YouTuber Jake Paul with a first round knockout over Ben Askren
5 years ago - Sportingbase
Jake Paul continued his professional boxing career with another early knockout victory over MMA legend Ben Askren.
The YouTube star has more than 20 million subscribers on the platform and has improved his record to 3-0.
At the halfway point of the first round, Paul landed a precise right hand dropping Askren to the canvas. The referee Brian Stutt was forced to call off the fight as Askren was on wobbly legs after beating the count.
Fights fans and critics are calling for Paul to finally face an experienced opponent. Askren was in no way known for his striking in MMA and it ultimately led to his downfall in the UFC.

With wins over another YouTuber and Nate Robinson in his first two fights, a win over Askren has not proven his out-and-out boxing ability.
Time will tell to see if Jake Paul will finally decide to take up an offer to face professional boxers on the biggest stage instead of weakened opponents who have no experience in the boxing ring.
