Jake Paul is set to fight former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 28. Ahead of that, the 28-year-old up-and-coming boxer spoke about his dream of capturing a world title.

At the recent pre-fight press conference for his next fight, Paul was questioned regarding his aspirations to be a world champion. In response, the YouTuber-turned-boxer expressed confidence in building an inspiring narrative for the young generation, saying:
