Jake Paul scored a highlight-reel-worthy knockout against Andre August on Friday night.
Stepping into the squared circle for the ninth time in his professional boxing career, the ‘Problem Child’ looked to add a win over a “legitimate boxer” after making a name for himself competing against a series of past-their-prime MMA stars.
Paul began the bout looking light on his feet and leading with the left jab while August attempted to work the body. Taking notice of August’s tendency to duck under every time he moved into land a body blow, Paul teed up a booming right uppercut that caught August on the button and sent him crashing to the canvas with less than a minute to go in the opening round.
