YouTube influencer and boxer Jake Paul suggested he could set up fights between Vladimir Putin and billionaire Elon Musk, as well as Kanye West and comedian Pete Davidson.

 

The point of these fights would be to 'squash a beef,' end a feud or a dispute.

 

This was after Musk challenged Putin to a fight on Ukraine's behalf.

 

One could wish that a pugilistic faceoff between rivals was possible and would be better than the situation we face now where innocent people are dying, including journalists who are covering the atrocities.

 

All of this is a pipe dream, like Kanye and Pete burying the hatchet but another reminder that everyone is consumed by the Russia-Ukraine crisis.  Hoping for an end to the conflict.
