Julio Cesar Chavez Jr will be confident to beat Jake Paul in their upcoming fight, but a former world champion has warned what he should do to win.
Jake Paul will challenge Julio Cesar Chavez JR in a huge fight on 28 June, in what could be the most difficult competition of the social media star.
Paul comes from the back of a victory over Mike Tyson and beats him against the former world's heavyweight world champion through a unanimous decision after eight rounds.
Chavez Jr, however, is two decades younger than Tyson, and another former world champion knows what the Mexican should do to put Paul in his mark.

Jose Luis Castillo explains how Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Jake Paul can beat
Former WBC Lightweight Champion Jose Luis Castillo supports Chavez JR to beat Paul, but gave him what he had to do to defeat him.
In an interview with El Cinch, the dual world champion Paul called a “four-to-six round boxer” and Chavez JR advised to “use his Savvy” to bring down the social media star.
Castillo added that he thinks that Chavez's 62 fighter experience will be the difference between the two hunters in the night.
“Well, Jake Paul is actually a boxer of four or six rounds. Julio has the experience; he hits hard. He is knocked down, but he can take it.
“What he has to do is a bit smart and his smart use. The longer the fight goes, the more the Julio benefits.
“Maybe Julio's experience is what will help him continue if he prepares well.
“A victory for Chávez Jr. would be like a gold bar that falls on his lap. It would reopen doors for him in the boxing world.”
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr has called the 'Four Killers' that he wants to face after he defeated Jake Paul
Chavez Jr is very confident to defeat Paul, because the 39-year-old has already mentioned the hunters he wants to hire after winning against the YouTuber.
Speaking with Ariel Helwani, Chavez called Jr four hunters that he likes to meet and called 'murderers' in the ring.
“I want to fight against a rematch with Jake Paul. A rematch with Jake Paul is a cash fight, so that's why I don't want to say no to this thing,” said Chavez Jr.
“Really, what I want is to fight the best. I would like to fight 'Zurdo' Ramirez. I would like to fight against a Cruiserweight champion. [Jai] Opetaia is a super, super strong guy.
“I am here because I want to fight best. If Opetaia offered me, if Ramirez, after this fight or another fight, am, I am there.
“I am ready to fight Bivol at Cruiserweight or the other man, Beterbiev. That's my goal. They are murderers.”
