36-year-old Nate Robinson will stage his boxing debut against Jake Paul when they collide inside the ring in the undercard of Tyson vs Jones.

Although Jake Paul is much more experienced than Robinson in the ring, the latter has been an athlete all his life. Several fans feel the NBA star will have an advantage as he has played basketball all his life. However, it won’t be a simple task.

Meanwhile, Paul has already vowed to make it ugly inside the ring. Hence, the pressure lies on Robinson’s side since several people are expecting him to finish the YouTuber turned pugilist.

Here’s a look at the tweets in favor of Nate Robinson.
