It appears as though Jake Paul will be boxing former UFC fighter Ben Askren in the coming months. This development comes after Paul exploded on the combat sports scene with a devastating knockout over former NBA player Nate Robinson (who is much smaller than Paul and seemingly had little to no boxing training).
Paul got his match-up with Askren after calling out others in the world of MMA, including DIllon Danis and Conor McGregor. The popular YouTuber’s antics—and ability to draw attention—have ensured he remains in the headlines.
One person who is not happy about that is UFC middleweight Marvin Vettori.
