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.

Enzo Maresca gives take on ‘strange' Chelsea CWC game in ‘almost empty stadium'
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca praised his players for dealing with a 'strange' environment after kicking off their Club World Cup campaign with a victory in front of almost 50,000 empty seats. The Blues beat Los Angeles FC 2-0 in their Group D opener at the 71,000-capacity Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in a fixture watched by a crowd of just 22,137 on Monday afternoon as a debate over the level of interest in FIFA's new-look competition raged on. Speaking at his post-match press conference, Maresca, said: 'I think the environment was a bit strange, the stadium was almost empty, not full. 'We are professional and we have to adapt to the situation, to the environment. You have to adapt when you play with a full stadium. You have to adapt when the stadium is not full, but it doesn't matter.' Asked about the poor attendance, opposite number Steve Cherundolo was diplomatic. The LAFC boss said: 'I think it is different each game you look at. In the Rose Bowl in LA, there was a huge crowd for the game between PSG and Atletico Madrid. Maybe LA likes football more than Atlanta? I don't know, we should judge at the end.' Maresca was nevertheless pleased with Chelsea's performance, but was already looking towards Friday's clash with Flamengo in Philadelphia. Pedro Neto broke the deadlock in the 34th minute to give the Premier League side a deserved lead at the interval, and they wrapped up victory in the 79th minute when summer signing Liam Delap crossed for fellow substitute Enzo Fernandez to tap in from close range. Maresca praised debutant Delap and quickly switched his attention to the fixture against Brazilian outfit Flamengo. He said on Channel 5: 'Very good result. At this stage of the season it is also normal that you have to manage different kinds of things. Overall the performance has been good. 'We have to recover. We have a game in three days so we will see. We are going to prepare in the best way and for sure try to win. 'The good thing about Liam is he knows the way we want to play so the process is quite quick. Also we gave a chance to Dario Essugo which is another player we have, so it's good for both of them.' Delap signed from Ipswich for £30million 12 days ago and it took him just 15 minutes to register his first goal contribution. The 22-year-old said: 'It's a really happy feeling for me. I'm so excited to be here and to play my first game, and be able to contribute is a good feeling. 'The team have welcomed me really well. I have only had a few sessions here but I am excited for more. 'It is good to help the team but I want to score some as well. 'It is always good to have competition, this is football. It is an incredible club and it is always going to be incredibly hard but you have to thrive off the competition.'

