Let’s start with AJ, the former two-time heavyweight champion of the world. This is a man who once headlined a stadium that holds 90,000 screaming Brits, who’s punched men so hard their grandkids felt it. Now, he’s reportedly in talks to fight Jake Paul—a Disney Channel refugee turned influencer pugilist who once knocked out a retired NBA player and a man who looked like a confused scarecrow.
And then there’s Jake Paul. Jake, bless his chemically preserved hairline, has built a career on being the loudest guy in the room while somehow convincing millions that he’s a legitimate athlete. He’s 5-0 against a collection of guys with day jobs, including a 52-year-old Anderson Silva and a mixed martial artist who forgot how to punch during the weigh-in. Still, the man has a YouTube channel and a mean right hook—what could go wrong?
