Jake Paul vs Ben Askren live stream: How to watch the fight NOW
After successfully knocking out the former NBA star Nate Robinson at his last boxing match, YouTuber Jake Paul is back and ready to take on former MMA WelterWeight champion Ben Askren and we have all the details on how you can watch Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on TV or online.
So far, the 24-year-old younger brother of Logan Paul, has managed to win both of his matches as a professional boxer. In his first match against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, Paul ended things quickly with a first-round TKO after scoring three knockdowns. His match with Robinson ended in a similar way after the second round but now he'll be going up against a more seasoned fighter.
During his time in the UFC, Askren won one match against Robbie Lawler before being defeated by both Jorge Masvidal and Demian Maia during the one year he was with the promotion. Before that, he had a two-year/six-fight contract with the Singapore-based MMA sports association One Championship where he performed even better than he did in the UFC. Will Askren's be able to defeat Paul in a boxing match and put a stain on his currently untarnished record?
In addition to the main event at this Saturday's Triller Fight Club event, there will also be a light welterweight bout featuring Regis Prograis and Ivan Redkach, a heavyweight bout with Steven Cunningham and Frank Mir, a light heavyweight bout between Joe Fournier and Reykon, a super middleweight bout with Junior Younan and Jeyson Minda, a middleweight bout starring Lorenzo Simpson and Francisco Torres and a welterweight bout in which Quinton Randall will take on William Jackson.
Unlike the UFC and other boxing PPVs, Triller Fight Club will also feature musical performances from entertainers Justin Bieber, The Black Keys, Doja Cat, Saweetie, Diplo, and Major Lazer. The hip hop supergroup Mt. Westmore, which includes Snoop Dog, Ice Cube, Too $hort, and E-40, will also play their debut performance at the event.