Geri's in pole position as she leads glamorous squad of F1 stars - including Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris - and their WAGS for the premiere of Brad Pitt's new racing movie
Geri and Christian Horner led the glamorous squad of F1 stars and their WAGS at the NYC premiere of Brad Pitt 's new racing movie on Monday. Of course they weren't the only big names on the red carpet, which was a who's who of both Hollywood and F1 stars. Real-life Formula One stars in attendance included Lewis Hamilton, who produces the film, as was Lando Norris and Yuki Tsunoda. The film stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver who has come out of retirement to compete alongside a rookie (Damson) and against the sport's biggest titans. For the occasion, Geri, 52, looked elegant in a white midi dress, with a cut-out chest detail and belt that cinched in her waist. She boosted her height in matching platform heels and accessorised with silver drop earrings. Real-life Formula One stars in attendance included Lewis Hamilton, who produces the film, as was Lando Norris and Yuki Tsunoda Meanwhile Christian, 51, cut a dapper figure in a navy suit, teamed with a crisp white shirt and black dress shoes. Elsewhere, Brad's age-gap girlfriend Ines de Ramon donned an extremely risque bridal-inspired look as she supported the star at the premiere. The Oscar winner, 61, looked smitten as he held hands with Ramon, 32, who flashed her cleavage and midriff in a busty sheer white top paired with a thick black belt. The racy ensemble also flashed her legs courtesy of a feathered sheer white skirt as she held hands with her long-term partner. Pitt ditched his midlife crisis makeover look for the evening, wearing a slick navy tailored suit. The bridal look comes after Pitt recently settled his painful eight year divorce battle with ex wife Angelina Jolie. Sunglasses in hand, Brad put on a charming display as he posed up a storm with his lady love by his side. Pitt has been keeping busy as he prepares for the release of his upcoming sports drama film F1 which will hit theaters later this month on June 27. Lewis later posed for a snap with Brad The actor is on a press tour to promote F1 - which also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem and Tobias Menzies, while the film itself was directed by Joseph Kosinski. But in addition to his newest film, his personal life has also made headlines. Earlier this week on Monday, Brad made a shock family remark amid the estrangement from his children that he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. Their divorce proceedings began in 2016 and following a lengthy battle, it was finalized late last year in November. He shares Zahara, 20, Maddox, 23, and Pax, 21 - whom he adopted with Jolie. The former couple also welcomed biological children Shiloh, 19, as well as twins Vivienne and Knox, 16. While attending the premiere of F1 in Mexico City, Brad briefly opened up on the importance of family during an interview with Entertainment Tonight . 'No matter the mistake, you just learn from [it] and move on. It'll lead to the next success,' he stated. 'When you get to my age, you realize how important it is to surround yourself with the people you love, the people that love you back.' Brad's age-gap girlfriend Ines de Ramon donned an extremely risque bridal-inspired look as she supported the star at the NYC premiere of his film F1 on Monday. The couple couldn't have looked any happier The actor continued, 'Friends, family, and that's it. From there, we get to go make things. It's a pretty simple, I think, equation.' It was also recently revealed that the Meet Joe Black actor believes his relationship with two of his children is 'unfixable.' Last year on her 18th birthday, their daughter Shiloh notably filed a petition to drop Pitt from her last name. At the time, a source told 'He knew this was coming and there is nothing he can do about it right now. It's sad but Brad's strained relationship with his kids and Angelina is just a way of life for him now.' However, the insider further explained that the actor has always left the door open if his estranged children wanted to reconnect. At the time, the insider added that the Hollywood star feels that some time after finalizing his divorce from Jolie that his biological kids 'will take a good look in the mirror and realize that their father is a part of them.' Pitt also recently broke his silence on his and Jolie's divorce for GQ's June 2025 issue amid promoting his new movie F1. 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing,' the star told the publication. 'Just something coming to fruition. Legally.' The Fight Club star then reflected on how his love life has been in the spotlight for decades. 'It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way.' Brad was also questioned if his red carpet debut with the jewelry designer last year at the 2024 British Grand Prix was a publicity stunt. 'No, dude, it's not that calculated,' Pitt replied. 'If you're living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.' The actor also reflected on fame by explaining, 'It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do. 'So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know. Mostly I feel pretty…. My life is fairly contained.' He continued, 'It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit.' Back in March, a source told People that Pitt is in a 'great place' with Ines de Ramon and added he is 'happy that the divorce is behind him.'

NFL WAG Kelly Stafford claims weed gummies make her a 'better parent' to four young children
She has her hands full raising four young children. Now Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, has candidly revealed the indulgence that helps her become a 'better parent' - weed gummies. Stafford, 36, confessed the candies help take the edge off after particularly long days and 'calm' her down. However she does wrestle with guilt over consuming the products. 'Gummies are great,' Kelly - who has twins Sawyer and Chandler, eight, plus Hunter, six, and Tyler, four, with her Super Bowl winning husband - said on latest episode of her podcast, The Morning After. 'Honestly... sometimes I feel like gummies make me a better parent,' she said, adding they 'calm' her down. 'It's like the glass of wine.' The conversation came about Kelly enjoyed a gummy from Buddies Cannabis, which she praised as her 'favorite.' 'I called it... the glass of patience, by the time you get to bed and bath, you just, it makes you a better parent,' guest Kit Hoover explained. 'Thank you. Thank you for saying that,' Kelly said. 'Cause I feel a little guilty saying it and it's not like I do it every night. 'But sometimes I'm like, "s***, it has been a long day,"' Kelly said. 'I don't want to rip my hair out or their hair out, so I'm going to just top it off with a little gummy,' she explained. Kit attempted to assuage her worry, insisting Stafford deserved the break. And Matthew, who Kelly says is no stranger to her moods, also has no qualms with her ending the day with the gummy. 'I mean, this is what Matthew always tell me... as long as they're in bed, fed and happy and feel loved, who cares how they get there,' she said of her husband. 'Get 'em there, and some days might be harder than others. 'And he's fine with it. Cause he also knows when I get on one, it could be rough for everybody, including him,' she said. Kelly has twins Sawyer and Chandler, eight, plus Hunter, six, and Tyler, four, with her Super Bowl winning husband The laughter she has shared with her children during these times also seems to help her overcome the guilt. 'I do feel a little guilt when I do that. But then like we laugh... oh my gosh my kids and I laugh, and I feel like they're like, "Mommy's nice tonight."' 'That means you're doing it right,' Kit assured her. 'If they're upset with you or say you're mean or you're whatever, that means you're doing it right.' Kelly said that while her moods alternate, there's a 'balance' to them: 'Some nights I'm really mean, some nights I'm really nice and I feel like that's good balance.'
