Ben Askren Says He Would Kill Jake Paul If They Met In A Dark Alley

Retired MMA star Ben Askren will be making his debut in the world of professional boxing against Jake Paul next month. The match is currently one of the most highly-discussed matches in recent memory.

Ahead of their upcoming boxing match, the two took part in a pre-fight press conference that was held on Friday. The two went at each other’s throats and it was certainly a very heated exchange.

During the exchange, Jake Paul tried make fun of Askren for slurring his words as he cussed at the retired MMA star. Due to this, Askren threatened to kill Jake Paul if they ever met in a dark alley.

“This is typical boy behavior, but sometimes the boy picks [on] the wrong person… You’re not going to bully me, that’s not going to happen. Jake, if you and I ran into each other in a back alley in Las Vegas and I wanted to do a homicide… I would do a homicide on you if I wanted to.
