Marsellos turned pro in 2018. This was the third loss of the former champion’s brother in his 8th battle. What was surprising about this loss was that it came against an opponent who had lost his last 9 fights. And to everyone’s surprise, the journeyman who was expected to lose turned the tables and won via split decision.
Online boxing editor for talkSports.com, Michael Benson reported it on Twitter. However, as soon as this update surfaced on social media platforms, fans started taking digs on Deontay Wilder‘s brother.
One fan wrote, “Jake Paul’s next opponent.”

Probably keeping in mind the previous battles of ‘The Problem Child’, his speculation might prove true. As many believe that Jake Paul always collides with the pugilists in the fading days of their career.

Nah his opponents gloves were loaded with egg weights which left a dent in Marsellos’ head. We must perform an autopsy on him to determine why he lost.

This is a nice remark. This fan added something extra to the defeat of the former champion’s brother. According to this Twitter user, like Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder’s epic trilogy, their brothers should have also battled.
