An account by the name “skippedclass4twitch_” said in the Twitch queen’s chat, “when can we expect you to do boxing content and who do you want to fight out of anyone?…” As she went thinking, her answer made the chat go crazy.

She replied that there are some people shipping for a “Poki vs Rae” boxing match. She said, “we’re two homies to fight each other, one.” Furthermore, she said humorously, “Two! we in different weight classes baby. That’s lowkey not fair to her. I would feel bad.”

On a second note, she agreed that “she do got a little crazy in her though.” Moreover, she questions about it happening as she feels that learning to box would be a lot. Until now, the possibility of a fight happening has been constrained to Twitch chat only. But who knows, one might see this rising up to the surface of it happening one day.

Where do the “homies” stand in their career now?

Apart from the boxing strengths, the two personalities have surely flourished in their respective streams. Recently, Pokimane was awarded as the “Best Twitch Streamer of the year”. Through her IRL and variety of streams, she has made a name for herself in the streaming industry. And has also voiced that her fans would see her doing more IRL streams and engaging herself on other platforms as well.
