Pete Davidson is joining the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren pay-per-view party.
According to TMZ Sports, the comedian and Saturday Night Live star is set to join Snoop Dogg on the commentary team for the Triller Fight Club event.
The pay-per-view boxing match between the former mixed martial arts champion and YouTube star is set for Saturday, April 17 and it will be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
Triller’s pay-per-view event will come with a $49.99 price tag, according to a release.
The play-by-play announcers for the event will be more traditional voices for the boxing crowd in Ray Flores, Al Bernstein, and Mike Coppinger.
Triller previously announced a star-studded musical lineup for the event as well, proving that they are looking to put on a show to remember.
The lineup will include Justin Bieber, Snoop Dogg, Saweetie, The Black Keys, Doja Cat, and Diplo. Snoop’s rap supergroup, Mt. Westmore, with Ice Cube, E-40, and Too $hort, will be making its debut at the event.
Askren, a former Bellator and ONE Championship welterweight titleholder, has been documenting his training in the gym for their 8-round, exhibition match.
Paul, meanwhile, is doing part of his training in Florida with UFC star Jorge Masvidal, who nearly decapitated Askren with a flying knee in the now-viral knockout which catapulted Masvidal into superstardom.
In his last appearance inside of the ring, Paul viciously knocked out former NBA Slam Dunk Contest winner Nate Robinson on the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. pay-per-view.
We’ll have to see if he can find the same success against a real fighter.
