      JOHN KAVANAGH WEIGHS IN
      SBG Ireland chief John Kavanagh, the head coach of UFC superstar Conor McGregor, has tipped Ben Askren to upset the apple cart and stop Jake Paul.
      Whats your #jakePaulvsBenAskren prediction? I think jake looks good for 2 rounds. 3 is even. 4 he’s stopped. Without jake there’s no event so fair play to him. Money generated for venue, undercard, officials etc during a time of scarcity.— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) April 17, 2021

      DEEP WATERS
      Ben Askren, 36, believes he’ll stop Paul, telling ESPN: “TKO [in] round seven.”
      He added: “Because I don’t have a huge amount of power. It’ll take me some time to wear him down and make him hate his life.
      “And then eventually he’s gonna say, ‘Hey look, I’m a rich celebrity.
      “I don’t need to get f–king punched anymore. I’m just gonna roll over.'”

      PROBLEM CHILD’S PREDICTION
      Despite only having two fights to his name, Jake Paul reckons Ben Askren won’t land a glove on him.
      He recently told ESPN: “Go Google Ben Askren’s striking. Hahaha.
      “It’s not going to go that long, it’s not going to go that long.
      “I don’t even think he’ll hit me. I haven’t been hit one time in the face in my past two fights.
      “So I haven’t even been punched as pro boxer one time. Nate Robinson landed one body shot in a clinch.
      “I don’t think Ben Askren will even hit me. That’s my prediction.”

      FIRST RESULT OF THE NIGHT

      CONFIRMED START TIME
      Ben Askren and Jake Paul will make their respective walks to the ring at 5:00am BST time.

      ‘YOUTUBE B**B’
      Even legendary boxing coach Freddie Roach – who Ben Askren trained with in the build-up to this morning’s fight – is getting involved in the pre-fight trash talk.
      Let’s see if the Wild Card Gym owner is right at the final bell.

      A QUICK GLIMPSE AT THE ARENA
      The Mercedes-Benz Arena in Atlanta is ready for one of the biggest fights of the year.
      Not long now until the spectators start filling it up.

      LATE ADDITION TO THE CARD
      Triller have announced a late addition to the Paul vs Askren card.
      And it involves none other than WWE legend Rick Flair. Flair, 72, won’t be boxing, however.
      No, The Nature Boy will be the special guest referee for a a slapping match.
      Yes, you read that correctly. A slapping match. As if this fight card couldn’t get any weirder.

      JOR DROPPING
      Ben Askren – who fights Jake Paul tonight – was on the wrong end of the fastest knockout in UFC history against Jorge Masvidal.
      The welterweight pair fought at UFC 239 in July 2019 after a bitter build-up, but no one could have foreseen the dramatic early stoppage.

      FIGHTING TALK
      Jake Paul has thrown down one of his final social media barbs before tonight’s fight.

      WHAT HAVE THEY SAID?
      Jake Paul: “You f****d up, Ben by taking this fight. April 17, I promised my team, my family, my brother who is there right next to you right now, I promise to make you go down as history as the world’s worst UFC fighter.
      Ben Askren: “We haven’t seen anything.
      “The level of his competition was so low that it was almost impossible to tell if he is actually good at this.
      “If there is one thing people respect about all fighters it’s the toughness to deal with adversity in battle and we have not seen that out of him.
      “I don’t think he was hit hard by either one of those guys. They were so incredibly terrible at boxing. So we haven’t seen anything out of him yet.”
      JAKE OF ALL TRADES
      Jake Paul is adamant Floyd Mayweather has ‘lost his mind’ after the legendary boxer challenged him to an exhibition fight.
      He told TMZ: “This guy is out of his mind! He just calls me out, out of nowhere — same with 50 Cent!
      “I mean, he hasn’t even fought my brother yet. It just seems like he’s losing his marbles … like what the f*** is this guy doing?!”
      PAUL TO PLAY FOR
      Logan Paul mocked Ben Askren and said anyone who thinks the retired UFC welterweight will beat his brother Jake are ‘f***ing morons’.
      He said: “I get it, guys I like Ben Askren. We like him, he’s a good guy, he’s funny, he’s entertaining, great personality.
      “But if you think for one f***ing second, that this guy is going to beat my brother tomorrow, you’re a f***ing moron.
      “Straight up. Like y’all thought and afterwards everyone’s going to be like, ‘Oh, we should have seen it coming’.
      “No s***. You’re crazy.”
      TALE OF THE TAPE
      Here’s how Jake Paul and Ben Askren compare.

