Boxing remains one of the top leading sports in the world and it is on course to making complete recovery after the disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic. As we keep fairing on well into 2022, most of boxing big names are hoping to face off with their opponents. Over the past years, some amazing talents in boxing have risen out of nowhere. What do they have on offer for the year? In this article, you are going to find out about the latest new updates from the world of boxing. Keep reading to find our more:
With just five fights in his professional boxing career, the YouTuber turned boxer has shown quite an impressive performance against top boxers. 2021 saw him draw attention from boxing fans across the globe. Interestingly, he was able to launch a killer punch against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.
He has managed to raise so much attention to his fights and that’s why several sportspeople including athletes, fighters, as well as other celebrities want to tackle him. Of course he has proven critics who claimed that he had not faced a ‘real boxer’ wrong when he knocked out Tyron Woodley.
Will he likely fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr?
Paul has shown interest in fighting Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., so is Cesar himself. There are speculations about talks and offers being made but nothing more than that. Should there finally be a match between the two this year, it would really be an interesting match not to miss.
Both Julio Cesar and Jake Paul are big names who are controversial figures. For starters, Cesar hasn’t actually performed so well in his recent fights. He fought former UFC champion Anderson Silva in June 2021, but clearly lost the bout. He thus makes a perfect opponent to face Jake Paul.
Tommy Fury
It is highly unlikely that Tommy Fury will agree to boxing match with Jake Paul considering he pulled out of such a likelihood the first time there was an attempt. However, should Paul succeed at beating Chavez, Fury may consider taking the chance to fight Paul.
What about him fighting any of UFC champions?
Paul likes to posture so much about wanting a fight with top UFC champions such as Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal. However, it is very unlikely that any fighter under the UFC contract will be up for fight against Paul.
Being a sensationalist, Paul will call out big UFC names when he knows clearly that there absolutely wouldn’t be any chance of them fighting him. He has been at odds with the UFC president Dana White and because of that he wouldn’t allow it.
All he has been doing is simply trying to put the UFC president down with his verbal shots. However, talks will still keep going on around about the fights that will eventually not happen at all.
Is there a possibility to bet on some boxing action?
Of course boxing just like various other sports usually provides the best opportunity for bettors to try their luck. In boxing betting, you have the chance to place bets on the outcome of the match like you would with a football match.
You can choose your favorite boxer and bet that he is going to win by way of a knockout or through point decision. This kind of boxing betting can be likened to other forms of gambling like casino free spins. You place a bet and wait for lady luck to fall in your favor by choosing a boxer you feel is most likely to win.
There actually isn’t any official date or opponent lined up for Paul in 2022. Although going by his past fight itinerary especially in 2021. He has been fighting about once every four to five months. Going by this information, we can say that he is may probably be going back to the ring next in April or May.
Jake Paul has risen from social media popularity to an actual ring professional. Even though he remains controversial, he has been able to prove most of his critics wrong by defeating trained and professional fighters.
2022 certainly is going to be the year that he would need to up his game and beat more challengers. He has proven that he can actually do well against even some of the established boxers. While he was defeated by way of knock-out by retired welterweight champion, he has managed to remain consistent and managed to pull surprises amongst fans. He has proven that determination can actually help create a great boxer from nowhere!
