Jake Paul makes easy work of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to improve to 12-1 in his boxing career. The World Boxing Association (WBA) has ranked Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) at No. 14 following his win Saturday over former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The social media influencer-turned-professional boxer is now eligible to challenge WBA cruiserweight champion Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez for a world championship. Before the fight, the WBA suggested that it would rank Paul if he defeated Chavez Paul, 28, outworked a listless Chavez (54-7-1) over 10 rounds to earn a unanimous decision at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
