Jake Paul Ko'd Andre August in the last boxing match of the Golden Glove Champion
In his eighth professional fight, Paul apparently ended the career of a triple gold glove champion with a first round knockout.
The YouTube star was 7-1 in his fight with Andre August in December 2023. He had just defeated Nate Diaz earlier that year, coming back from the only stain on his record in Paul's defeat against Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.
Paul was confronted with criticism because in his early fighting he was confronted with MMA hunters and celebrities and decided to face a professional boxer in August to regain some credibility.
However, Augustus was not a hunter at the elite level, who had fought only once in four years before the game after a medium career as a professional.
He was successful as a golden glove champion as an amateur, so he could have pays a threat to Paul during their fight in Florida.
152 seconds in, every chance that it would have disappeared. Paul unleashed a barrage at the start of the fight in August and struggled to put a hand on the YouTuber in the first round.
Paul landed a number of impressive body shots on August, before a clean puncture was followed by a devastating uppercut that almost took him off his feet, giving the former amateur champion to the ground.
It was as clear as you could see, a first round knockout in an impressive performance.
Although he did not make an official announcement about his future, it seems clear that the loss for Paul was the last fight of Augustus as a professional boxer.
Andre August's trainer admitted that he would retire after the defeat of Jake Paul
Although August has never announced his retirement, his team certainly thinks he has hung his gloves after such a devastating knockout.
In an interview with USA Today, August's trainer Justin Desshone admitted that the boxer will probably retire after the KO loss and claims that he does not want to fight again.
“I think my boy is retiring,” said Desthone.
“I don't think he wants to fight more. I had something like” this is it, bro. “
Almost two years later, Augustus has to step back into the Ring and removed his social media, indicating that his days in the spotlight are over.
