Jake Paul made short work of Andre August in a professional boxing match Friday night … knocking him out in the first round!!<\/p>\n
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n
Paul went toe-to-toe with August in the ring at Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, but the cruiserweight bout was over just minutes after it began.<\/p>\n
Check out the video … the boxers dance around the ring trading blows for a bit, yet nothing wildly exciting happens.<\/p>\n
That all changes at the 2:32 mark of the first round when Paul throws a powerful right uppercut, clocking August right in the kisser.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
August hits the canvas like a sack of potatoes and struggles to get back up to his feet as the referee stops the fight.<\/p>\n
Paul celebrates by raising his arm and waving goodbye to August with his gloved hand.<\/p>\n
With Friday’s victory, Paul has now improved his boxing record to 8-1 with 5 KOs. His only defeat came in February when he fought Tommy Fury, the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, losing in a split decision.<\/p>\n
