Jake Paul has a new target and the same disturbing tactics.
The YouTube star is fighting UFC veteran Ben Askren in his next boxing match, scheduled for April 17. As Paul did when he tried to lure Conor McGregor into the ring, Paul involved the significant other from Askren.
“She’s great, like two cs – thicc,” Paul told Ariel Helwani of ESPN.com. “Thicc as she is real thicc. So, I don’t know, like, I just thought she was bad. I do not know. I mean, maybe after beating Ben. I do not know.”
The question was asked after Helwani noted that Paul just followed Askren’s wife Amy and Triller, the PPV provider who organizes Paul’s fights on Instagram.
Ben Askren, who is 19-2 in his MMA career, accepted the bizarre praise in the sport. Just like Amy, who posted a photo of her mini-van on Instagram with the caption, “thicc lady whip”.
Paul made fun of McGregor’s fiancee, Dee Devlin, recently when he was trying to push McGregor into a boxing match.
“What the hell is going on, you Irish ct,” said Paul in a nasty Instagram post. “Good morning, Conor McGregor – I know that you are probably hitting old guys in a bar right now, or maybe you are masturbating because you are tired of fucking your wife.
“I mean, she’s four, Conor – you could do a lot better. Our team sent you a $ 50 million offer this morning … the biggest fight offer you’ve ever received, but you’re afraid to fight me, Conor. “
Paul gave up the fight against McGregor just before the Irishman’s defeat at UFC 257 to Dustin Poirier on Saturday night.
“I wanted to piss you off. Do you know? I wanted to make a lot of noise and I wanted it to become personal immediately because I really believe I can beat Conor McGregor, ”said Paul, who punched former Knick Nate Robinson in his most recent fight, rationalized in the same ESPN interview.
“And people don’t want to watch a fight that everyone is thinking about, ‘Hey, buddy, good luck tomorrow! This is not the type of fighter I am. If we’re going to get into a fight, I don’t like it, I’m going to destroy it, and anyone you are affiliated with is part of the wrath and can be attacked. “
