‘That Right Hand Sounds Like Gunshots’: Fans at Crossroads as Ali Eson Gib Displays His Boxing Skills in Latest Training Video Ahead of Austin McBroom Fight

Boxing is no longer confined to just professional fighters, even internet personalities, and other celebrities now participate in exhibition matches. British Youtuber Ali Eson Gib turned into a professional boxer in 2020 and lost his first fight through a knockout by Jake Paul. The Brit is now set for his second professional fight against Austin McBroom.

Upcoming boxing match that might change fans’ perspective about celebrity boxers 

American Youtuber Jake Paul has been the poster boy of celebrity boxing since he first tiptoed inside the ring in 2018. However, now ‘The Problem Child’ aims to get into bigger fights and earn a world title himself. He was supposed to fight Tommy Fury on August 6th at the Madison Square Garden in New York City. However, it was canceled, and Hasim Rahman Jr. came as a replacement, and even that fight got canceled. 

Apparently, Paul now has a formidable opponent who could break Paul’s unbeatable 5-0 record. The 25-year-old will go up against Brazilian UFC legend Anderson Silva on October 29th. Although the former has an age advantage, Silva’s experience and fighting prowess might be a huge obstacle in front of Paul. Paul is often trolled for not fighting a “real fighter”. But if he defeats Silva, it might change how the world looks at him and celebrity boxers.
