Julio César Chávez Carrasco (born February 16, 1986 in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico) is an undefeated Mexican professional boxer and the current WBC Middleweight Champion. He's the son of retired boxing champion Julio César Chávez and older brother of welterweight Omar Chávez.
Julio was born in the city of Culiacán. He was born when his father held the WBC World Championship at super featherweight. His face became known to boxing fans when his father would take him and his brother Omar 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. Chávez Jr. lived in relative obscurity until he announced that he would follow in the footsteps of his father and become a boxer.
