Jake Paul boxing tonight: TV channel, live stream, UK start time and fight card
Jake Paul returns to the ring tonight against son-of-a-legend Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in what could be the YouTuber's toughest fight yet
Jake Paul takes on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr tonight - and victory could land him a world title shot.
Paul has built up his record mainly by taking on retired MMA fighters and YouTube stars but in Chavez Jr he faces a former world champion. And victory will likely see Paul ranked by at least one governing body, allowing them to hand him a shot at their cruiserweight champion.
But Chavez Jr will be looking to avoid what he would see as an embarrassing defeat by the social media star. He has fought just once in the last four years - labouring to a points win over former UFC star Uriah Hall. Here is everything you need to know about tonight's fight, including the start time and how to watch...

With the fight being staged in California, this will be 8.30pm local time so don't be surprised if the fight actually gets underway closer to 5am UK time.

Full fight card, undercard and UK start times
Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr - 4.30am
Jake Paul, who boldly and perhaps absurdly claims to be the face of boxing, will need to stylishly defeat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr to validate his audacious claim. It's been over two years since Paul faced a 'genuine' boxer, Tommy Fury, and he now faces a significant step up from 58 year old Mike Tyson, whom he outscored last November. However, Chavez Jr has been largely inactive, having fought only once in the past four years, scraping a victory over ex-UFC star Uriah Hall.
Gilberto Ramirez vs Yuniel Dorticos - 3.30am
If both men triumph in their respective bouts tonight, Gilberto Ramirez could be the one to give Jake Paul his dream world title shot. Before Paul steps into the ring against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Ramirez will defend his cruiserweight world title against Yuniel Dorticos, a former champion himself. Having won three consecutive fights after his sole career loss to Dmitry Bivol, Ramirez is the favourite for tonight's match.
Floyd Schofield vs Tevin Farmer - 2.30am
Floyd Schofield was scheduled to fight Shakur Stevenson earlier this year but withdrew during fight week due to illness. Instead, he'll face veteran Tevin Farmer tonight, aiming to put on a spectacular performance to secure another high-profile bout. Schofield risks his undefeated record against Farmer, who has lost his last three fights and is eager to make a stylish comeback.
Avious Griffin vs Julian Rodriguez - 1.45am
With just one defeat in 40 fights between them, there's a lot at stake tonight. Avious Griffin remains undefeated in his career, having won all 17 of his bouts and knocked out all but one of his opponents. Julian Rodriguez, who has only fought three times since his loss to Jose Pedraza in 2021, needs a win tonight to reignite his career.
Raul Curiel vs Victor Ezequiel Rodriguez - 1am
Two unbeaten fighters start the pay-per-view segment of the fight card, with both men winning all but one of their fights - the other being a draw. Raul Curiel was held to a draw in his last bout just before Christmas, while Victor Ezequiel Rodriguez has claimed four victories since his sole setback in 2023.
Holly Holm vs Yolanda Guadalupe Vega Ochoa Victor Morales vs Rene Alvarado Joel Iriarte vs Kevin Johnson Joshua Edwards vs Dominicc Hardy John Ramirez vs Joahnys Argilagos Alexander Gueche vs Vincent Avina
Quotes corner
Jake Paul:"He's a great fighter. I like big names, legendary names, and he's on my path to a world championship. This is a tough test, a very tough test, but I'm here to challenge myself and do big things in this sport and then make a title run after I beat him. He's coming in prepared. They're saying this is the hardest he's ever trained, and he's right…I'm not a good boxer. I'm a great boxer."
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr:"I don't think he's good. I think he tries, he trains hard, but he's not a good fighter. He's definitely not a good boxer. If he were a good boxer, then everyone else on this stage would be a legend. I don't think he's a good boxer, and everybody knows that. My preparation, I always prepare to take a win. I'm here to win and that's why I'm so confident that I will win."

