The article describes an incident in June 2023 where Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis stepped into the boxing ring to spar with undefeated boxer Jalen Walker. In the clip, Davis can be seen wearing Lakers’ purple and gold with a grey sweater, laughing in his corner before attempting to land punches on the much smaller Walker. Despite Davis’ superior reach, he seemed to struggle to connect with his punches.

Jalen Walker, who stands at 5-foot-8, danced around the 6-foot-10 Anthony Davis while wearing headgear. The article also mentions that Walker was preparing for a fight against Alejandro Guerrero in April 2023 and had won four consecutive fights since his match against Angel Contreras in April 2021.

It is noted that Anthony Davis has only missed four games during the current season and is averaging 24.4 points and 12.4 rebounds per game. The Lakers, with a 38-32 record at the time of the article, were sitting in ninth place in the Western Conference. The team, led by Davis and LeBron James, was expected to compete in the Play-in Tournament in April. Other California teams like the Golden State Warriors (10th) and Sacramento Kings (8th) were also in the play-in picture, while the Phoenix Suns, considered a strong contender, were struggling and held the seventh seed.
