American rapper Snoop Dogg is a combat enthusiast, who has also performed as a commentator in several boxing matches and combat-based programs. The most notable stint is when Snoop took over the mic on Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. exhibition in November 2020.

Well, the rapper took a step ahead when he laced up the gloves almost three years back. With celebrity boxing taking a toll in recent years, it won’t be very shocking to witness Snoop Dogg take on a pro-boxing competition someday. Meanwhile, he has already channelized his inner Floyd Mayweather by revealing a jaw-dropping clip in the past. Here’s a look at Snoop Dogg hitting the pads.

The rapper was actually practicing with US actor and martial artist Ernie Reyes Jr, who also comes from Nate Diaz’s team. That said, the visual can be an interesting twist for promoters, who can spin millions by staging Snoop Dogg inside the ring.

Per reports, he stands at 6’4” height with a 165 lbs weight category. It means he is a super middleweight under the current boxing weight categories. However, the  50-year-old rapper may struggle to find a worthy contender, who can fit in with him in a perfect matchup.

He took on an actual fighter in a mere sparring session in 2018. And Snoop Dogg consumed some hard shots. However, if we talk about a worthy contender, rapper Wiz Khalifa may be a potential name. Akin to ‘DOGG’, Khalifa is also a huge combat fan and sent several fans into a frenzy by dropping glimpses of his boxing training. Hypothetically, Wiz Khalifa vs Snoop Dogg can be an intriguing fight. But makes little sense in the traditional value.
