Jake Paul and his brother Logan will be the next big names in boxing. Now, I know that the first line of this blog is going to annoy and maybe even outrage a lot of people, and so does the video below where I explain why.
Jake Paul, a YouTube star, just had his second pro fight against Nate Jones, who is a former 10-year NBA veteran. In a terrible discrepancy (Boxing news asks how Jones got a license here) Jake knocked him out in the second round. After the fight, he called out Conor McGregor. This is just days after this brother Logan called out Floyd Mayweather!
But I truly believe that these fights will happen, and when they do, guess what, Jake and Logan will be the most talked about names in boxing, whether you like it or not.
These YouTubers are doing boxing well, bringing many more viewers to the sport. Mike Tyson said in his post-show interview that boxing was dying because of the UFC until YouTubers started boxing. Now I don't think that's true, but they bring a million new eyes to boxing, which I think is great.
Check out this video where I talk about the Jake Paul fight and why I think a match with Conor will happen in the near future:
