Jake Paul shocked everyone by knocking out Andre August in the first round of their fight on Friday in Orlando with a clean punch.

The fight was Paul’s second time facing a professional fighter. In February, he lost by points to Tommy Fury, but this time, the YouTube star did much better.

Before August, 35, hit Paul, 26, with a strong combination hook to the head, Paul, 26, was quick off the starting bell and threw straight rights during the middle of the fight.

August came into the fight with a 10–1–1 record and five knockouts, while Paul only had four. August failed to beat the referee’s count, which ended the fight. At 2:32 of the opening round, Paul was knocked out. This made his record 8-1 (5 KOs).

“I said first-round ko all week; I made this happen,” Paul said in the ring after his latest win. This was his second win in a row, after a decision over UFC legend Nate Diaz in August.

“This is the power to make things happen. I’ve been too nice to these people, letting them make it to later rounds.

He went to sleep. “I’m amazed at how you can motivate these kids. You can do anything you set your mind to and get to the top.

“Next, I’ll fight more boxing prospects to get more experience and spend more time in the ring in front of the cameras.”

I also have smoke for the money fights if they want to come. But right now I’m focused on being the best in the world and making this story one of the best in sports history.

Paul also said that he would be making a statement next week about his next move within the ring.

The athlete, who is 26 years old, signed to join the Professional Fighters League earlier this year. The MMA organization thinks he will make his start in 2024.

Paul hit a great shot that ended the fight. He hadn’t done that in a fight since 2021. In other news, Yoenis Tellez and Lorenzo Medina were knocked out very badly, and Elijah Flores, Alexander Gueche, or Zachary Randolph won early on.

After losing his first fight, which was painful, to Tommy Fury to Saudi Arabia earlier this year, he has now won his last two. During the summer, he easily beat UFC great Nate Diaz.

He is likely to name his next opponent within the next few days, as he still wants to fight professional boxing as he moves on in his career.

Franchon Crews-Dezurn beat Shadasia Green, who was promoted by Paul, to become the women’s WBC super-middleweight world champion on Friday night’s undercard.
