Jake Paul and Ben Askren seem ready to collide inside the ring on April 17 as they continue to demean each other on social media. However, the actual fight may look different. Both Paul and Askren hail from different combat entities So, Askren may not enjoy any advantage as he has never boxed at a professional level.

Jake Paul is 2-0 in pro boxing and can impose a significant threat. However, most of the combat community appears to be on Funky’s corner, as they contrast his combat accolades alongside Paul’s. Although ‘Problem Child’ has achieved little in the sport, he still claims that he will win the bout.

Ahead of the contest, Jake Paul connected with The Sun and reflected his opinion on Askren’s heated statements.

 “You know, I think he (Ben Askren) is doing a good job of promoting the fight and talking smack. You know, I’m embracing the fact that I’m a Disney teen actor,” said Jake Paul.

He’s defeated MMA legends he has a better record than Conor McGregor. And me on the other hand, I put Disney actor, YouTuber virgin, the list goes on,” told Paul.

The 2-0 boxer tagged his underrated fighting resume to be the x-factor that would help him humiliate Askren.

Jake Paul is landing bombs already
