ATLANTA – Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren is official, and both men are ready to fight.
Ahead of Saturday’s Triller Fight Club pay-per-view headliner at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Paul and Askren came face to face for a final staredown after weighing in. Both men successfully made weight, with Paul tipping the scale at 191.5 pounds and Askren weighing in at 191.
After their first faceoff went viral when Askren facepalmed Paul, who subsequently pushed him, things were slightly more tame this time around.
