Jake Paul lived up to his promise to beat Ben Askren in the Triller Fight Club headliner on Saturday.
Paul moved his undefeated record to 3-0 in professional boxing competition when he beat former Bellator and ONE Championship titleholder Askren by first-round TKO in their 190-pound main event matchup at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Atlanta. Now, the hype around Paul grows even larger.

Chuck Liddell warned that Jake Paul wouldn’t have an easy time against Ben Askren, but credit where credit is due from “The Iceman” after the fight. pic.twitter.com/WVjRiI5mqV

See, this has to stop. @jakepaul is not some scrub. He’s a pro now. Askren, even though he’s a @ufc fighter, is a grappler. Not a boxer. So why was he even in the damn ring? From now on, Paul needs to fight an actual boxer. He’s gonna hurt any non-boxer.
