Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr's undercard is looking strong after the addition of four new fights.

A WBA and WBO cruiserweight world title fight between champion Zurdo Ramirez and challenger Yuniel Dorticos has already been announced as chief support.

But the bill has been boosted further by the inclusion of a tremendous fight between Floyd Schofield Jr (18-0) and Tevin Farmer (33-8-1).

Schofield Jr is one of the lightweight division's most exciting young prospects while Farmer is a former IBF super featherweight title holder.

At 34-years-old Farmer proved he still has plenty left in the tank by causing top-rated contender William Zepeda all kinds of problems in a pair of nip-and-tuck defeats in November 2024 and March 2025.

Schofield, meanwhile, hasn't competed since his unanimous decision victory over Rene Tellez Giron last November.

He was due to return to the ring in February against Shakur Stevenson in a WBC lightweight title fight.

However, the bout got cancelled after Schofield Jr was deemed medically unfit to compete by doctors after coming down with a viral infection.


“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.”

Farmer added: “Kid Austin’s about to learn—my skills are different than anything he's ever seen.

“I’m knocking him out to teach him a lesson.”

Elsewhere on the bill, MVP's newest signee Avious Griffin (17-0) will take on Julian Rodriguez (23-1) in a welterweight clash while Raul Curiel (15-0-1) and Uruguay’s fellow undefeated fighter Victor Ezequie Rodriguez (16-0-1) compete in the same division.
