Ben Askren Interested in Picking Up Floyd Mayweather’s Scraps, Wants to Fight Logan Paul After Beating Up Jake Paul

MMA elite Ben Askren doesn’t intend to quit boxing after facing Jake Paul on April 17 in a headlining bout. The 36-year-old has appeared confident in claiming the win and has already chalked up the bigger plans for his upcoming boxing ride.

That said, Askren wouldn’t mind having a scrap with Jake Paul’s brother Logan Paul. While Logan Paul is scheduled to meet Floyd Mayweather in a fight, Askren believes ‘The Maverick’ could require a comeback fight after losing to Mayweather.

So, the ex- UFC star has already offered himself and has previewed Logan Paul to lose his second pro fight, citing a 0-2 run for the YouTuber.

Speaking on Paul’s Impaulsive Podcast, ‘Funky’ said, “I am gonna fight you (Logan Paul)”

He added, “Well, I mean once you get beat up by Floyd (Mayweather) you need to bounce back match, don’t you?”

In response, Logan Paul laughed it off. He also claimed that he isn’t considering Ben Askren to be his comeback fight. However, it didn’t sit well with the former MMA champion as he cheekily answered, “Yeah, you need someone easier.”
