YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul never hesitates to take on new challenges, whether it’s in boxing or other sports. Now, he’s preparing to face heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in a boxing match. Although he’s receiving criticism for fighting an older opponent, this will undoubtedly be one of the biggest bouts of his career. However, ahead of the bout, Logan Paul released an old video of ‘The Problem Child’ running at an impressive speed, urging him to compete against IShowSpeed in a running race.
Logan Paul posted a five-year-old video from the Challenger Games, a charity sports event where numerous YouTubers competed. In the running race, YouTuber Deestroying claimed first place, while Jake Paul finished in third, only one second behind. Logan took the video to social media, suggesting that his younger brother, now a boxer, could outrun IShowSpeed in a race.
IShowSpeed is known for his speed, having even beaten KSI in a race, a video that went viral with millions of views. He’s constantly doing new and exciting things on his YouTube live streams, like recently jumping over a Lamborghini. These stunts keep him highly relevant on social media.
Additionally, Speed is signed with Logan Paul’s beverage company, Prime, which makes a race between Jake Paul and Speed a real possibility. If it happens, it’s sure to generate millions of views once again. Meanwhile, the 27-year-old is preparing for his fight against Tyson. Fans are buzzing about the match, although the significant age gap between the two is a major topic of conversation. Nevertheless, the fight is still set to go ahead.
