After a lot of talk and speculation about Jake Paul’s next fight, Ben Askren was revealed as Paul’s opponent. The combat sports community had mixed reactions to this news.

In the fight between Paul and Askren, Paul clearly seemed to have the size advantage. Jake Paul in the fight made use of the jab and tried to strike from range against Askren. Eventually, at 1:59 of Round 1, Paul landed a right hand preceded by a Jab which knocked down Askren.. Even though Askren got up, the Referee felt he was in no state to continue the fight and waved it off awarding a TKO victory to Paul.

Since then, Jake Paul has fought Tyron Woodley twice. Paul won both fights by split decision and knockout, respectively. Recently, Jake Paul announced on his Twitter account he would make his return to the ring on August 13, 2022. The venue and opponent are yet to be revealed.
