Lucky you. He's a 'YouTuber' and fought another youtuber and I think he actually lost that fight too

I think it was his brother who lost Logan Paul , he is the more famous of the two,

Jake actually takes boxing serious and is actually quite decent to be fair to him,
He is what would call a good boxer if he sparred in most gyms up and down the country but I'm not for one second suggesting he's should be any where near pay per view boxing or TV standard

Heard he was a good college wrestler too. Isn't there videos of him scrambling with Ngannu and he actually looks decent

That's the older brother Logan he was a good wrestler in college , he is the more famous of them I believe,
The younger one is the decent boxer he's Jake, Now when I say decent I say for a lad who hadn't boxed all his life of course there are levels to it

He's fighting an ex NBA player the weekend be interesting as Nat Robinson was an absolute phenomenal athlete 3 time slam dunk champion and he is only 5'9

God knows if he can box,

Which brother was it that got dropped by Paulo Costa? There was also a clip of them wrestling. It was a short clip, but he seemed to know what he was doing.
Let him fight CM Punk.

CM Punk against Mike Jackson was one of the worst things I've ever seen on UFC.

Mike Jackson, himself a complete amateur nobody, looked like Jon Jones in there.

Exactly. Youtuber vs wwe wrestler makes more sense than vs elite UFC fighter.

He’s fought other non boxers in amateur sports. Not a hope it gets sanctioned but vrs a pro fighter.
This just purely to string up media coverage ahead of some fight vrs the next random athletic influencer.

In other news Mark Hunt is fighting Paul Gallen (former Aussie rugby player). He’s undefeated in 10 pro fights. But we’re nowhere elite.

Technical and factually tonights fight is his second pro boxing fight, his last one was sanctioned and so is tonights
Make of that what you will

Remember one of the Dublin mcgees fought that Aussie snooker bellend?

US2 · 04-12-2020 2:13am

I see Khabib says he'll only return if he gets mother's permission. If he's genuine not fighting again I think he'll drop the belt right after McGregor's fight

“Hann also fought Dublin GAA player, Johnny Magee, in a charity boxing match in Dublin in September 2004 after He suggested that Gaelic footballers were not as robust as Australia rules footballers. He had his nose broken, with Magee winning in three rounds.”

What a way to prove that footballers aren't as robust as Aussie Rules players are though...by putting a footballer in with a smoker player.

Ireland won the international rules matches that year as well. Think was the same year there was the big brawl before the throw in.

Was a bit bizarre alright. For arguments sake, lets say AFL players are tougher - Hann certainly believed they were - how did he make the jump to thinking snooker players where somehow as tough. He has beaten another snooker player in a boxing match previous, gave him false confidence perhaps.
