Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren undercard officially adds three fights

A trio of undercard bouts have been added to the pay-per-view event on April 17 that will be headlined by a boxing match between YouTube celebrity Jake Paul and retired UFC contender Ben Askren.

Triller made the announcements on Thursday with all three new fights being shown on the pay-per-view portion of the card.

The most notable fight made official was the showdown between former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir and boxing legend Antonio Tarver. The fight was previously confirmed but now it’s a done deal as Mir crosses over from mixed martial arts to boxing to face off with Tarver, who will be competing for the first time since 2015.
