Jake Paul vs Andre August report
Jake Paul brutally knocked out Andre August in the first round with a brutal right uppercut.
The YouTuber-turned prizefighter marked a new step in his career by facing a professional boxer with more experience.
And a perfectly-timed uppercut left August unable to beat the count and Paul handed the most legitimate win of his career.
He said: "I said first round knockout all week, I manifested this, this is the power of manifestation and I said I need to bring back the old Problem Child.
"I've been too nice with these people, letting them go into the later rounds. I set up my shot and he went night, night.
"I told him he was going to need a Celcius to wake up."
From the opening bell, Paul, 26, took the centre of the ring and got behind his jab.
He was doubling up his left hand and looking for the right behind it but August - who had 12 prior bouts - covered up well.
The little-known American, 36, also landed a couple of solid overhand rights himself but Paul took them well.
And then as the round was closing out, Paul set August up with a range-finding jab before firing over the finishing uppercut.
