UFC welterweight elite, Jorge Masvidal, has sided with Jake Paul before the much-anticipated boxing clash between him and Ben Askren on April 17. Being the first man to vanquish ‘Funky’ on a pro stage, Masvidal has also trained with Jake Paul to prepare him for the upcoming bout.

So, ‘Gamebred’ seems to understand both of their fighting styles and he clearly bills the favor towards ‘The Problem Child’. Akin to several fans, Masvidal has ridiculed Askren’s striking abilities, posing it as a disadvantage for ‘Funky’.

Meanwhile, Jake Paul has honed himself with two professional fights, winning both via stoppage. So, it makes sense for the BMF to support Jake Paul in the clash.

Speaking with the media, Jorge Masvidal billed ‘The Problem Child’ to be the superior athlete and not just the superior boxer.

He said, “I think he (Jake Paul) is a better athlete than Ben and a little better with the boxing. I have seen Ben, but if it goes after the second round, Ben can start hand fighting and make it a little slower. I see Jake winning.”

Jake Paul vs Ben Askren:- Everything about the fight

In recent times, several celebrities have entered the squared circle in exhibition bouts. But, the fight between Paul and Askren will be a professional clash, with bad-blood included. However, it has come out of nowhere.

Following a win against NBA fighter Nate Robinson, ‘The Problem Child’ called out several MMA fighters. While most of them ignored Paul, Ben Askren accepted the offer and the two will now collide against each other. The fight will be telecast live on Triller and has all the makings to be a massive PPV hit.

While a victory would bring a lot of glory to the winner, defeat would bring them on the clutch of criticism. In such a must-win situation, Paul vs Askren can be an interesting contest to watch.
