Jake Paul Knocks Out Ben Askren

After months of talk surrounding the fight between the MMA fighter and the YouTuber/boxer, the match was over within in the first round, 1:59.

There were high hopes for Ben to win, UFC’s Dana White even put up $1 million USD against Paul, but in the end, the retired wrestler/MMA fighter was hit with a powerful right hand. The referee exchanged some words with Askren but ultimately waved the fight off as he felt Askren was unable to fight.

While many fans did comment that Ben’s striking had improved with the help of Freddie Roach, it was not enough to secure him the win as Jake Paul’s boxing record now moves to 3-0. However Askren received the biggest payday of his career from this match.
