The highly anticipated boxing Triller Fight Club boxing match between YouTube star Jake Paul and UFC veteran Ben Askren was over before the end of the first round.
Askren went for an overhand right hand to kick things off, chasing Paul to the ropes and being separated after they clinched up. Paul came back with a right hand of his own, then landing a jab before they clinched up again. Paul pushed forward with a hook and then a body strike. It only took a few seconds before Paul threw a jab and then knocked Askren down with a huge right hand. Though Askren was able to get up to his feet, the referee called the fight off, and Jake Paul was declared the winner.
Logan Paul had a great view of his brother @JakePaul’s knockout ?

This is Paul’s third win, and he has finished all three of his boxing bouts. He most recently knocked out Nate Robinson in the second round back in November.
