If you have 30 seconds of free time, here’s the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren promotional video.
We are just over one week away from the big boxing match between social media superstar Jake Paul (2-0, 2 KOs) and former UFC fighter and ex-Bellator and ONE champion Ben Askren. It’ll be Askren’s professional boxing debut and while Jake Paul has several pro and amateur boxing bouts under his belt, Askren is the most notable opponent he’s faced in terms of actual deep combat sports experience. That Askren is not known for his striking is a different story but you get the idea.
Anyway, Triller has put up a 30-second promo hyping up not just the fight and a bit of the undercard, but also the special musical performances by Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, The Black Keys, Saweetie, and more!
Paul says of Askren, “Ben is gonna have to kill me to win the fight.” Meanwhile, you have Askren going “Jake has never been in a fight. He’s been in two boxing matches which were completely lopsided.”
Aaaaaaand yeah. That’s about it. Snoop Dogg does the voiceover and you can watch the video at the top of the page.
Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren is set for April 17th on Triller PPV with a start time of 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta will host the event but no tickets will be sold to the general public.
