Doctor Mike has insisted fans will be surprised by his boxing skills when he fights on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva.
The family medicine physician, YouTube star and now professional boxer fights MMA veteran Chris Avila on October 29 in Phoenix, Arizona. Doctor Mike, whose real name is Mike Varshavski, already has a win under his belt having competed in his exhibition bout against fellow content creator Ian 'IDubbbz' Carter in May, dominating the five-round fight to win a lopsided decision.
Varshavski will have a big size advantage over Avila, who is five inches shorter than the YouTube star. Avila, who holds a MMA record of 8-9, has competed as low as 145lb during his career but his fight with Varshavski will take place at 185lb. Varshavski hopes to show the improvements he's made in training since fighting 'IDubbbz' when he challenges Avila later this month.
