LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Jake Paul acknowledged his upcoming fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will be a step up from his previous opponents but the former Disney star said on Wednesday he would embarrass the Mexican in the ring and make him quit.

Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) has mainly boxed mixed martial arts fighters and a 58-year-old over Mike Tyson since making the switch from YouTube influencer to professional boxing.
