However, ‘The Problem Child’ wants this collision to take place on the wrestling mat, considering that he was also a wrestler in high school. He connected with MMA Junkie and vowed to knockout Ben Askren, before shedding light on the possible wrestling matchup.
“I told Ben though after this fight is over after I knock him out, I will face him in a wrestling match. Folkstyle, let’s run it because I think that would be just as entertaining,” said Jake Paul.
He added, “I have a wrestling background as well, which is why I am repping the asic aggressors and why I am going to beat him up in the wrestling shoes to sort of make a point, make fun of him at the same time. Jake Paul vs Ben Askren wrestling match will probably happen.”
Meanwhile, the much-anticipated boxing collision has already seen enough drama with both men turning it dirty against each other. Paul made personal comments on Askren’s wife in the initial build-up of the fight.
In response, ‘Funky’ Askren demeaned ‘The Problem Child’ several times on social media, and this escalated into an altercation at the faceoffs.
