Jake Paul seems ready to face the biggest adversary of his career. He will take on Ben Askren in a cruiserweight headliner on a Triller event. While traditional combat fans seem to favor Askren in the mix, Paul can rightfully land an upset if he pays heed to his brother Logan Paul’s advice.

‘The Maverick’ hosted his brother Jake Paul in a recent episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast and talked about several aspects of the nearing fight. Hence, ‘The Problem Child’ can focus on those aspects and secure a minor advantage over ‘Funky’.

Logan Paul said, “Ben does have a chin, and a head. Most, not all. But Ben’s head is abnormally large. I noticed. Like, I wish my head was that big.”
