The Youtuber-turned-boxer made a name for himself after being undefeated in his first five matches. Four of them were KOs against the opponent. Yet a number of pro boxers think he still lacks the fight against a professional. Nonetheless, Jake’s coach, Chad Dawson, denied that comment and rather believes, the 25-year-old can do just fine as he has accomplished quite enough at the beginning of his career. Now it’s merely a matter of time for we to see Dawson’s statement be proven.
