Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has vowed to take out ‘trash’ Jake Paul and calls for a ‘winner-take-all’ fight.
The former WBC middleweight champion has revealed that he is in talks with the YouTuber to face the unbeaten boxer.
And so is their confidence, challenging Paul to put their money where their mouth is – by putting their joint purse to grab.
Chavez JR, 35, said on Instagram: “I assure you I will kick Jake Paul’s ass.
“When I fight Jake Paul I want it as the winner. The winner takes all the money.”
Then he said: “Jake Paul is garbage. I’ll drive him out.”
Paul, 24, was recently slated to face 22-year-old Tommy Fury, until the former British reality TV star passed out from a broken rib and a chest infection.
Tyrone Woodley, 39, signed on as a late replacement, but was knocked out in a rematch just three months after losing on points.

He now joins the KO list of YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Askren, 37, Paul.
Following Fury’s return, Chavez Jr. will be Paul’s first opponent with first professional boxing experience.
But the Mexican has been known to lack commitment in the past, most recently losing to future UFC Hall of Famer Anderson Silva, 46.
So his countryman Johnny Gonzalez requested the son of a legend to train properly for a fight with Paul – or face the consequences.
Gonzalez, 40, told CVBJ: “It’s a cool business these YouTubers are doing who want to face boxers.
“But if Chavez is a junior, I hope Julio will prepare well because if he loses to Paul he’s better retired from boxing.”
