Upcoming Influencer Boxing fights that everyone is waiting for 

The sport of boxing is one of the oldest sports and has evolved drastically over the years. Today, boxing is not only confined to trained and professional boxers, even internet personalities and other celebrities participate in exhibition bouts. American Youtuber Jake Paul is the prime example of influencer boxing, as he quickly became the poster boy of influencer boxing. 

Although Paul is a professional boxer now, the boxing world expects more for him to prove his worth, as he has not yet fought against a “real boxer”. He is slated to go up against UFC legend Anderson Silva later this month, who is the toughest opponent of his career until now. 

Furthermore, Jake’s brother Logan Paul is also expected to make his boxing return in January, on the same card as his friend and business partner KSI. However, there have been no revelations about his opponent yet. 

Also, even KSI has emerged to be recognized as a worthy boxer by fans. Not too long ago, he stunned the world as he defeated two opponents in a single night. However, his next opponent is not revealed yet.
