I Support Jaylen Brown’s Nigerian Boxing Adventure

Jaylen Brown is back to being extremely funny, this time by taking part in a confusing boxing match in Nigeria:

Looks like this was a charity exhibition match put on by JB’s 7uice Foundation, which — according to the non-profit’s Instagram — “partners with leaders and institutions to bridge opportunity gaps and empower youth through education and innovation.” Doing boxing matches is apparently a part of that, too.

As I’ve written before on this very site, I am in full support of Jaylen doing borderline dangerous stuff as long as the content is funny, and this boxing video does not disappoint. It’s awesome. Made me laugh a ton. Allow me to blast through the stuff I particularly enjoyed:

-Love the huge ChatGPT-ass poster they made for the event.

-Love Jaylen wearing sunglasses in this very bright room and staring daggers at his opponent, who seems pretty confused about what’s happening.

-Appears to be the kind of ceiling you see in dentist offices. This is a good place to do boxing warmups.

-Another good view of the ChatGPT poster.

-Huge, very shiny white tiles. These are hospital hallway floors. This is a good place to do boxing warmups.

-Pajama pants guy. Slides-with-no-socks guy. Seems to have just woken up, even though the ChatGPT poster told us the event began at 4 PM:

-I can’t capture it in a screenshot, but the part of the video where they’re in this hallway is so funny. The lights are flickering so much. The doorway at the end of the hall is so dark and ominous. This is a very scary shot. Appears to be some kind of cage in the wall there as well. So good.

-Not a lot of people there. Lot of empty seats.

-Guy sitting in a white plastic chair, the very light kind you used to see a lot in backyards at 2000s family parties.

-Jaylen proudly posing after what I presume was a win, in front of a barren shelf of skincare product samples.

Congrats on the big fight, Jaylen. You did great. Please keep doing more stuff like this.
