JAKE PAUL was called out by Julio Cesar Chavez Jr after the former world champion was booed for his performance.
Chavez Jr – son the legendary Mexican icon Julio Cesar Sr – returned in Florida against ex-UFC star Uriah Hall.
It was his first bout since losing to MMA great Anderson Silva in 2021.
And Chavez Jr – who formerly held the WBC middleweight title – laboured to a points decision.
He faced boos from the crowd but called out YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul – who later beat Mike Perry that night.
“Jake Paul, why not?” Chavez Jr responded when asked who he wants to fight next.
“I’m a better fighter than his opponents, that’s for sure.”
The pair have been linked with a fight before after Chavez Jr revealed he turned down over $2million.
And he even claimed he would RETIRE from boxing if he was to lose to Paul.
The American social media sensation is now 10-1 and moves onto his rescheduled November 15 against Mike Tyson.
