But even more impressive? What “Proper” did after the fight:

The post-fight speech really seemed to inspire many, including fans...and Jake Paul?
Mike Malott told the media backstage that fans gave him money as he walked out of the arena for his boxing coach's 15-year-old daughter GoFundMe account. ♥️

Mallot shared more of his story at the post-dight press conference, too.
It is so great to have someone like Mike Malott representing Canada in the UFC.

An incredible class act and good on the fans who gave him donation money on his way to the back and those who donated $25,000 to the GoFundMe since his post-fight speech. pic.twitter.com/6M5sGCGCFX