      ASK AGAIN
      CM Punk warned Ben Askren is being underestimated and tipped his former training partner to surprise Jake Paul.
      The WWE legend shared the Roufusport gym with Askren while he trained for his two UFC fights, which he both lost.
      He told TMZ Sports: “I think so, but I think it’s easy to do, based on it’s easy to sit on your couch and say that Ben isn’t a striker.
      “But he’s a decelerated athlete at a very, very high level in two different sports.
      “Mindset and mentally is a big thing when you’re fighting and Ben has that in spades.
      “Is Ben gonna come out there and look like Muhammad Ali? No, probably not. But Ben knows what it takes to win a fight.
      “The skillset in boxing is different, the rules are different, so he’s going to approach it to the best of his abilities so he can win that fight.
      “And I know a lot of people are counting him out but I don’t think people should be surprised if he wins.”

      Paul and Askren had an altercation at a recent press conference, with the latter gently facepalming the former.
      The YouTuber responded with a soft jab to Askren’s midriff and a slight push.
      Cormier was not impressed with Paul’s response, tweeting: “I just saw Jake Paul reaction to Ben Askren palming his face and I am now convinced that Ben wins.
      “He looked like he wanted to throw a punch and then settled on slapping his a**? Ben smashes this dude.”
      Paul was quick to respond to the former UFC star, tweeting the teary image.
      He faces retired UFC welterweight Askren on April 17, at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

      Although Cormier doesn’t have much faith in Paul, recording artist Snoop Dogg does – making a $2million bet with UFC boss Dana White.
      Askren, 36, has enjoyed a long career in MMA and wrestling but will make his professional boxing debut against Paul.
      Paul, meanwhile, has won both his previous fights – defeating former NBA basketball star Nate Robinson in November.
      He could face Tommy Fury in his next fight, with Fury’s cousin backing the Love Island star to win.

      Jake Paul reveals he got into boxing after YouTube rivalry and details pre-fight routine of yoga and meditation music

      by

      JAKE PAUL has revealed he turned to boxing to settle online feuds with YouTube rivals ‘like men’.
      A third professional fight for the American, 24, is on the horizon after victories in each of his previous contests.

      Former MMA fighter Ben Askren will prove a tough test after TKO wins over ex-NBA star Nate Robinson and YouTuber AnEsonGib.
      Fighting his online rival in January 2020, while brother Logan faced KSI, was a step into the unknown for many but Paul found the experience invigorating.
      And he has explained to SunSport how the Manchester Arena bout gave him a taste for boxing.
      Paul said: “So a while ago, a bunch of YouTubers were sort of talking s*** back and forth to each other.

      “And instead of just talking online, we were like, Let’s fight. Let’s settle this, like men.
      “And so I fought actually Deji who is from the UK, and my brother fought KSI. And we sold out the whole entire Manchester Arena.
      “And that’s really where this all started was from: YouTubers talking s*** to each other and deciding to put on boxing gloves to see who actually would win.
      “It was a bit scary. They were a bit scary, but you know, the people there were obviously not rooting for us as we’re United States.

      “So it was definitely an interesting experience and there were probably 20,000 people booing me when I was fighting.
      “So I had to overcome that. But the arena was beautiful. And we went to like some after party after the fight. And that was fun.”
      While some commentators have criticised Paul’s move into the ring, several pros want a piece of him.
      Although a tirade to lure Conor McGregor into a fight proved unsuccessful, he could soon have a new opponent in Tommy Fury.
      Such contests have demanded Paul create a professional regime and he detailed his calm approach pre-fight.
      The online star added: “Honestly, I listen to yoga and like meditation music before I fight.

