British billionaire nightclub owner Joe Fournier will feature on the undercard to Jake Paul and Ben Askren’s bout next month.

YouTube sensation Paul faces former MMA star Askren on April 17, with the other fights on the night being announced.

Former world champions Antonio Tarver and Regis Prograis will both be in action with Tarver taking on former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir.

Another intriguing battle sees Fournier settle his beef with rapper Reykon after the pair had an altercation in a Miami nightclub.

Fournier has experience in the ring, holding a professional record of 8-0 (8 KOs) and previously featuring on a David Haye undercard at the O2 Arena in 2016.

Reykon, real name Andres Felipe Robledo Londono, has never boxed before and Fournier does not expect a long contest.

“I’ll give it to Reykon he’s a really brave man but also a really stupid one," said Fournier.

"April 17 he’s really going to understand why picking a bar fight with me was about as good of a decision as those stupid tattoos that he thinks make him look tough.

"Anyway don’t blink as I’ll be surprised if he can handle my power for more than one minute! I’m more worried about the guest list for my after party at Cheetahs."

Fournier has plenty of sporting experience captaining the England national basketball team 43 times and playing in France, Italy and the Middle East.

He also went to school with Mo Farah and has a network of celebrity friends and clients, being personal trainer to many.
