Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get weirder, YouTube stars are knocking out true athletes on the undercard of the fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. Well, it seems like this could be just the beginning of a new trend.

As it turns out, Jake Paul seems to think that he can make a living out of beating up NBA players on the ring. After completely humiliating Nate Robinson – who played himself and should have never even be there to begin with – he wants to try his luck vs. a much bigger rival.

That’s why the YouTuber wants to get in the ring with none other than LeBron James himself, and he went as far as to challenge him to a fight to try and see who the real king of Ohio is, according to his Twitter account.

Jake Paul Challenges LeBron James To A Boxing Fight

Paul boasts an ā€œimpressiveā€ 2-0 record thus far in his ā€˜career’ as a boxer. Obviously, given how much money he’s earned via Pay Per View, there’s no wonder why he wants to keep up this charade and fight whoever wants to get in the ring with him.

Some people claim that he’s just jealous that his brother Logan Paul got to fight with Floyd Mayweather – that’s not going to be pretty – so he’s looking for an even bigger media personality to fight with.

Surprisingly, LeBron James simply ignored Paul’s request, which is kind of shocking considering how active The King is on social media. Then again, there’s just no way he ever takes the challenge.

LeBron, who actually makes a living out of being an athlete, takes just too much care of his body to even risk suffering a minor injury from getting into a circus fight with a YouTube star. That’s just not going to happen. And they wonder why boxing’s dying.
