TikTok Star Vincent Gigante Follows Jake Paul Into Boxing

Jake Paul has really been a force of inspiration for several people trying to enter the boxing ride and Vincent Gigante may be the latest one to follow in his footsteps. While Paul scored his 4 KO against Tyron Woodley on December 18, to go 5-0 as a boxer, Gigante seems to have outlined his own plans in the sport.

Well, Paul aims to become a world champion and is taking the sport seriously, unlike many other celebrity pugilists. Hence, it’s unclear whether TikTok influenced Vincent Gigante also has the same motive. But he clearly wants to end 2021 with a boxing achievement under his name.

The social media celeb has a near 2 million followers on Tik Tok, and a potential move to the boxing ring can expand his aura. He is reportedly looking to set up matchups for Christmas and has already found himself an opponent.

Per reports, Gigante will face debutant Robbie Rose in his debut. And fans expect both the Americans to unveil an intriguing matchup. Traditional fans can still avoid buying the fight for lacking the top-tier essence of boxing. But Dylan Wanagiel, the Vice-President of Prudential Center, is optimistic about seeing a successful event. Relying on Gigante’s social media fame, he has shown complete support for the event.

They will hold the matchup at 147 lbs (66 KG), in the welterweight division under the PBC Christmas Fight Night event. Prudential Center will host it at Newark, in New Jersey, the United States of America. While both men will enter the ring on the same scale, it will be interesting to see how the fight turns out.

Can Vincent Gigante be the next Jake Paul?

On looking at the umpteen number of social media boxing events, we can actually note how Jake Paul has been the best from the slot. ‘The Problem Child’ has knocked out two former MMA champions in-ring, and despite facing no pro-boxer, he is still raking his spot amongst the best. The other YouTubers, like Logan Paul and KSI, are nowhere near Jake Paul’s charisma.

Thus, Vincent Gigante will have to craft a big plan to hold a similar spot with Jake Paul in the mix.
