Re-live updates from the main event and undercard in Orlando, Florida

Day of Reckoning trailer

Jake Paul secured a stunning, first-round knockout in his fight with Andre August on Friday, stopping the boxer with a clean uppercut in Orlando.

The fight marked Paul’s second outing against a professional boxer, following his points loss to Tommy Fury in February, and the YouTube star fared much better on this occasion.

Paul, 26, was light on his feet from the opening bell, slinging straight rights at the mid-section of August, before the 35-year-old landed a strong right hook to the head of his fellow American.

Out of nowhere, however, Paul snuck a brilliant right uppercut behind a jab to drop August badly. August, who entered the fight with a 10-1-1 record and five knockouts to Paul’s four, was unable to beat the referee’s count, signalling the end of the bout.

With the finish, which came at 2:32 of the first round, Paul improved his record to 8-1 (5 KOs). Re-live updates from Paul vs August and the undercard fights, below.

Paul told TMZ of his fight with August: “One hundred per cent, I’m foregoing a lot of money. This is probably a breakeven fight for me.

“I probably won’t even make money on it. It’s not about the money, it’s really about staying sharp and the experience of challenging myself in the ring with these guys. He’s a beast.”

Jake Paul vs Andre August LIVE

Jake Paul will fight professional boxer Andre August in Orlando tonight, as the YouTube star continues his quest to become a ‘world champion’.

Paul has gone 7-1 as a pro boxer, mainly beating mixed martial artists – including UFC stars Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley – but suffering his first loss in February, in his first bout with a boxer.

Paul, 26, lost to Tommy Fury on points that night, but the American bounced back with a decision win over Diaz in August. Now, Paul will test himself against a boxer again, insisting that his goal is to build towards a world-title fight.
