It sounds a little less like Jamie Foxx's pitch-perfect take and more like a stoned Daffy Duck, but still. Say what you want about Logan Paul, but the guy's Mike Tyson impression isn't half bad. Meanwhile, as dudes better known for Fortnite bans get shredded and brawl in press conferences, those with skin in the boxing game are grappling with the possibility of a future where influencers have more opportunities than pros who've boxed their entire lives. Rest assured, these guys have years of beef with each other, imagined and real, and an honest-to-god desire to do what Jake Paul did to AnEsonGib to each other.
