Fans never got to witness a fight between Ninja and Tfue. Regardless, a boxing bout between him and Jake can definitely compensate for it.
It is worth noting that the ball is in Jake Paul’s court at the moment. He has just defeated a UFC veteran, and can now sit back and decide his next opponent. The YouTuber can either fight a popular celebrity for a big-money fight or a real boxer to solidify his own image as a pro.
