Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr start time, card and how to watch fight
Jake Paul returns to the ring to box Julio Cesar Chavez Jr next weekend, fighting for the first time since his controversial clash with Mike Tyson.
Paul has gone 11-1 as a boxer since making his pro debut in 2020, facing fellow YouTubers, mixed martial artists, and pro boxers along the way. All the while, he has received credit and criticism, but more so the latter, especially as he fought a 58-year-old Tyson in November.
Paul, 28, outpointed the former heavyweight champion yet admitted to holding back, and now he prepares to face another ex-world champion: Chavez Jr, son of the legendary Julio Cesar Sr.
Chavez Jr, 39, improved his hefty record to 54-6-1 by outpointing UFC alum Uriah Hall across six rounds last July, but just four years ago, he suffered a surprising decision loss to UFC legend Anderson Silva.

BREAKING NEWS Troubled NFL star Damon Arnette arrested on gun and meth charges last year signs with the Houston Texans
The Houston Texans have signed troubled free-agent cornerback Damon Arnette after he revived his dormant pro football career with the UFL's Houston Roughnecks following a series of disturbing arrests. Arnette was one of two Las Vegas Raiders first-round picks in 2020 to ultimately be released amid serious legal problems. While receiver Henry Ruggs III remains in prison for the 2021 drunk-driving crash that killed 23-year-old Tina Tintor, Arnette has been accused of litany of crimes: Fleeing the scene of a vehicular collision, brandishing a firearm and making death threats, assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, several drug charges and driving on a suspended license. Most recently, in January of 2024, Arnette was picked up in Richardson, Texas and charged with possession of methamphetamine and unlawful carrying of a firearm. MORE TO FOLLOW...

Post-Ozempic Lizzo leaves fans baffled with bizarre first pitch at Dodgers game
American singer and rapper Lizzo was on hand with an unusual first pitch before the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the San Diego Padres on Thursday night. After being invited to take part in the traditional pregame ceremony at Dodger Stadium, Lizzo left fans baffled with her bizarre approach to pitching in LA. She first took her place on the mound as Dodgers star Mookie Betts waited in preparation to take the catch, only to run forward in her huge white high heels while pretending to throw the ball twice. The 37-year-old, who recently admitted to briefly using Ozempic to aid in her extreme weight loss transformation, then turned around and ran back to the mound, before finally producing a respectable pitch into Betts which bounced before finding his glove. A number of fans were left confused by her two fake throws, with one writing on X: 'The longest, [most] pointless and stupidest first pitch ever'. Another commented: 'So stupid. Stop trying to make it about you'. While a third simply asked: 'What the f**k Is this?' Lizzo just threw out a very interesting first pitch at Dodger Stadium 🤣 — Dodgers Nation (@DodgersNation) June 20, 2025 Others, however, saw the funny side of Lizzo's twist on pitching. 'Love it,' one fan commented. Another joked about the Dodgers: 'We need her to start'. 'Still better than 50 cent,' a third said while referencing the rapper's infamous first pitch at a 2014 New York Mets game, widely considered one of the worst of all time. Lizzo, who has confidently showed off her slimmer frame on social media of late, opened up about her Ozempic experiment during Thursday's episode of Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast. The Grammy winner explained that she started to take the GLP-1 medication at the beginning of her weight loss journey in 2023, but soon came to the conclusion that it wouldn't help her in the long term. 'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full.' Lizzo then added, 'But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.'
