Kevin Durant’s Bold Reply When Questioned About Fighting Jake Paul
In the latest episode of IMPAULSIVE, hosted by Logan Paul and Mike Majlak, NBA superstar Kevin Durant and popular streamer IShowSpeed joined for an engaging and entertaining conversation. Speed brought a light-hearted atmosphere to the show, while Durant delved into a variety of intriguing topics. The legendary player discussed his Achilles injury, potential retirement, dealing with Twitter trolls, his relationships with peers, and much more. Seeing Durant in a relaxed setting, sharing his thoughts openly, made the episode a must-watch.
During the discussion, Logan Paul touched on his and his brother Jake Paul’s careers in combat sports. As many fans know, Jake Paul’s major fight debut was on the undercard of Mike Tyson’s comeback bout a few years ago, where he faced former NBA player Nate Robinson. The result of that fight was a resounding win for Jake Paul, but when Logan asked Durant if he would ever consider stepping into the ring with Jake, Durant responded emphatically, “No, hell no. Nah man, I see how he did a couple of NBA players. This man has been training for a long time. How long has he been training? Like, come on, bro. Of course, I will watch his fight with Mike Tyson though. This is a young man’s sport, man.”
Jake Paul has maintained a consistent winning streak against non-professional boxers, particularly enjoying victories over MMA fighters, with only Anderson Silva providing a significant challenge. Since Nate Robinson’s ill-fated attempt to fight ‘The Problem Child,’ no other NBA player has dared to follow suit. Durant’s outright refusal to entertain the idea seems like a wise choice, especially considering his imminent retirement and the importance of planning for his future. The question remains: what will Kevin Durant do next?
