The general concensus of this exchange between Nico Ali Walsh and Jake Paul is that Jake bviously thinks he is being ducked. While Nico Ali Walsh keeps claiming he wants to box real boxers and not celebrity boxers. In the most pure sense of the word, boxing is an honorable sport that Nico Ali Walsh is trying to keep in a serious space. In recent decades, the sport itself has been tainted by money and it is no longer driven by competition. That is exactly where Nico Ali Walsh’s sentiments are coming from. He wrote this on X: “No amount of money or fame is gonna make me sell out. Crazy how some peoples dignity comes at a price.”

In boxing, it is hard to find people who at least try to show this level of dignity and respect for the craft. Jake Paul has changed the game but it morphed it into an even greater money-making machine for bringing the celebrity aspect of it to the limelight. But in terms of actual competition, it’s very clear that celebrity boxing will only make the sport decreae in technique and performance. Not a single one of the fights where Jake Paul was involved can be graded as a professional boxing match of the highest level. It is simply not the case and Nico Ali Walsh doesn’t want to perpetuate that. However, monay can change anybody’s mind quickly. Let’s see how much this high horse stance can last.
