Undefeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) has been working out feverishly in training camp to prepare for his June 4th fight against WBC middleweight champion Sebastian Zbik (30-0, 10 KO’s) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Chavez Jr. will be fighting for a major world title for the first time in his eight-year pro career.
