Jake Paul scores first-round KO against ex-UFC fighter Ben Askren

Jake Paul's boxing career keeps on growing, and now he has his fastest win yet.

The YouTube star defeated UFC fighter Ben Askren by knockout in the first round of a Triller Fight Club event on Saturday, laying out the mixed martial artist with a hard right rook.

Askren got off the canvas, but referee Brian Stutts decided to call the fight despite Askren pleading his case. The fight was called a little more than a minute before the first round.

The victory improves Paul's professional boxing record to 3-0, with his previous wins coming against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib and former NBA player Nate Robinson.
