Two new names have entered
The Ring's divisional rankings after another bumper weekend of boxing.
On Saturday in Anaheim, California, Jake Paul returned to the ring and took on a faded Julio Cesar Chavez Jr,
beating the former middleweight world champion by unanimous decision.
On the undercard, Floyd Schofield stunned the masses with an emphatic
first-round stoppage of Tevin Farmer, who had put up two very competitive performances in consecutive defeats to William Zepeda in March and November.
In Laval, Quebec, Canada, Michal Cieslak stopped 42-year-old Jean Pascal in the fourth round. Over in Quebec City, 166 miles away,
Christian Mbilli destroyed Maciej Sulecki in one round. In Hull, England, Bradley Rea became the new European champion with a close
unanimous decision over Shakan Pitters.
