ATLANTA – [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] and [autotag]Ben Askren[/autotag] had quite different open workouts ahead of Saturday’s Triller Fight Club headliner.
Paul and Askren meet in an eight-round boxing match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and with fight week well underway, they made their first appearances in front of cameras Wednesday.
Askren went first, showing some of the boxing skills he’s picked up over the past several months in preparation for the bout as he hit pads with coach Mike Rhodes.
Shortly after, Paul conducted his workout – if you can call it that. It was mostly a stretching session, as Paul and one of his trainers put on meditation music and went to work in an unusual scene that garnered much feedback from spectators.
Check out the highlights from open workouts above, as well as pre-fight interviews with both Paul and Askren below.
