Video: Ringside camera angle shows off Jake Paul’s devastating KO of Ben Askren
Twitter Jake Paul beat Ben Askren at Triller Fight Club.Those who were hoping Ben Askren would be able to banish Jake Paul from the realm of combat sports are sorrily disappointed this morning. The brash YouTuber, who was accused of sexual assault in the lead up to last night’s fight, got the W at Triller Fight Club by TKOing Askren inside the first round.
The win wasn’t a great shock to fight game pundits, who—though admirers of Askren’s wrestling pedigree and achievements in Bellator and ONE—knew that ‘Funky’ is not a high-level striker.