I lived on baby food for a WEEK - what it did to my body shocked me
A YouTuber has gone viral after claiming he lost a dramatic amount of weight in just five days—by eating nothing but food and drinks designed for babies. San Diego-based Michael Alves, a former college football player, tried the so-called 'baby food diet' in a self-imposed challenge posted to his YouTube channel, Killdozer. The video has racked up more than 820,000 views and documents the 26-year-old surviving on pouches, purees and formula drinks for the best part of a week. Before starting, Alves lays out strict ground rules: everything he eats must be made for babies or toddlers. Drinks must come in child-sized bottles, and all meals must be consumed using baby utensils—including a novelty cow-shaped 'spork'. By the end of the experiment, Alves claims he dropped from 18st 2lb (254lbs) to 17st 10lb (248lbs)—almost half a stone—adding that the experience made him feel constantly hungry, demoralised, and at times physically unwell. 'This challenge sucks,' he says in the video at one point. 'I really don't want to eat any more baby food.' Alves, who has gained more than 500,000 subscribers for his humorous gaming and lifestyle content, appears shirtless at the start of the video for a weigh in and 'physique check'. He is optimistic, claiming baby food 'must have loads of protein because children need protein... I think.' But his enthusiasm quickly dissipates. 'There's no protein in anything here,' he says in disbelief while shopping the baby aisle at Target. 'Do babies not need protein?' Over five days, Alves samples everything from toddler snacks to infant formula and squeezable meat purées—with mixed and mostly negative results. Many of the meals left him visibly recoiling. The mashed carrots, he said, were 'diabolical,' adding: 'Zero flavour at all. And they almost melt immediately in your mouth.' The macaroni and cheese fared little better: 'The noodles immediately disintegrate... and the cheese? Not very flavourful.' Even the infant formula drink he chose proved unbarable. After one sip, he grimaced: 'What the hell are we giving our kids? This tastes like poison.' Only one dish—mashed potatoes with beef and gravy—earned faint praise. 'It still tastes like baby food, but it also does taste like beef. So it's a double whammy.' He adds: 'These meals taste like they were made by aliens.' Alves did, however, enjoy toddler crisps, including a packet of garden salsa puffs which he awarded 9.2 out of 10, calling them the best thing he ate all week. To supplement the low-calorie meals, he also added regular exercise—taking part in hikes wearing a weighted vest, gym sessions and long walks, often with his wife Jessica, 27. Although the final weigh-in confirms he's 6lb lighter, Alves says he suspects much of the weight loss may be water rather than fat. With barely any salt or carbs, the baby food diet left his body flushing out water and burning through its energy reserves. He adds that the sheer lack of flavour in most of the products he consumed made it impossible to overeat. 'I'm starving,' he says at the end of day five. He gives the overall experience a score of 3/10, noting: 'If I didn't have the snacks or Pedialyte [baby formula rehydration drinks], it would've been a one.' Nutrition experts would be unlikely to recommend the plan. Baby food is designed for small children with developing digestive systems and contains limited salt, spices and fibre—not to mention little in the way of protein, unless fortified. Alves notes that even the baby yoghurts he tried were labelled as 'not containing live cultures,' meaning they were shelf-stable and lacked the gut-friendly bacteria found in regular yoghurt. 'I really thought this would be better,' he says. 'Even the formula tastes like poison. What are we giving our kids?' The challenge ends with Alves rewarding himself with a burrito, saying: 'We've got to start giving these to babies.' Alves has seen a rapid rise in fame over the past year, transitioning from sport to streaming. As a former offensive lineman for UCLA, he began posting gaming content and challenge videos under the name Killdozer in early 2025. His fanbase – known affectionately as 'Dozer Purists' – have praised the video's humour, but even die-hard supporters seem unlikely to replicate the diet themselves. 'Please do not do the baby food diet,' he says. 'I'm so glad I only did five days and not seven.' The baby‑food stunt follows another extreme diet challenge that made waves earlier this year. Alves himself has previously gone viral, after consuming nothing but protein shakes for a week. And Oklahoma City based YouTuber Joshua Allard, 25, gained attention after attempting to eat 150 eggs in five days. Allard said the egg-only diet left him bloated, tired and eating up to 30 eggs a day, but also noted unexpected benefits such as improved sleep and reduced appetite. The challenge sparked huge interest online, along with warnings from nutritionists who said such restrictive eating plans are unsustainable and lack essential nutrients. Like Alves's baby food challenge, it showed how extreme diets can lead to short-term weight loss—but may come with side effects and should not be taken as health advice.

