Jake Paul will step up for the second fight of his boxing career when he takes on former NBA prodigy Nate Robinson in the undercard of Tyson vs Jones. However, ‘The Problem Child’ has already foreseen a grudge match against KSI later after the fight.

In 2019, KSI had beaten Jake’s elder brother Logan Paul to kick-off the YouTubers’ entry into the boxing world. Now, Jake Paul wants to avenge his brother’s loss.

‘The Problem Child’ has desired to fight several opponents, and KSI is on his list. That said, Viddal Riley is backing him to win the fight against Robinson to set up a KSI bout in the future.

Although Rilley is friends with KSI, he still wants Jake Paul to win his next fight because it will only intensify the fight against KSI. Akin to Paul, Rilley also wants to see this fight. However, if Robinson beats Paul tonight, it will take away all the hype from ‘Problem Child’ in the blink of an eye.

Viddal Riley is all for Jake Paul tonight

The 23-year-old connected with the IFL TV to shed light on the YouTuber vs NBA player fight. It came as no surprise that he had unique plans on his mind.

Riley said, “I want Jake to win. Why do I want Jake to win? For my own interest because I want him to fight JJ. I was talking to him (KSI) yesterday. I was literally on the phone with him yesterday and we were both saying the same thing, watching closely because we want to see if that fight happens. You know how he is looking.”

He added, “We wanted to see how he is looking. From my perspective, for a friend that I know could be fighting this guy and as an expert, I want to be able to watch it and say to him, ‘Nah don’t worry about a piece of pi** or he is looking a bit tasty’ so you are going to up your game for him.”

Meanwhile, Jake Paul might have a tough-challenge against an athletic Robinson tonight. Being an NBA player for so many years, Nate Robinson is a pure sports person. Thus, he can put it to use and overcome Jake Paul and steal the YouTuber’s thunder.
