After the presentation below criticism in front of the YouTuber Jake Paul, Ben Askren should think twice before submitting himself to a confrontation. Knocked out by the digital influencer in the spectacle that marked last weekend, the former Bellator and ONE Championship champion spoke about his plans for the future. Visibly disappointed, the veteran commented on the matter in a press conference after the show.

“I'm going to put about US$1 million in the bank and give wrestling lessons. I don't care. I have pizza waiting for me in my hotel room. I'm going to eat that, then go home and spend a time with my children. On Monday (5,6), I will probably be practicing wrestling”, said the athlete.
There was a lot of anticipation for the superfight between Askren and Jake Paul. Confident in the success of the former MMA fighter, UFC president Dana White even made public a $1 million bet on his former employee.
In the fight, however, Ben produced little. Showing a visible lack of intimacy in boxing, the 35-year-old veteran was easy prey for the YouTuber's advances. Aggressive, Paul needed less than two minutes to settle the bill against the former Bellator and ONE Championship champion.
The clash against Jake marked Askren's debut in the 'noble art'. Unlike Ben, the digital influencer reached his third presentation. YouTubers don't know what it's like to lose in sport.
