Who is Floyd Schofield? Record, stats and next fight as Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr undercard looms
Floyd Schofield will return to the ring on 28 June at the Honda Centre in Anaheim, on the Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Jr Chavez Jr undercard, to take on Tevin Farmer. This is the 22-year-old's first fight since he was forced to withdraw from his world-title shot against Shakur Stevenson, scheduled for February. Schofield arrived in Saudi Arabia a few days out from the fight and was hospitalised with an undisclosed illness, which forced his withdrawal. Taking on Farmer will be no easy comeback for Schofield, as the former IBF super-featherweight champion has been active against world-class opponents, including two fights against William Zepeda. Here is everything you need to know about Schofield ahead of his ring return this weekend. Who is Floyd Schofield? Nationality: United States Age: 22 Height: 5' 7' Schofield was born in Jersey City, but shortly thereafter moved to Austin, Texas, with his father. They were hit with hard times, suffering bouts of homelessness and being forced to beg for money. Floyd started boxing when he was eight years old and said that 'Sugar' Ray Robinson was his idol growing up. As an amateur, he won multiple national titles and built a record of 40-17 before turning professional in 2020, when he was just 18. Schofield campaigns at lightweight under Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions and has ambitions of becoming the youngest active world champion in boxing, a title currently held by Brian Norman Jr, who is 24. Watch over 185 fights a year from the world's best promoters with a DAZN subscription. More information here. What is Floyd Schofield's record? Schofield made his pro debut in late 2020 and dispatched Richard Esquibel in the first round. 2021 was the most active year of Schofield's career so far, as he raced to build an impressive 8-0 record, knocking out all but two of his opponents. The young Jersey-born fighter's potential was clear, and he graduated to taking on more-experienced opponents with winning records in 2022. He claimed the American Boxing Federation Intercontinental lightweight title by knocking out Julio Sanchez and defended it once, stopping Juan Antonio Lopez. Schofield continued to improve and began taking on 10-round fights against fringe world-level contenders, with his biggest wins coming against Daniel Rosas, who challenged for the WBO interim bantamweight belt, Alberto Mercado, whom he beat for the WBA International title, and Haskell Rhodes. The young American had the chance to show himself not just as an untested prospect, but a serious challenger on the world stage when he took on Rene Tellez Giron in November last year. On paper, it should have been a relatively easy night for Schofield. It was not until the 11th round that Giron landed a left hook that dropped a tiring Schofield. The young fighter managed to get to his feet, however, and went toe-to-toe with the Mexican brawler to seal a wide decision victory. When is Floyd Schofield's next fight? Schofield will return to the ring this weekend to take on former IBF super-featherweight champion Tevin Farmer, to put himself back into world-title contention at 135lb.

Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Full Card Info Revealed
It's not Canelo Alvarez, and it's not an exhibition with Gervonta Davis, but what we're learning more and more with each passing fight is, love it or hate it, it is still Jake Paul—and that's the special, polarizing ingredient. In late June, Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in the next chapter of both men's bizarre but compelling boxing journeys. This week, MVP announced more pieces to the card headed for the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The latest press release from MVP highlighted a huge lightweight bout added to the card. The undefeated Floyd Schofield will get the toughest task of his career when he faces Tevin Farmer. Schofield was originally supposed to fight Shakur Stevenson earlier this year, but he pulled out during fight week because of an illness. Farmer is coming off two tough losses to William Zepeda, who is now set to face Stevenson on July 12. Because of the connections, the fight makes sense for both men. 'First of all, I want to thank Golden Boy, MVP, and DAZN for the opportunity to come back on this stacked card,' said Schofield Jr. per the press release. 'Sharing the ring with former world champ Tevin Farmer is a huge opportunity for me to silence those who doubt me and my skills, and I know that I will come out with the win.' 'Kid Austin's about to learn—my skills are different than anything he's ever seen,' said Farmer. 'I'm knocking him out to teach him a lesson.' The addition of Holly Holm to the card was revealed on May 14 as she returns to boxing to take on the undefeated Yolanda Vega in a fight that will draw tons of attention from fans who know Holm primarily from her time in the UFC. In totality, the Paul–Chavez Jr. card, which is also strengthened by Zurdo Ramirez's unified title defense against Dorticós, makes this a strong summer boxing event. Be on the lookout for more information associated with Paul–Chavez Jr. and Taylor–Serrano III, which will also be promoted by MVP Promotions.
