On Saturday night, Askren makes his highly-anticipated professional boxing debut when he fights Jake Paul. It&#8217;s a huge fight between the YouTuber Paul and the former MMA fighter Askren. Hate them or love them, it&#8217;s hard not to see how much mainstream interest there is in this fight. It&#8217;s a battle between two big names in the world of entertainment and combat sports, and only one man will leave with the win.<\/p>\n<p>As for why Askren challenged Yelich, specifically, it&#8217;s worth noting that Askren hails from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Yelich stars for the Brewers. While he might not be on the superstar level of say, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks or Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, Yelich is still a big name in professional sports, so the fact Askren got a quick response from him on Twitter shows you how much reach Askren has now.<\/p>\n<p>Would you tune in to watch Christian Yelich vs. Ben Askren in disc golf?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MLB star Christian Yelich named his stakes for accepting the disc golf challenge presented to him by MMA fighter-turned-boxer Ben Askren.
