American YouTuber, actor and a professional boxer Jake Paul is trending as he beats Ben Askren in the Saturday boxing match in Atlanta.

The boxing match took place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta. It was a star-studded stadium with much more musical performances than the actual fights.

The event witnessed some amazing performances by popstars by Justin Bieber, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and many more.

The fight ended with Jake Paul knocking out his opponent Ben Askren under two minutes in mere 1:59th mark of the first round.

When Paul was interviewed after the match he said, “This is the craziest moment of my life. I told y’all I was gonna do it in the first round. I told y’all I’m a real fighter. I don’t know how many times I gotta prove myself that this is for real.”

Jake started with a rhythm of his left hand followed by the right one and landed a jab on Ben’s face injuring the former MMA fighter who landed face-front at the canvas.

Even though Askren was back on his feet after being knocked out post the eighth count, the referee didn’t allow him to continue.

In the Saturday Night Live, Askren told Pete Davidson, “I feel so bad for the kids who are watching right now. I feel like an irresponsible mentor.”
