The last time YouTuber Jake Paul last climbed into a boxing ring he KO'd former NBA star Nate Robinson in the 2nd round and went viral. Now he's looking to do it all over again against a proper professional: ex-MMA fighter Ben Askren. They'll fight on April 17, starting around 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET.
Jake Paul is the brother of Logan Paul. Both are YouTuber online personalities with sizeable followings across almost every social media platform. They initially gained popularity on now-defunct video platform Vine and Jake Paul starred in Bizaardvark, a show on the Disney Channel.
As of late both Paul brothers have become well-known for -- bizarrely -- boxing. Logan Paul boxed fellow YouTuber KSI to a draw in a ludicrously high profile amateur boxing match in August 2018. Jake Paul fought KSI's brother Deji Olatunji on the undercard.
After the bout Jake Paul continued boxing and has fought professionally twice, most recently defeating former NBA star Nate Robinson on the undercard of Mike Tyson's recent comeback against Roy Jones Jr. Jake Paul fight stream
