Jake Paul made quick work of veteran boxer Andre August with a first-round knockout Friday night at Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Fla.
Paul, 26, fought at cruiserweight (200-pound limit) to increase his credibility as a title contender after facing former MMA fighters in his first six bouts. August, 35, is a career professional boxer who has last fought in August after a nearly four-year layoff and had a five-bout winning streak.
Paul (8-1, five KOs) unleashed a right uppercut that floored August (10-2-1, five KOs) and the referee stopped the fight with 28 seconds left in the first of eight scheduled rounds.
Paul, a former MMA fighter and actor, said on the DAZN streaming service, “Right now, I’m focused on being the best in the world and creating one of the greatest sports stories in the history of sports: being able to become a world champion from Disney Channel. Now I’m lasered in.”
