Who’s Performing at Triller Fight Club: Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren?

By Lucas Coll April 17, 2021

This Saturday, YouTuber-turned-pro-boxer Jake Paul and retired UFC star Ben Askren are going at it in a boxing match at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. While fight fans are looking forward to an exciting night of boxing, Triller Fight Club has more to offer than that. The show is also going to be jam-packed with entertainment from musical artists along with seven boxing matches on the fight card, and you can watch it all live with FITE.tv. Here’s what to expect from the event.

Triller is a popular online video streaming platform similar in many ways to TikTok, but has expanded in scope recently. Last November, Triller teamed up with the Legends Only League to host an exciting exhibition fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. with Jake Paul boxing former NBA player Nate Robinson as the co-main event. Now, Triller is diving further into the boxing world with its own Triller Fight Club promotion, with Jake Paul once again stepping into the ring — this time to face off against MMA fighter Ben Askren.

However, Triller Fight Club is putting a unique spin on boxing by adding some top-notch entertainment to the mix.

Also making its world debut will be new rap supergroup Mt. Westmore featuring Snoop Dogg (who himself provided color commentary at November’s Tyson vs. Jones event), Ice Cube, Too $hort, and E-40.

Triller Fight Club is bringing an exciting evening chock full of action and entertainment on Saturday. The show kicks off at 9 p.m. ET, and with multiple musical acts and seven fights planned, you can expect the fun to last the entire night.

Jake Paul Height: How Tall is the YouTuber-Turned-Boxer?

how tall is jake paul height triller presents mike tyson vs roy jones jr

Once seen as a bit of a novelty act in boxing, YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul, has quite firmly established himself as a competitor to watch lately. With a growing number of wins under his belt, no one can really question whether Jake Paul is a professional boxer anymore. He undoubtedly is, although he hasn't necessarily been tested yet, with his series of bouts against non-professional fighters. With the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren match coming up, we thought we'd check out how tall Jake Paul is and what his potential reach is.

Simply put, according to BoxRec, which keeps an eye on all the key statistics for boxers, Jake Paul, aka The Problem Child, is 6-feet, 1-inch (185cm) tall with a reach of 76 inches. Those are approximate measurements so could vary in real life, but it's important to acknowledge because Paul hasn't fought anyone over 5-foot-9-inches yet. When he went up against Deji Olatunji, the brother of British YouTuber KSI, he had a 6-inch advantage. It was the same with fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, while his bout against ex-NBA player, Nate Robinson still offered him a 4-inch advantage.

What is Triller Fight Club? A Beginner’s Guide

Triller Fight Club has arrived and it's not quite like any other combat sports league out there. Triller, a streaming-app-turned-fight-broadcaster, has been blazing a trail through the boxing world since hosting two explosive fights last fall -- one of which featured the return of none other than boxing legend Mike Tyson -- but in a clear bid to gain the edge in a competitive field, Triller is bringing some unique offerings to the table. Here's everything you need to know about the new Triller Fight Club and how you can tune in with FITE.tv.

Triller got its start as a video-sharing social media app (similar to TikTok, its main competitor), but in November 2020, it hosted two notable boxing matches: An exhibition fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., along with a professional bout between Jake Paul and Nate Robinson. Triller subsequently outbid DAZN and Top Rank Boxing for the airing rights to the upcoming match between Unified Lightweight Champion Teofimo Lopez and George Kambosos, later announcing another pay-per-view fight card featuring Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren as the headliner.
