​Huh?

On March 14, American billionaire Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors, tweeted at President Putin, challenging him to a one-on-one fight.. American boxer Jake Paul then offered to set up the fight between the two.



Teddy believes that Jake likes to go in for short punches and judges his range and strikes quite cleverly; for this, he is respected. Given all the tactics that Jake deploys and taking his current five professional fights that he has fought and won to date, he still needs to deliver more on the table.

Teddy thinks that Jake is a fighter, but he is still raw on the inside. Something like a half-done steak that is still raw on the inside. They have served a raw dish on the table, and he is the underdog.

Jake is a boxer who likes to be an "inside fighter", staying close to his opponent so that it doesn’t give the opponent room to fight. However, the fighter in him is delivering on big fights and therefore he is respected.
