YouTuber star turned boxer Jake Paul is only following two accounts on Instagram. The social media platform Triller, and the wife of his next opponent, Ben Askren.<\/p>\n
Askren and Paul are slated to meet in an eight-round boxing exhibition match on April 17. While the fight is still months away, the pair are already ramping up the trash talk<\/a>.<\/p>\n That trend continued on Monday, when Paul appeared on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show<\/a> and was asked why he’s following Askren’s wife.<\/p>\n “She thicc bro,” Paul said. “With two Cs. Like T-h-i-c-c. She’s real thicc. I don’t know. I just thought she was bad. So maybe after I beat Ben…”<\/p>\n While Paul thankfully trailed off before saying too much more, he said more than enough to earn a response from Askren.<\/p>\n The former ONE and Bellator welterweight champion seems to have taken Paul’s comments about his wife in stride.<\/p>\n This is laugh out loud awkward!!! But yes @jakepaul<\/a> I find my wife very attractive also LOL. https:\/\/t.co\/hNOFIchPa7<\/a><\/p>\n — Funky (@Benaskren) January 27, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
