Robinson entered the fight without any professional boxing experience. The alleged fighters’ rivalry began in May 2020 when Robinson told TMZ Sports he wanted to fight Paul. Robinson had said he wanted to show that he was a “top athlete”.
Robinson played 11 seasons in the NBA. He last played for the New Orleans Pelicans during the 2015-16 season. He played two games before being canceled at the end of October 2015.
