Julio Chavez Senior for BoxingScene
Julio is a champion and he’s a champion because he overcame a lot. Julio, yes, honestly, I feel proud, really, because after coming from such difficult, complicated years, to step into a ring and defeat those demons, you understand? What matters is that my son is healthy. He gave a good fight.
The fight between Paul and Chavez Junior headlined a boxing event on June 29 in Anaheim, USA, and ended in favor of Jake by unanimous decision from the judges.
