Elon Musk could start having BS circus fights tomorrow and he'd be the face of boxing in the sense that hes more mainstream famous than any active boxer. It doesnt really mean anything. Jake is a gimmick fighter with a bit (I stress...A BIT) of actual ability, not an actual legitimate high level boxer. Therefore he doesnt count.
It just shows ta go ya, that personality and star grooming are IMPORTANT in any branch of the entertainment industry, including sport and most especially, individual sport.
Give us a charismatic fighter who can really FIGHT, and you have something there. Make them a white American, and he'll become a top recognizable star in sports among white Americans.
Jake is all of these things with the exception of the He can fight" part.
He's a good athlete who works very hard at his technique and conditioning, and now has some experience. But the jury is still out.
Lots of opportunities now for this decade's noventy act.
Some, I've ranked from Highest risk to Lowest risk:
He Can't win:
1. Daniel Dubois
2. Artur Beterbiev
3. Canelo Alvarez
4. Gilberto Ramirez
5. Andre Ward
He can actually Prove something:
6. Francis Ngannou
7. Kevin Lerena
8. Vitor Belfort
He'd probably win:
9. Oliver McCall
10. Jon Jones
11. Connor McGregor

Maybe he can beat Holyfield, Lewis and Bowe and proclaim himself to be the greatest of all the 90s Heavyweights. Nash out - His Excellency
Mike Tyson is the face of boxing. Has been since the 80s and will be long after he's dead. He's the dude most people remember when they think of boxing and is the SOLE reason the Netflix event did the numbers it did. Make NO mistake.
