'Let's see who the real King of Ohio is?': Jake Paul challenges Lakers' LeBron James to a boxing match

After winning his fight with Nate Robinson, Jake Paul wants nothing to do with LeBron James in a ring.

Earlier today, 3x Slam Dunk champion Nate Robinson fought YouTube sensation, Jake Paul. Robinson had challenged Paul earlier this year, and there had been a lot of back and forth between the two throughout the year. The NBA fraternity was rooting for their own Nate Robinson and hoping he would win.

Unfortunately, things did not pan out as the NBA players would have hoped. The 6’1″, 23-year-old Jake Paul obviously had a height and youth advantage over the 5’9″. 36-year-old Robinson.

Paul finished the fight in the second round, with a KO punch to end the first fight of a doubleheader.

Jake Paul wants nothing to do with LeBron James

The Ohio, Cleveland native Jake Paul wants no smoke with Cleveland’s favorite, LeBron James. After his victory over Robinson, he was asked if he would think about taking on the LA Lakers’ superstar LeBron James. To this, he laughed off the idea while saying, “Oh sh*t, he’s too big”.

Jake Paul may have won against a smaller Robinson, but the King is way out of his league. A 6’8″, 260 pound super athlete like LeBron James cannot be taken lightly, in any sense. Even though Paul may have more experience in the ring, ‘King James’ won’t be a pushover in the ring and could very well emerge victorious from the duel as well.

After the victory tonight, it seems like Jake Paul is done fighting NBA players for the time being. However, the 23 y/o is far from done challenging people for fights. One thing is certain though, Jake Paul won’t dream of taking on LeBron James, now or in the future.
