Askren retired from professional MMA after two defeats in UFC, a 5-seconds KO against Jorge Masvidal and a third round defeat by submission against Demian Maia.
Jake Paul and Ben Askren are fighting eight rounds at Cruiserweight. That means that both fighters can't weigh anything over 200 pounds.

On the other side, the youtuber weighed in at 189 pounds for his las boxing bout.
Jake Paul is a 5/7 favourite with SportNation while Ben Askren is the 22/15 underdog with VBet. The draw is backable at 18/1 with Betfair.

He made his professional debut in December of 2019 against AnEsonGib, a fellow 0-0 youTuber.

Jake Paul vs Ben Askren Predictions
Askren is a world-class grappler, a two-time NCAA national champion while attending Missouri and a FILA Grappling world championship win. Despite a very good professional career in MMA there are still serious questions over his striking ability, which might be exposed in a boxing ring when he can't rely on his grappling skills. While his boxing ability isn't at the top level it will be more than enough to cause damage to Jake Paul, who'll get frustrated against a man used to taking punches, considerably harder than those Paul is throwing. Hence, we expected a more levelled fight this time.While Askren is the only one of the two who has succeeded against legitimate fighters, Jake Paul’s size and greater exposure, age, freshness and aptitude with actual boxing should see him winning the fight.
