Ex-NBA player and pro boxer Kendall Gill calls out Jake Paul for next fight: ‘Step up and fight some real competition’

Ex-NBA player Kendall Gill was watching the Triller Fight Club event this past weekend with all eyes on Jake Paul as he demolished retired UFC fighter Ben Askren with a brutal right hand in the opening round.

Prior to that fight being booked, Gill had actually called out Paul as a chance to avenge another former NBA player in Nate Robinson, who fell victim to the YouTube celebrity’s knockout punch just a few months earlier.

In addition to his 15 year NBA career, Gill has also been a lifelong boxing enthusiast and after he retired from basketball, he actually laced up the gloves and took several professional fights.
