The boxing world is dismayed by the early retirement of Julio César Chávez Jr.

Grain-Free Ring – The boxing world woke up in shock and with its gloves down after the announcement of Julio César Chávez Jr.'s early retirement.

With just a modest 16-year career and multiple attempts to take the sport seriously, the son of the "great Julio" decided to retire early, leaving the world without its great "next champion."

Julio César Chávez Jr. leaves a great void in the world of boxing.

“ It hasn't been an easy decision, but I think I have a better future now that I don't have to leave Mexico,” Julito said after being removed from a Disney park.

Chávez Jr., who managed to stay relevant thanks to his famous last name, his forgettable performances, and his cereal poisoning, confirmed his decision via a live broadcast from a semi-enclosed space where only a few bars were visible in the foreground, likely because he was in some technical high school at the time.

“It’s a sad day for boxing… and a very happy day for memes,” a World Boxing Council spokesperson declared while checking whether the U.S. system would still allow him to renew his visa.

The retirement comes after a string of significant losses, leaving the Sinaloa native with the need to get his cardio workouts in other ways, away from the ring and border crossings.
