Julio Cesar Chavez Jr - I'll retire if Jake Paul beats me

Paul delivered a huge knockout blow to Tyron Woodley at the weekend to take a round six victory after a disappointing show in their first fight back in August.

While the rematch was largely uneventful until the knockout, it maintained Paul’s unbeaten record. The social media star has suggested that Chavez Jr. could be a target for a future fight. 

Chavez Jr. also fought at the weekend as the former middleweight champion won on decision over David Zegarra, helping to restore his credibility after losing to former UFC fighter Anderson Silva in his previous fight.

Perhaps buoyed by that win, he told TV Boxeo he would forgo payment and retire if he were to lose to Paul. 

"I can only talk about myself, not about other people, I am not here to criticise anyone. I talk by analysing boxing. I hope I can get a few million with Jake Paul. If he beats me, I'll retire, I don't get paid. I don't want money if I don't beat him. Retirement - not interested in his money if I do not win," he said.

"People want me to beat him, [Jake Paul] is strong and he knows how to organise the fights well at his weight, it would be a matter of reaching an agreement. 

“[The Pauls] generate a lot of expectations and money, a match with me would be good. They haven't learned how to fight well and I can take advantage of that. Jake Paul can punch, but he's not a boxer."
