Legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer isn’t one to make too many slip-ups in the Boxing ring, but he recently spoke out about a big mistake he made just before the Ben Askren vs. Jake Paul fight.
As fight fans watched from around the world, Buffer mispronounced Askren’s name during the fighter introductions, with the longtime announcer saying “Ben Askew” instead of “Ben Askren”.
In a way, the moment added to the hilarity of the event; which included unusual commentary by Oscar De La Hoya and Snoop Dogg.
Buffer said in a recent interview with TooFab that he regrets making the verbal mistake leading up to the big fight.

It was am embarassing error and one that fans made sure they noticed by tweeting about it.

In another fight, Jake Paul won the playoffs against a former professional athlete, saying he would clean the floor when he became a YouTube boxer. Paul expelled former UFC fighter Ben Askren in the first round of their pseudo-celebrity fight.
Although his boxing career is still young, some on social media suggested that Paul should increase his opponent’s class, as a boxer who is still at his professional peak – or at least still a pro athlete. However, much more in the online chat was based on the absorption taken by Askren.
Take, for example, shortly after the end of the fight, the phrase “Ben Askew” was trending, as presented by ring announcer Michael Buffer. It’s likely to go to whether the former UFC has won or lost, but it’s naturally tweeted much more as a substitute for an insult.