      If you’re getting all hyped up before you fight, you’re just wasting your energy that you’re going to need it potentially, in the fight.
      Jake Paul

      “I don’t like to really expand, expand my energy. It’s all about staying calm.
      “You know, when I get into that ring, I’m not all ramped up. I know exactly what I’m here to do.
      “I’m a robot. I embody everything like a robot, no emotions. I’m here to do a job and execute it and get it done.
      “And if you’re getting all hyped up before you fight, you’re just wasting your energy that you’re going to need it potentially, in the fight.”

      Jake Paul says Dillon Danis is ‘butt-hurt’ because YouTuber ‘hooked up with his girlfriend’ as he vows to KO MMA ace

      by

      JAKE PAUL has claimed that Dillon Danis is ‘butt-hurt’ because he hooked up with the Bellator star’s girlfriend, Savannah Montano.
      YouTube sensation Paul is searching for his next opponent, having moved to 2-0 after knocking out ex-NBA player Nate Robinson in November.

      UFC superstar Amanda Nunes has revealed that she’d be willing to crossover to boxing to fight Paul.
      Yet the internet star shot down that idea and claimed he’s set his sights on facing Conor McGregor’s team-mate Danis.
      When asked about fighting two-weight champion Nunes, Paul told TMZ Sports: “Nah, I wouldn’t fight her.
      “Waste of time. No one knows who she is.

      “There’s not a lot of hype there. Plus, there’s no history.
      “I wanna knock out Dilon because we’ve been talkin’ s**t back and forth for 2 years, I’ve hooked up with his girlfriend, he’s all butt-hurt about it, there’s history there.”

      Jake Paul

      Paul later revealed that fighting Danis Danis is his fastest ticket to a future “dream fight” with Conor McGregor.
      The 23-year-old – who recently ambushed Danis, 27, and pelted him with water balloons – leaked a $500,000 offer to fight the MMA ace in March.

      And Paul escalated their feud by FaceTiming the Bellator star’s girlfriend, Savannah Montano last week.
      Instagram model Montano was left furious by the stunt and subsequently launched a scathing attack on him after footage of the call was made public.

      She said: “I’m dead confused at some of you guys going, ‘Oh, but why did you answer his call?’
      “As if I have his f**king number saved in my phone! It was literally a random number. You can literally see in the video, I’m like, ‘Who is this?’
      “And as soon as I see his face I’m, like, ‘Eww, what the f? Like, stop, stop, stop, I’m literally f’ing nauseous, like, I’m gonna go throw up right now, like, ugh.'”

      Who is KSI, what is the YouTuber’s net worth and what happened in Logan Paul rematch?

      by

      YOUTUBE sensation KSI continues to grow on and away from the video-sharing site.
      The Londoner – who has nearly 22m subscribers on YouTube – was part of a boxing double header against fellow online star Logan Paul, and is also enjoying success in the music industry.

      KSI is an English YouTube star who rose to fame as a gamerCredit: PA:Press Association/PA Images
      Who is KSI and what is his real name?

      KSI was born June 19, 1993, and is an English YouTube personality, rapper, comedian and actor.
      The 27-year-old’s real name is Olajide William “JJ” Olatunji.
      He attended the independent Berkhamsted School alongside future Sideman member and YouTube collaborator Simon Minter, better known as Miniminter.
      KSI – which stands for knowledge, strength, integrity – first arrived on the YouTube scene in 2009, originally posting videos about video games.

      The 26-year-old is also a rapper, actor and comedianCredit: Carl Fox – The Sun
      How did KSI become famous?
      Since 2009, KSI’s channel has reached over five billion video views with 21.9million subscribers. He also earned an NME Award for Vlogger of the Year in 2016.
      In addition to his YouTube career, the 27-year-old has released four EPs as a rapper, two of which have topped the UK R&B Albums Chart.
      In 2015, he was ranked as the UK’s most influential YouTube creator, with his brother Deji, otherwise known by his handle Comedy Shorts Gamer, ranking second.
      In 2016, he made his feature film debut in the comedy Laid in America alongside fellow YouTube star Casper Lee.

