In April 2021, the former Bellator and ONE Championship titleholder ended his retirement from combat sports to make his boxing debut against Paul who was facing a real fighter for the first time. The 25-year-old had previously picked up two wins in professional boxing against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib and NBA player Nate Robinson who he easily dealt with.
Askren was known for his elite-level grappling skills and distinct lack of striking ability during his MMA career, but when was matched against the former Disney actor many expected him to upset the odds as he had fighting experience unlike anyone else on Paul’s CV.
