Watch Nate Robinson snatch a knockout in his first boxing match (Sports 1)

Alerts on Instagram, Facebook, Bat Talk and countless messages and phone calls.

These are pretty much the things that filled Jake Paul's day after defeating former NBA player Nate Robinson in an impressive knockout in the boxing match between the two in late November.

After that impressive win, the YouTuber received dozens, if not hundreds, of invitations from MMA fighters and boxers (including, at least reportedly, Conor McGregor), and tonight (Wednesday) to Thursday it looks like Paul has finally chosen the next opponent: the decorated MMA fighter Ben Askren , Who is expected to meet him at the boxing ring on March 28.



"Mr. Jake Paul, I would love to meet you in the arena," Askren said.

"I know you announced you wanted to fight me after you defeated the idler Nate Robinson and now it's going to happen. For me it's an easy decision. I'm going to make a lot of money to dismantle into pieces a guy impersonating an athlete. You may think I'm not a talented boxer, but to tell the truth, no You need high abilities to defeat you, "added Askren, who is considered an MMA fighter specializing in wrestling and ground fighting.



"I am a world-class athlete," Askern continued.

"I won NCAA wrestling titles and I was in the Olympics. I won championship belts in some MMAs and it's terribly funny that you turned yourself into a fighter and that you think you're tough. It's amazing to see a win over a boxer who's never been in the ring lift your spirits. ".

Ascarne is considered one of the greatest wrestlers in the United States in recent years, having won countless degrees in colleges.

From there he developed an impressive MMA career;

He fought in the biggest organizations in the world - the UFC and Blatter, until he announced his retirement from the industry in 2019, after declaring that he had run out of desire to fight.



Remarkably, Paul - who has so far recorded two pro fights in his career - is a favorite in a large portion of the betting agencies, but that is likely to change as the fight date approaches.

This is because Ascern is better known for his wrestling abilities and less for boxing abilities.
