Can Tfue knock out Jake Paul?

Before Ben Askren, Jake Paul had faced his fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, and a professional Basketball player, Nate Robinson, in his professional boxing career. To everyone’s surprise, he won both the fights by knocking out his opponents in the initial rounds.

It is too early to judge Jake Paul as a professional boxer. However, it is evident that consistent hard work and passion for the sport have made him a better fighter. Following a similar approach, even Tfue can grind hard and become a tough boxer.

A fan, on Twitter, claimed that it’s up to Tfue to knock out Jake Paul now.

Over the years of his career as a Twitch streamer and professional gamer, Tfue has also shown a keen interest in fighting. Back in February 2020, Ninja had challenged Tfue to a boxing match.

Tfue had not only accepted the challenge but flaunted his grappling skills and workout in a reply video.

Fans never got to witness a fight between Ninja and Tfue. Regardless, a boxing bout between him and Jake can definitely compensate for it.
