Last night Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr, two of the most recognizable figures in the history of the sport of boxing, stepped into the ring well beyond their prime and put on a exhibition fight for their long time fans. What you may not know however is that there was a fight on the undercard of that event that has arguably drawn even more attention than the main event itself. 

That fight, a contest between Youtuber Jake Paul and former NBA star Nate Robinson, was a spectacle just like the main event but there's no doubt that it captured the attention of millions around the world, including other professional athletes from disciplines of all types. That's why when Jake Paul stunned the world by putting Robinson to sleep with a devastating knockout that social media absolutely exploded. No one had expected the Youtuber to put his opponent to sleep in the ring and especially not in such a devastating fashion, no one except perhaps Jake Paul himself who seemed to be overflowing with confidence following his big win.

The Youtube star quickly issued challenges to huge names in the boxing world like former UFC Champion Conor McGregor but now he is facing challenges of his own from other professional athletes who seemingly want to get into the ring with him and take their best shot. Now you may think this is all some big joke, but even stars at in the National Hockey League were out there talking smack last night as well and at least two of them indicated that they would like to get a crack at the Youtuber. 

The first and most direct was Las Vegas Golden Knights star goaltender Robin Lehner who made it very clear that he had absolutely no respect for Jake Paul's boxing skills while also clearly hinting at the fact that he would like to fight him in the process.

"I would **** you up," said Lehner is a tweet to Paul on Saturday night.

Lehner wasn't alone however. San Jose Sharks star forward Evander Kane was much more polite than Lehner but he also was more direct in some ways by making it clear that he would like to actually fight Paul.

"Jeeezzzz maybe I should take on [Jake Paul] next," wrote Kane on Twitter while tagging Paul.


I'll be perfectly honest here, I don't think much of Jake Paul as a human being and I have never cared for Evander Kane either. Seeing these two square off in the ring sounds very much like a no-lose situation for me.
