YouTube star Jake Paul and former NBA player Nate Robinson are engaging in a boxing match as an undercard to Mike Tyson’s return fight vs. Roy Jones Jr.
Paul, who is 1-0 as a professional boxer, has been trying to make a name for himself in the boxing world. Before becoming a professional boxer, he fought as an amatuer on his brother Logan’s first fight against KSI. In that fight, Paul took on KSI’s brother Deji and won.
When asked why he went from YouTube into boxing, Paul told The Daily Beast it’s partly because he loved sports in high school.
“For me it made perfect sense, because it took me back to my competitive high-school self, and I’ve fallen in love with boxing over the last three years,” Paul said. “I’ve had two fights already, and it’s something that’s really helped me stay focused on becoming the best version of myself.”
As for Robinson, his career change from retired NBA player to boxer also seems strange. But similar to Paul, Robinson is trying to prove himself as an athlete.
“I’ve been a fan of boxing my whole life. Me and my brother, we used to slap box and use boxing gloves in the backyard with my dad. So, it’s nothing new, it’s just real business now,” Robinson told ESPN. “I’ve played in front of thousands of people my whole life hooping, so just being able to step into a realm that I’ve never been in before is challenging for me, but it’s also fun to try to see how far I really can go with this.”
