Julio César Chávez Carrasco (born February 16, 1986 in Culiacan, Sinaloa), known in the English-speaking world as Julio César Chávez, Jr., is a Mexican boxer, the son of legendary boxing champion Julio César Chávez González and then-wife Amalia Carrasco. Chávez Jr. was born when his father was the WBC world Junior Lightweight champion.

His face became known to boxing fans when his father would take him and his brother into the ring as children, before each of Chávez Sr.'s fights. As a teenager, Chávez Jr. endured some difficult moments, including a publicized relationship between his father and actress Salma Hayek and the consequential divorce of his parents. He recently lived in Riverside Ca. with his cousin Edgar Calderon. Also with Alvaro Carrasco. And favorite cousin Dalia Carrasco.

Chávez Jr. lived in relative obscurity until he announced that he would follow in the footsteps of his father and become a boxer. After a relatively short amateur career, he began to box professionally at age 17. Many of his fights have been held during boxing programs that have been headed by his father; he has also been featured on the undercards of many major pay-per-view fights (rare for an up-and-coming fighter, but not unexpected in his case given his father's fame). He is considerably taller than his father.

Career

On September 26, 2003, Chávez Jr. began his professional career, outpointing Jonathan Hernandez over six rounds in Chávez Jr.'s native Culiacan.

Only two weeks later, on December 5, he had his first fight abroad, when he defeated Gerardo Penaflor by a four round unanimous decision, in Houston, Texas, United States.

Chávez Jr. set a fighting pace that was reminiscent of Chávez Sr.'s own pace when the latter was a younger man: in 2004, he fought eleven times, not having a fight only in August during that year:

  • On February 11, 2005, Chávez Jr. defeated Leroy Newton by a first round knockout at the convention center in San Diego.

Two weeks after that interview, on May 28 Chávez Jr. knocked out Adam Wynant in Los Angeles, after only 42 seconds of round one had gone by.
  • His next fight, on August 12, lasted only twelve seconds longer, as he beat Jonathan Nelson after only 54 seconds of round one at Laredo, Texas.
  • On September 17. he defeated Corey Alarcon by a second round knockout as part of his father's last fight's undercard, in Phoenix, Arizona.
  • His next fight would have taken place November 12 when he was to fight Grover Wiley, the man who defeated his father in Chávez Sr.'s final bout. However, that fight did not take place, and Chávez Jr. made two fights instead:
  • On October 10, he knocked Jeremy Stiers out in five rounds at Las Vegas.
  • On December 16, he was held to a six round draw (tie) by Carlos Molina in Monterrey, Mexico, the first non-win of his career.

Chávez Jr. and Molina had a rematch, on February 18, 2006 at Las Vegas, with Chávez Jr. obtaining a close six round majority decision (two scores of 58-56 and a score of 57-57).

  • On June 9, he knocked Grover Wiley out in three rounds at Madison Square Garden.
  • On April 26, 2008, Chavez defeated Tobias Loriga by knockout in the ninth round in the Plaza del Toros, Mexico.

After the fight Chávez Jr. opted that he may retire at the young age of 22.

  • On November 1, 2008 Chavez Jr. won by unanimous decision in his rematch with Matt Vanda in Las Vegas. There was no doubt as to the winner of this fight as the judges score cards showed 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92 all in favor of Chavez jr. who dominated the fight with boxing skill.
