Former NBA guard Nate Robinson set to fight YouTube star Jake Paul for Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. undercard

It looks like both the NBA and YouTube are now getting involved in the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones festivities coming up on Sept. 12.

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. are set to square off in an eight-round exhibition fight in September. The two former World champions will step in the ring to give boxing fans all over the world a blast from the past from two of the best in recent memory in the sport.

Before the main event, though, it looks like we already have an undercard fight set for the same night between former NBA vet Nate Robinson and YouTube star Jake Paul.

Robinson, a 5-foot-9 guard, played 11 years in the NBA and is most known for winning three Slam Dunk Contest titles during his career. While out of the NBA for the past two years, Robinson has played overseas as well as in the BIG3 league during summers.

Paul’s claim to fame is that he has over 20 million followers on YouTube. He and his brother, Logan have recently gotten into boxing and even had a couple of celebrity fights of their own against other YouTubers.

Is this real life?

There have been rumors circulating surrounding both Jake Paul and Robinson about a potential fight. With workout videos, trash talk and everything else in between, it looks like a deal could be put into place so that Paul and Robinson actually go toe to toe on the same night that Tyson and Jones Jr. step into the ring.

While we do not know the exact tale of the tape, the key difference between the two is their height. Robinson is listed at 5-foot-9 and Paul is hovering somewhere around 6-feet and 6-foot-1. Despite that, both men are willing to take on the challenge and add to the hype of celebrity boxing matches.

Both guys have been training diligently for years, but there is a difference in training for the sake of a workout and training in preparation for a fight. With about seven weeks, both men will have to be ready for their showdown on Sept. 12.
