YouTuber Jake Paul knocked out UFC fighter Ben Askren in under two minutes of the first round of a Triller Fight Club event on Saturday.
YouTube star Jake Paul knocked out UFC veteran Ben Askren in the first round of their main event at the Triller Fight Club celebrity boxing event on Saturday night, securing his fastest win by laying out the mixed martial artist with a hard right rook. Paul ended the fight card in devastating fashion by knocking Askren out at the 1:59 mark in the first round of the match at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Paul was the aggressor for pretty much the entire bout, with Askren landing few, if any punches. The YouTube-personality-turned-boxer blistered Askren with a right hand that sent him face-first to the canvas. Askren took the mandatory eight count and made it back to his feet. It appeared that things would continue but the referee waved the fight off even though Askren said he was ready to go.