      He was also a founding member of the online group The Sidemen, which are the product of seven British YouTubers. In 2018, they launched their own premium web TV series.
      However, he was the centre of controversy in 2012 after a Eurogamer event due to supposed sexual harassment of attendees.
      Microsoft cut ties with him and he was banned for life from the expo.
      He addressed the controversy in his 2015 autobiography, entitled KSI: I Am A B*****d.
      Since his two boxing fights against Logan Paul, KSI has focused more on his musical career, including releasing Really Love with Craig David and Digital Farm Animals in October 2020.
      What happened during his boxing match against Logan Paul?
      In the first fight between the pair, the judges announced a majority draw for their boxing match on August 25, 2018.
      The judges scored it: 57-58 in favour of KSI, 57-57, 57-57.
      That set the stage for a rematch, this time as an official pro fight with no headguards, 10oz gloves and six three-minute rounds.
      After plenty of talk about knockouts from both camps, it was left to the judges at the Staples Center on November 9, 2019.
      And it was the Brit who came out on top, winning by a split decision with his fellow YouTuber Logan Paul docked two points for hitting KSI while he was on the canvas.

      What is KSI’s net worth?
      KSI has a net worth estimated at around £16m.
      In an interview, he claimed to own 10 properties in the UK worth around £10m.
      He has amassed over five billion views on YouTube.

      Jake Paul vs Logan Paul tale of the tape: How YouTubers turned boxing stars compare as both plot huge 2021 fights

      by

      LOGAN PAUL and little brother Jake have both been making headlines in recent weeks, but not for their social media presence.
      The siblings have recently tried their hand at boxing, both getting their ‘careers’ underway in 2018.

      How Logan Paul and little brother Jake compare

      Logan kickstarted the move from YouTube stardom into the ring.
      The elder of the Paul brothers was challenged by British YouTuber KSI to an amateur fight.
      The pair met in the ring, as BOTH of their younger brothers – Jake and Deji – went toe-to-toe on the undercard.
      Logan, 25, drew his fight with KSI, as Jake won his fight via TKO.

      They both caught the bug and decided to turn professional, with Logan losing his pro debut to KSI in 2019.
      Little brother Jake, 23, has fought TWICE professionally, winning both – most-recently beating former NBA star Nate Robinson.
      Earlier this week, Logan called his younger sibling ‘f***ing dumb’ for his outrageous, X-rated attack on Conor McGregor.
      Jake branded McGregor an ‘Irish c***’ and even took a swipe at Notorious’ fiancee, Dee Devlin.

      How Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul compare ahead of their fight

      The younger Paul brother also claimed to have sent McGregor a £35million fight offer.
      Logan will face Mayweather next February, in what is billed as a ‘special exhibition fight’.
      But Logan believes he is being smarter by taking on the 50-0 veteran, 43, than his brother for wanting to take on 32-year-old McGregor.
      The big brother said: “I love Jake, obviously, but this one is f***ing dumb.
      “Sorry, sorry, this one is f***ing dumb, dude.
      “McGregor is a southpaw, he’s bigger than Floyd Mayweather, he’s younger than Floyd Mayweather.
      “He’s way [more] active. I understand what you’re saying, so did everyone else, but he’s just a precision striker, knockout artist.
      “Floyd is not. He’s just not. He’s older, everyday he gets older, everyday I get better.”

      But after hitting out at his sibling, how would the pair stack up together in the ring?
      Logan is 0-1 in his professional career, while Jake – two inches shorter and one pound lighter – is 2-0, with both coming via either KO or TKO.
      As well as being physically bigger, Logan also boasts more social media followers on YouTube, Instagram and Twitter by a combined seven million.
      But for now, Logan will have his eyes focused on Mayweather, while Jake continues his bid to take on McGregor.
