Jake Paul responds to MMA fighters and coaches doubting him
This Saturday, YouTube sensation and celebrity boxer Jake Paul will face former Bellator and ONE champion Ben Askren in a boxing match a Triller Fight Club: Paul-Askren. It’s a fight that has generated a lot of strong opinions from the MMA community regarding Paul’s chances of beating an actual combat sports athlete in a fight, and with the bout just days away, the former Disney Channel star took the time to respond to the numerous high-profile fighters doubting him.
“I think it’s hilarious,” Paul told True Geordie. “Again, I have the ace up my sleeve and these guys don’t know what I’m capable of. They don’t know how hard I can hit.
“Sure, Ben has a great chin, he’s been hit by Robbie Lawler a couple of times but this guy is coming off of a knockout, coming off of a loss and to sit here and think that this old guy Ben Askren – for people to say he has better cardio than me or that I’m gonna get tired is absolutely hilarious. Ben Askren can’t work as hard as me in one practice. My one practice is harder than his whole entire training camp.”
