Jake Paul vs Ben Askren live stream start time

The Paul vs Askren undercard is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. ET today (Saturday, April 17).
As for the main event, we expect Jake Paul vs Ben Askren to start around 11 p.m. ET.
It's going to be streamed online on FITE TV.

The Jake Paul vs Ben Askren live stream is on, and it should be worth some chuckles and maybe more. Plus, believe it or not: Paul is expected to win this thing. That's not just because Paul knocked out former NBA star Nate Robinson (prior to Tyson vs Jones Jr.), but because of Askren's last fight.

Yes, it almost seems like Ben Askren is the perfect challenge for Paul, as he was KO'd (quite violently, we should add) by UFC powerhouse Jorge Masvidal after 5 of their match. But before that, Askren wasn't just a punchline. 

Prior to getting smacked down by Masvidal, Askren was a champ in both Bellator and One FC. His chronic long term injuries proved cause enough to retire, though. Which means that the Logan Paul vs Ben Askren live stream is definitely a match that Paul has reason to think he will win.

As for the undercard? While Regis Prograis vs. Ivan Redkach and Steve Cunningham vs. Frank Mir are matches that would fit on most boxing cards, the bottom match is just as weird as the main event. Fitness industry entrepreneur and nightclub mogul Joe Fournier is taking on reggaeton singer Reykon.

That's the kind of nonsense we expect when a Paul brother is in the main event. Aside from his win over Nate Robinson, Jake Paul's other boxing match was a victory against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib. We'd ask if Jake Paul plans to fight against someone who could beat him, to make things interesting, but he doesn't seem to have any interest in losing.

There's also gonna be some fun on the show. Justin Bieber, The Black Keys, Doja Cat, Diplo, Doja Cat, Major Lazer and Saweetie are all set to perform. Oh, and we're getting a treat: the first performance from hip-hop supergroup Mt. Westmore, which is comprised of Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too $hort, and E-40.
