Jake Paul and Ben Askren clashed before their heated face-off following an entertaining pre-fight press conference.

Paul and Askren squared off for the first time ahead of their high-profile boxing bout next month.

They traded 'blows' as the former UFC contender shoved his opponent in the face with the YouTuber throwing a little dig in retaliation during their head-to-head.

Paul and Askren also had a fiery exchange prior to the presser on Friday.

The 2-0 boxer, accompanied with his large entourage, stormed a room where Askren and his wife were waiting.

He threw something in his direction then tried to intimate him while mocking his social media antics.

Unfazed by his stunt, Askren laughed it off and hilariously joked: "That's definitely over the 6 person bubble!"

The confrontation between Paul and Askren got fight fans talking online.

One Twitter user wrote: "Paul walking around with a deep crew to feel big, while Ben content being alone... I wonder who will feel more comfortable alone in the ring."

A second tweeted: "This is like a very poor mans version of Conor McGregor. Dudes wants to be like him and just comes off fake and really douchey."

A third added: "The entire thing made Ben look like a clown - Paul is so unlikeable that it makes Ben look like a saint in comparison."

Paul and Askren taunted each other during the press conference before being involved in a minor scuffle.

Paul vs. Askren will headline a Triller fight card from Atlanta on April 17.
