The Twitterverse was abuzz last night as Youtuber turned pro boxer Jake Paul stunned the boxing world with a sensational knockout of MMA fighter Tyrone Woodley in the 6th round.
Former Chiefs RB Le’Veon Bell(who played most recently with the Ravens couldn’t refrain from issuing a challenge of his own after the fight ended. His Tweet is a bit confusing because he seems to be insinuating that Tyrone Woodly is incapable of boxing but…He is?
While the challenge was entertaining unto itself, the responses to the challenge may have been even more enthralling.
This all makes you wonder where the market even is for boxing right now. Is the future of the sport simply going to include random celebrities/athletes fighting Youtubers? Would anyone even watch Le’Veon Bell in a professional fight? There is likely a large percentage of NFL fans that would hate watch Bell right into a devastating right hook that would unite him with a ring canvass in a hurry.
