Although Chavez has not been actively boxing since 2019, he has turned heads in his latest bout against Uriah Hall in 2024, winning via unanimous decision.
Jake has not faced an opponent as accomplished as Chavez, and while much older, his experience outweighs that of Tommy Fury, Jake's only loss. Will Chavez's skills provide a challenge? Or could he potentially be the one to hand Jake his second loss?
