Ben Askren offered to submit Jake Paul with a guillotine choking if fans paid him via GoFundMe.
There is only one condition: the donations will have to exceed his battle scholarship, which according to ‘Funky’ is the biggest payday in his career.
‘One of you could start a GoFundMe – how much would you give me to strangle Jake Paul with a guillotine? If the number is bigger than my wallet, I might do it, ”Askren joked during the open training sessions (h / t The Mirror).
For what it’s worth, UFC middleweight Darren Till is also open to the idea.

Askren is surprised that he has been written off by so many MMA fighters and claims that he does not need more than three months of training in boxing to beat an ‘amateur’ like Paul.
‘Box, it’s different, of course, but I told someone the other day that I’m really good at athletics. I really wanted to be a great wrestler. I won NCAA titles and won the Olympics. I wanted to be a good mixed martial artist. I have won several investments in various organizations. “If I want to beat an amateur boxer, it does not take me more than three months to do it,” said the former welterweight champion of FC and Bellator.
Paul said Askren would forfeit his fight scholarship if he tried to shoot for removals, but according to MMA Fighting, the latter is still eligible to receive full payment, even if he is disqualified for trying MMA moves.
Askren towards Paul will be the headline of the Triller Fight Club PPV on Saturday, April 17 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
