Jake Paul trolls Ben Askren\u2019s coach with prank call pretending to be ESPN Instagram: benaskren \/ jakepaulYouTuber Jake Paul has continued his training tradition by prank-calling upcoming opponent Ben Askren\u2019s coach, pretending to be someone from ESPN requesting an interview. Jake Paul has had his attention almost entirely on his boxing career as of late, getting into drama with various fighters and trying to set up fights with huge names for even bigger amounts of money. The YouTube star is set to fight pro-MMA fighter Ben Askren on April 17, and fans are waiting in anticipation for the fight, torn over who has the better chance at winning. Askren even posted screenshots of DMs between him and the younger Paul brother, that showed a fierce exchanging of insults between them ahead of the upcoming fight. Jake definitely isn\u2019t someone to shy away from making the build-up to his fights as drama-filled as possible, and for this training camp he decided to continue his tradition of prank calling his opponent\u2019s coach. He previously did this with Nate Robinson\u2019s coach prior to their fight in November, so Jake was excited to recreate the prank with his new opponent. Jake Paul pranks Ben Askren\u2019s coach After getting Ben Askren\u2019s coach K9 Bundrage\u2019s number from boxer J\u2019Leon, Jake had friend Dcut make the call. He pretended to be a reporter from sports outlet ESPN, saying they were \u201creaching out to both camps to see how Ben\u2019s looking.\u201d K9 revealed that Ben is, \u201clooking very good,\u201d and that he\u2019s \u201cactually better than I actually thought he was gonna be. \u201d He also went onto say that he\u2019s \u201cvery happy to be working with him\u201d and that he \u201cthanks him for the opportunity.\u201d Topic starts at 7:59 However, the call took another turn when Dcut said, \u201cone more question. What do you think it\u2019s gonna taste like when Jake Paul knocks Ben the f**k out, and he sh*ts on him?\u201d Askren\u2019s coach seemed taken aback by the sudden change in topic, saying, \u201cyou\u2019re such a hater, you\u2019re such a hater. And the joke\u2019s on you homie.\u201d Jake finished the call with one final comment, before the trio hung up, looking thrilled thanks to their bizarre prank. Fans will be waiting to see if Jake has any more tricks up his sleeve before the fight in April, but fans seem to be enjoying the YouTuber\u2019s content in the lead-up to the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
