NBA's Morris Twins Challenge Nikola Jokic’s Giant Brothers To Boxing Showdown

The Morris brothers, Markieff and Marcus, appeared on Shaquille O'Neal's podcast and reignited their feud with Nikola Jokic's brothers, Strahinja and Nemanja. During the interview, prompted by host Adam Lefkoe who expressed fear of the Jokic brothers' imposing size, the Morris twins challenged them to a boxing match.

Markieff Morris dismissed concerns about the Jokic brothers' stature, stating "The bigger they are, the harder they fall," and emphasized his own size (6-10, 270 lbs). Marcus Morris specified a key condition for the proposed 2v2 fight: it must be pure boxing with no kicking allowed, explicitly noting Nemanja Jokic's background in MMA.

The conflict originated from a 2021 on-court incident where Markieff committed a hard foul against Nikola Jokic, leading to Jokic shoving Markieff in retaliation and the Morris twins appearing ready to fight. Strahinja Jokic (6-11, ~290 lbs) made headlines in 2024 for assaulting a Lakers fan. While the Morris brothers appear eager for the fight, it remains a hypothetical possibility fueled by the popularity of celebrity boxing.