Holly Valance 'lonely and living separate life from husband years before split'
Kiss Kiss singer Holly Valance and her billionaire husband Nick Candy have confirmed they are splitting after 13 years of marriage amid claims they've been living separately Holly Valance was reportedly living a separate life from her British billionaire husband for years before they announced their official split. The ex-Neighbours star tied the knot with Nick Candy back in 2012 and the pair share two daughters, Luka Violet Toni, 13, and seven-year-old Nova Skye Coco. But now the former power couple look set to divorce after 13 years of marriage. And it's said that Kiss Kiss singer Holly, 42, and property tycoon Nick, 52 - who is also the treasurer of the Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage - haven't been together for a 'long time.' The pair were last pictured together in March having a swanky lunch in London, with Holly dressed head-to-toe in Chanel and carrying a £2,300 Christian Dior tote bag. Prior to that they were seen publicly supporting Farage at Reform UK conferences after Nick switched allegiance from the Tory party last year - and rubbing shoulders with US President Donald Trump. Used to enjoying a lavish lifestyle, Holly and Nick once lived in a 'superluxe' Hyde Park penthouse worth £175million, thought to be the UK's most expensive flat. The two-storey pad is said to have five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a state-of-the-art gym, spa, 21-metre lap pool, private cinema, cocktail bar, wine cellar, a golf simulator, media room, two terraces - and also include valet and room service from the five-star Mandarin Oriental hotel next door. They are also said to own a £75 million mansion in Chelsea and a £10 million country pile in the Cotswolds. In 2020, Nick even gifted his wife a £26 million superyacht - even though she suffers from sea sickness. Holly was reportedly treated by celebrity hypnotist Paul McKenna so she could enjoy her lavish present. Though it seems money can't buy you happiness, as a source claimed Holly had been living a 'lonely life' in recent years. A source told MailOnline: "They have been living separate lives for a long time, he's travelling a lot and it's been a lonely life for Holly. Nick has businesses in Dubai and London, The Reform Party." The ex-couple are said to want to keep things private out of respect for their family. A friend said: "This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly. The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority." The source added to The Sun: "They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance. This is a family matter and they're doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what's best for the family." A spokesman for the couple told the Mirror: "This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment." Most people will remember Holly for playing Felicity 'Flick' Scully in Neighbours, which she landed when she was just 16. By the time she was 19 she'd launched a singing career and released her debut album Footprints in 2002, featuring Number 1 hits like Kiss Kiss. Her second album State of Mind came out two years later, but didn't do quite as well. Holly announced she was turning her back on music in 2004 and went to LA to pursue an acting career in Hollywood. She went on to star in hit US prison drama Prison Break and episodes of CSI: Miami and Entourage, as well as the movie Taken alongside Liam Neeson. Back in the UK, the British-Australian star - who has dual nationality - appeared in the 2011 series of Strictly Come Dancing where she was partnered with pro dancer Artem Chigvintsev. The pair managed to reach the semi-finals and finished in fourth place. Since then, mum-of-two Holly has remained largely out of the spotlight until her recent political appearances supporting the far-right Reform party. She has been credited for 'whispering in his ear' and encouraging Nigel Farage to stand for British Prime Minister, as well as given huge donations to the party. And she's said to have helped raise millions for Trump stateside. Expressing her political views at a PopCon - Popular Conservatism - conference last year, she told GB News: "Everyone starts off as a lefty and then wakes up at some point and realises what crap ideas they all are."

Major Lawrence Shankland update as Hearts jet out to Spain for pre-season training camp
HEARTS are jetting off to Spain this morning for their pre-season training camp WITHOUT striker Lawrence Shankland. Jambos boss Derek McInnes had hoped to persuade him to commit to the Tynecastle club in a further round of talks this week. Advertisement 2 Lawrence Shankland is a key Hearts transfer target Credit: Alamy 2 Derek McInnes and his squad jet out to Spain today Credit: Shutterstock Editorial And he made it clear he wanted him to join his players on their summer trip. But Del's discussions have failed to reach a positive outcome and further doubt over Shankland's future at Hearts has now grown. The 29-year-old is out of contract so free to move elsewhere and has options in both England and abroad. McInnes has been reluctant to put a timescale on when he needs the Scotland striker to make his mind up - but has warned he won't wait much longer. Advertisement He remains convinced staying put is Shankland's best option and has made several pleas to the ex-Dundee United and Aberdeen forward in an attempt to secure him for next season. But with the Jambos players flying to Spain early this morning without Shankland as part of the party, the chances of him signing a new deal appear to be plummeting. McInnes has already added striker Claudio Braga in this window, with Elton Kabangu's loan from USG made permanent. While the door on Shankland is unlikely to be closed completely on the back of his decision to stay put in Scotland, the Jambos are ready to crank up their search for his replacement in the coming days. Advertisement The striker was last sighted undergoing some additional pre-pre-season training in Dubai in the company of none other than Rangers captain James Tavernier. He's had a busy summer already, after tying the knot with his new wife Nicole at a plush Scottish wedding venue at the end of last month. Rangers transfer special including Coady latest, why Turgeman move could be off & why Shankland's a no-brainer He's also been linked with a move to West Brom in England. Links between him and Rangers have gone cold recently with a new broom at Ibrox since the Andrew Cavenagh/49ers Enterprises takeover, but the sight of Shankland training with Tavernier made many Gers fans curious enough at least to see if something could still happen on the transfer front.
