Mexican greats Julio César Chávez and Jorge “Travieso” Arce, will face each other for the third time in an exhibition fight at the Grand Hotel in Tijuana. It will take place on September 25, behind closed doors, with live PPV streaming. The event was officially announced at the WBC’s weekly “Coffee Tuesday” and will benefit vulnerable people in Tijuana and Culiacán, and grant scholarships to young people with addiction problems in the rehabilitation clinics of Julio César Chávez.
Also in action will be Julio’s sons. Julio César Chávez Jr will have an exhibition fight, while Omar Chavez will have an official eight-rounder. The transmission will be in high definition through the superboletos.com platform.
Ok, now this is getting out of hand. Now everybody is coming back. Chavez was supposedly just on his deathbed with Covid and now he’s fighting next month?
Should do good numbers with 3 generations of Hispanic Boxing fans familiar with the Chavez name.
Although this is a fundraiser it’s too much risk involved to throw fights that dont propel the sport. Tyson-Jones will, Chavez-Arce 3 wont
Chavez had Covid or Duran?
I hope this is as thrilling as exhibition I and exhibition 2!!
The back-and-forth action was beyond intense and had us all on the edge of our seats.
I’m looking forward to watching these two, brave Mexican warriors go at it again!
Funny name I remember these two legends doing actual exhibitions with their sparring gear on before this messed up pandemic and their safety didn’t seem like an issue cuz it is an exhibition but 2 of my favourite fighters ever Jones jr and Iron Mike seem like they want to fight for real ! Crazy ol Doggs!
Is there an “exhibition” virus going around? You know, the microbe that infects old retired boxers and gives them hope to come back for money, a lingering dream, and attention? Seems to be just as infectious as COVID-19.
Just like Tyson/Jones: YARN..ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
Yet you’re going to watch like everybody else so why are you bitchin.
Happy They’re getting to do what makes them feel good, I just hope all precautions are take.
Julio Jr. in an exhibition. Who is his opponent? Dr. Drew & the drug rehab staff.
