Julio Cesar Chavez Jr chose Jake Paul over KSI for the upcoming fight
Paul wasn’t the only option for Chavez Jr’s next fight, as he turned down the chance to box KSI at the event instead.
The Mexican fighter admitted that he isn’t just doing the fight for the money. He said that the match with Paul was bigger and that he wants to avenge Mike Tyson’s recent defeat to Paul.
Chavez told ESNews: ” When the offer came to me and I came back to see my friends here, Jake is bigger. People ask me, ‘Is it one of the fights with a better payday for you?’
“It’s not, it’s okay, but the thing is, the opportunity to give him a beating this time.
“I’m fighting him because I want to beat him and that’s the most important thing to me… I love Mike Tyson and I’m the first guy to fight Jake after he beat Mike Tyson and I want to take revenge for Mike Tyson.”
