The boxing stuff is starting to come together.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t promise you it&#8217;s going to be the prettiest thing you ever saw\u2014although my face is pretty, my combat sports usually are not, they are unique, they are different\u2014but here&#8217;s what I can tell you,&#8221; Askren added. &#8220;You will witness the humiliation of Jake Paul. You will witness one man breaking another man&#8217;s will. And that man, Jake Paul, will give up and be humiliated in front of millions of people, live on Triller, April 17.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Askren is promising to humiliate Paul in front of the entire combat sports world, Paul is similarly confident in his own success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBen Askren is a two-time NCAA champion, a world champion in two different global mixed martial arts organizations and has less losses on his record than Conor McGregor,\u201d Paul <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/boxing-news\/jake-paul-boxing-news\/jake-paul-vs-ben-askren-boxing-match-a-done-deal-for-april-17\/\">told<\/a> ESPN after the fight became official.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe, on the other hand, I started boxing two years ago and I\u2019m still going to knock his ass out faster than Masvidal.

So now I\u2019m giving the people what they want by taking on a \u2018real fighter.\u2019 After Ben Askren is added to my knockout meme collection, what can anybody say? Thank you to Triller Fight Club for giving me the platform to once again put a man to sleep.
