Ben Askren is a professional fighter and one of the world’s greatest wrestlers who’d also be the first to admit that striking was never his go-to choice in the ring. In fact, throwing hands at his opponent was never part of his game plan. Instead, this two-time Hodge Trophy winner and NCAA wrestling champion always relied on his superior grappling ability to win fight, after fight, after fight. So why has this former wrestler, who’s also spent some time in the world of MMA, decided that his next challenge should be a boxing match against YouTuber Jake Paul?
