Jaylen Brown participates in exhibition boxing match in Nigeria

NBA player Jaylen Brown participated in an exhibition boxing match in Nigeria, an event organized by his non-profit, the 7uice Foundation. The foundation aims to empower youth through education and innovation.

Brown, who recently moved from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers following a trade involving Paul George, noted on social media that he had little to no specific preparation for the combat. The match comes shortly after his 2024 NBA Finals MVP performance with the Celtics. The boxing connection is a family legacy, as his father, Quenton Marselles Brown, was a WBU champion.
