Jake Paul was able to fight for not one but two world titles in his next fight after he had been rejected with Zurdo Ramirez on Saturday evening.
The controversial social media star boxer had to overcome a late flurry of former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr to perhaps win the most difficult fight for his boxing career. In the meantime, Ramirez struggled in the Co-Main event with a 12-round decision victory in the 39-year-old Yuniel Dorticos.
