KSI in hysterics as Jake Paul ‘slapped Askren’s a**’ in fiery press conference
KSI was left in stitches as Jake Paul “slapped Ben Askren’s a**” in their heated press conference clash.
The American faced off against his third professional boxing opponent for the first time ahead of their fight on April 17.
And it all kicked off in Las Vegas, with the ex-UFC star palming off the YouTube in the face to earn a shove in the back.
Paul was riled for the meeting, getting himself in a jittery state before letting out all his rage with the shove.
But KSI, who beat the American’s brother Logan in their November 2019 rematch, laid into the younger sibling with a brutal assessment of the clash.
Writing on his Instagram story, the Brit shared a clip of the 24-year-old’s shove on Askren as well as the slap he made before it.
Accompanying the vid, he wrote: “Did Jake just slap his a** or punch him? Either way Ben didn’t even flinch.”
And he shared another clip speaking to the camera while laughing and saying: “I’m dead, I’m dead.
“Ben literally put his hand in Jake’s face, didn’t even care about him, and then Jake’s there like ‘what’, slapped his a** or gave him a body punch.
“Ben didn’t even f***ing flinch!”
“Then Jake puts his whole might into that push and hardly moved him. I’m dead mate – I can’t wait to see Jake get f***ing flattened.”
After their press conference, Askren decided to put his hand on Paul’s face while the YouTuber was talking during the face-off.

The 24-year-old responded by slapping him across the side and showing the 36-year-old in the back.
“Don’t f***ing touch me,” Paul was then heard saying – but the former MMA man, without even flinching, simply walked back to his team with a smile on his face.
The YouTuber comes into the fight unbeaten in two professional bouts, having knocked out fellow Internet star AnEsonGib and ex-NBA man Nate Robinson last year.
While Askren, taking on his first professional boxing bout, lost his last UFC fight in 2019 to Demian Maia by submission.
