For anyone still keeping up with former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown outside of the league’s investigation into him, here is the latest.
YouTuber Logan Paul called out Brown in December via BarStool Sports, saying he wanted to box the former football star.
Brown tweeted Monday for Paul to “Square up,” and now Paul is telling TMZ that he’s serious about the potential fight and that it is close to happening.
“I think we might be closer than anyone expected, than even we expected,” Paul told TMZ. “They say if it’s too good to be true it probably is. In my mind, I’m getting that feeling because I genuinely do not know how serious AB is.”
The YouTuber compared the opportunity for Brown to a situation Paul himself recently went through with his public image, saying that a fight between the two men could give Brown “purpose,” and “A nice payday, give him a chance to redeem himself. It would be one of the greatest events of 2020.”
Late Thursday, Brown tweeted a picture of the pair captioned, “Beat you in football, now (boxing).”
