Jake Paul is going to box Ben Askren. I know, I know. There are undoubtedly numerous other fights on the horizon that are more interesting and valuable from a sporting sense, but few will garner as many eye-balls as a match between a wildly popular YouTuber and a former MMA champion.
Paul vs. Askren is due to go down on April 17th on a card presented by Triller. That outfit hosted Paul’s last fight, a demolition of former NBA player Nate Robinson. Also on that card was Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr.
Ahead of his match with Askren Paul spent some time with someone who knows ‘Funky’ more than most: Jorge Masvidal.
