YouTubers and creators are always looking for ways to cross over into different industries to try and capitalize on their fame. Some try music careers, some try acting, and others like the notorious Paul Brothers have tried their hand at boxing. WithJake Paul recently fighting former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodleyin a bonafide professional boxing match, fans have begun to wonder which other social media stars would excel in the ring, and Dr Disrespect’s massive fame and athletic abilities have made him an understandable favorite.

Of course, a boxing match is only exciting with a worthy opponent to match up with,as Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather showed fans. On a recent Dr Disrespect live stream, a fan asked The Doc if he would be willing to fight Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker, a popular streamer who was recently getting death threats for buying a $2.7 million home. HasanAbi’s streams feature left-wing social commentary and video game-related material, and as such, some of his fans saw the purchase of the home as hypocritical against his socialist views.
But when the donation appeared and proposed HasanAbi as a prospective opponent, Dr Disrespect simply replied, “Who?”
Now, being thatHasanAbi has over 1.5 million followers on Twitch, it’s very likely that Dr Disrespect is well aware of who the political streamer is. In fact, HasanAbi once downed The Doc in aCall of Duty: Warzonematch. Still, aWarzonebattle is hardly inductive of what would happen in a real ring.
Dr Disrespect certainly has a significant size and likely the strength advantage, too. HasanAbi is allegedly 6’3” tall, which while respectable, isn’t anywhere close to The Doc’s mammoth height. Dr Disrespect’s previous NCAA basketball experience suggests that he could very well hold the speed and agility advantage, as well.
At this point in time though, Dr Disrespect doesn’t appear to have any desire to enter the boxing ring, against HasanAbi or any otherTwitchstreamer. Still, with thePaul brothers racking up bags of money against fighters like Floyd Mayweatherand Tyron Woodley, maybe one day we’ll get to see Dr Disrespect towering over an opponent in the ring as well.
