Everyone is looking forward to seeing Jordan Poole make his debut with the Washington Wizards following his trade from the Golden State Warriors at the start of the offseason. While players are busy working on their game this summer, Poole surprised fans by taking up boxing.
Fans were caught off guard by Poole's decision to work on his punches as it's known around the league that he got into trouble with Draymond Green. Prior to the start of the 2022-23 season, the 6-foot-4 guard was punched by the four-time champion during practice.
Fans who saw his boxing video didn't hesitate to comment on how he's preparing to get into a fight with someone. Here are the best reactions from fans about Poole's boxing workout.

It's clear that there's animosity between the two former teammates. Poole was interviewed about his relationship with his former teammates and the young star mentioned that he talked to guys like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Unfortunately, he didn't name Green as one of the people he talked to when he was traded.
The four-time All-Star, on the other hand, lightly threw shade at his former teammate when naming a player from the Wizards.
The matchup between the Wizards and Warriors will likely be watched by many. Both teams haven't released their schedules, but most fans are expected to watch their first game of the season, especially Poole's return to Chase Center.
