Hanging boxing gloves. Very low key and heavy shadows
Rapper NLE Choppa‘s foray into the world of boxing has set the internet abuzz. But it might not be necessarily for the reasons one might expect. In a recent video, the young rapper is seen taking a bizarre approach in a friendly bout in the ring. While the video was posted in January, it recently resurfaced, because, of course, nothing stays dead on the internet.
The video features Choppa sparring with a friend. While the rapper might be a master at his craft, this wasn’t the same for his attempts at sparring. In the video, Choppa is seen attempting to engage his opponent but is hit with blocks at every turn. Interestingly, as the video unfolds, his opponent attempts to fight back.
Faced with a lack of success throwing his punches, and visibly getting tired, the rapper decides to take a rather unorthodox route–he turns his back to his opponent and begins sprinting around the ring, all while wearing a smile on his face. Meanwhile, his opponent gives chase, creating a bizarre spectacle inside the boxing gym.

NLE Choppa’s Unconventional Boxing Style
Boxing isn’t everyone’s forte and it seems like Choppa is not going to be signed on to the UFC anytime soon. The rapper’s decision to square up once again appears to be short-lived, as he promptly resumes his evasive running tactics for a second time. This peculiar sequence of events leaves those present in the gym in stitches.
Despite the initial shock and amusement, NLE Choppa’s unconventional sparring strategy does have its silver lining. As the first round finally draws to a close, the rapper collapses onto the canvas, utterly exhausted. Calls for him to go for a second round ensue, suggesting that perhaps this unconventional approach has earned him some newfound respect, or at least entertained those in attendance.
