Jake Paul training with Masvidal for Askren match
Jake Paul is getting some tips from Jorge Masvidal ahead of his boxing match against former UFC fighter Ben Askren.
The YouTube star shared a video Thursday of his training with Masvidal, who set the record for the fastest knockout in UFC history with a five-second win over Askren in 2019.

The footage comes days after Askren brushed off Paul's skills, calling the notion that he's good at boxing "delusional."
Paul holds a 2-0 record as a professional boxer, with his latest win coming against former NBA guard Nate Robinson in November.
