The chaotic career of Julio Cesar Chavez Junior struck yet another low point this week, when it was announced that he would no longer be fighting on the Showtime televised card shown prior to the December 1 pay-per-view heavyweight bout between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. He was scheduled to fight veteran slugger Alfredo Angulo.
Chavez’s father and boxing legend, Julio, Sr., and his team didn’t believe Chavez Jr. was ready to return to the ring. Chavez, Jr. will return at some time in the future. Angulo will still appear in a bout on the undercard.
This is another setback in the career of Chavez Junior, who has lost both opportunities and fights due to his lack of professionalism and weight issues.
Top super welterweight contender Julian “J-Rock’’ Williams now will take on Mexico’s Javier Francisco Castro in a 10-round bout that has been added to an exciting night of undercard action on Saturday at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.
Williams (25-1-1, 15 KOs) is back in the title picture at 154-pounds since his only defeat pro defeat, a loss to Jermall Charlo in a 2016 title fight. Since that setback, the 28-year-old of Philadelphia has rattled off three straight victories, including triumphs over former champion Ishe Smith and hard-hitting contender Nathaniel Gallimore.
The 34-year-old Castro (28-8, 23 KOs), who is from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico is coming off a TKO victory over Carlos Urrea in his last fight in 2017 and has challenged Errol Spence Jr. amongst his 36 pro fights.
