Jake Paul vs Andre August LIVE: Huge KO in first round and undercard results tonight
Jake Paul #JakePaul
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.

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).
“I said first-round knockout all week, I manifested this,” Paul said in the ring after his latest victory, which followed a decision win over UFC icon Nate Diaz in August.
“This is the power of manifestation. I’ve been too nice with these people, letting them get into the later rounds. He went night-night.
“[Next I’ll fight] more boxing prospects, [gain] more experience, more time in the ring under the bright lights. If the money fights wanna come, I’ve got smoke for them, too. But right now, I’m focused on being the best in the world and creating one of the greatest sports stories in the history of sports.
“It’s incredible to inspire these young kids. Whatever you want to do, you can pursue it and rise to the top.”
Paul also teased an announcement next week, regarding his next move in the ring. The 26-year-old signed with the Professional Fighters League earlier this year, and he is expected to make his debut in the MMA promotion in 2024.

Navarro seems remarkably lucid, given how close he looked to being finished in Round 3.

Round 2
Navarro presses the action again, fighting behind his right hand.
Navarro is really loading up on his shots, but it’s paying off so far; he’s stifling Tellez and keeping the younger fighter moving and thinking, which is exhausting for the under-pressure boxer.
As in the first round, though, Navarro is slowing down now, and Tellez is taking the chance to come forward.

Round 2
Temple with the accuracy he’s been missing! He steps in and drops Medina, who is soon up and claiming that Temple stepped on his foot and that it should be ruled a trip!
Medina, still just 19 years old by the way, is able to compose himself and quickly fires back! He wobbles Temple slightly with a right cross, but now Temple connects with another right of his own.
Medina had never been dropped as a pro before this round.
The replay shows that Temple *did* step on his foot, though!

Round 1
Temple just misses with a left hook, as Medina shows off great hand speed to land a right cross.
Again Temple is just off the mark, this time with a right cross of his own. He backs up Medina but is still struggling for accuracy.

It’s a great week for combat-sports fans, with Paul vs August moments away, UFC 296 taking place tomorrow night, and the Day of Reckoning event next week. And that’s not even to mention Sunny Edwards vs Jesse Rodriguez, which is set for tomorrow evening, too.
At Day of Reckoning, Anthony Joshua boxes Otto Wallin on the same card as Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker, and this week saw the release of a strange, zombie-themed trailer for the mega-event in Saudi Arabia.
I spoke to the trailer’s director, Romain Chassaing, about how it came together…

Jake Paul vs Andre August LIVE: Exclusive interview with Paul
00:05 , Alex Pattle
“The deepest insults are the ones that you believe to be true within your own mind,” Paul told me earlier this year. “Those are your insecurities. If I’m attacking these people’s insecurities, they’re gonna get all riled up, p****d off, bent out of shape.”
Paul, for his part, does not seem to take anything that anyone says about him remotely personally. “When they say anything about me, I’ve dealt with all my insecurities as a man. I’ve looked myself in the mirror and gone through so many spiritual, healing journeys. You don’t just all of a sudden not have insecurities, but I’ve dealt with mine. So, if someone brings them up, it’s like… I don’t care, because I love myself.”
He hasn’t always loved himself, though.

Friday 15 December 2023 20:31 , Alex Pattle
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.
August, 35, is a relative unknown in the boxing world, but the American has a 10-1-1 record with five knockout wins to Paul’s four.
