Jake Paul is a massive name in the YouTube industry who is currently shifting his focus to a full-time fighting career. Having scored two victories as a professional boxer and one beforehand, he\u2019s already made quite a name for himself \u2014 but he has yet to face off with a veteran fighter. This is set to change on April 16, when Paul is slated to take on former UFC star Ben Askren in the ring. While Askren is a mixed-martial artist, this upcoming bout has fans on both sides of the fence taking bets and paying attention, which accounts for the star-studded lineup they have performing for the fight. On March 17, it was revealed that some of the biggest names in the music biz would be taking part in the fight\u2019s festivities \u2014 and we\u2019re talking enough to render this event as a full-on concert, rather than a boxing match. View this post on Instagram Artists Doja Cat, Saweetie, Justin Bieber, the Black Keys, Diplo, and Major Lazer will be performing at Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17, a four-hour show that is being produced by actress Malea Rose and directed by the Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Bert Marcus. That\u2019s not all; Snoop Dogg, E-40, Ice Cube, and Too $hort\u2019s new rap group, Mt. Westmore, will be making their debut at the event \u2014 a huge development for fans of these OG hiphop artists. \u201cThis event is more like making a tentpole movie than a boxing match,\u201d Triller Network\u2019s co-controlling shareholder Ryan Kavanaugh said of the fight. \u201cAn all-star artist line-up with a boxing card that mixes pop culture phenoms, legends and rising stars; we are giving the world something that has never been seen or done before.\u201d It\u2019s no secret that Jake Paul and other YouTube boxers like to put on a bombastic event; Rick Ross also performed at KSI vs Logan Paul\u2019s final showdown, while YG performed at Jake Paul vs Nate Robinson. With just a month left until the fight goes live, Paul has certainly sparked the interest of fans of both music and boxing, alike, certainly setting a high bar for YouTuber boxing fights in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
