walk in the park for the 11-0, 7 KO boxer in front of the 54-6, 34 KO boxer. Moreover, despite losing the fight with Canelo Alvarez himself in 2017, (even thought he didn’t win a single round on scorecards) the Mexican fighter still went full 12 rounds with the 62-2, 39 KO boxer. But still, Amanda Serrano’s standing by Jake Paul all the way. And now? All eyes are on whether Chávez Jr. actually comes into this fight in shape… or not. Moreover, it looks like Ryan Garcia has already predicted whose hands are going to get raised on June 28th.

So here’s what went down—real simple. A reporter tossed Ryan Garcia the big question: “Jake Paul or Chávez Jr.—who you picking?” And in classic Ryan Garcia fashion, he didn’t exactly take sides. But he did throw a little shade, or let’s call it… a warning shot. He said, “Can Jake handle a Mexican professional fighter? You know it’s tough…. if you’re not used to that, you know?”

Now hold up—because that actually hits deep. KingRy didn’t need to say much. What he meant was: Mexican fighters bring a whole different level of grit. It’s not just about punches—it’s about pressure, stamina, and a kind of never-say-die attitude that can eat you alive if you’re not built for it. And Jake Paul? He’s still pretty new to all this. His fights so far? Mostly guys way past their prime or less experienced.
So the Victroville native didn’t say ‘Jake’s gonna lose’—but he pretty much said, ‘Let’s see if he’s really ready for this level.’ However, Jake Paul, of course, wasn’t just gonna let that slide. He clapped back on his Instagram story, reposting the clip of Ryan Garcia’s comment with six words that said it all: “Gonna find out now, aren’t we.” Short, sharp, and pure Jake Paul energy.
