Jake Paul slammed over \u201cstaged\u201d Andre August knockout DAZNYouTube-boxer Jake Paul is being accused of \u201cstaging\u201d his viral knockout over Andre August in the first round of their December 15 bout. Jake Paul is one of the most prolific influencer-boxers on the net, boasting a 8-1 professional record with five wins by KO. Although Paul has faced off against other internet stars and former pro athletes, his December 15 bout against Andre August was decidedly less hyped than his previous bouts, which followed his first-ever loss against Tommy Fury and a big win against Nate Diaz earlier in the year. Fans were skeptical about Jake\u2019s chances against August, a 10-1 pro boxer; but Jake managed to quash expectations after knocking out his opponent in the very first round. Jake Paul accused of \u201crigging\u201d knockout victory over Andre August However, many viewers didn\u2019t believe the knockout was real. In fact, a fair few commenters are insisting that the entire fight was totally \u201cstaged.\u201d \u201cNever seen a fight so staged in my life,\u201d one user said on Twitter\/X. \u201cI\u2019ve seen only one angle of this knockout. Where\u2019s a good angle ? I feel like this was hella rigged. I want to see the punch!\u201d another wrote. \u201cHow much was he paid to get slept, I wonder,\u201d yet another posited. Thus far, neither Jake nor August have yet to respond to these comments\u2026 but it wouldn\u2019t be the first time the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 has been accused of fixing his matches. In 2021, two years before they would face off in the boxing ring, Tommy Fury notably accused Jake of \u201crigging\u201d his past fights ahead of their then-proposed match in December of that year. \u201cWhen his fights aren\u2019t rigged, he can\u2019t win,\u201d Tommy said. \u201cLet\u2019s be truthful here. When his fights are not rigged, and they\u2019re not set up, he loses.\u201d Years later, it looks like this sentiment is still being said about the YouTube star, who is currently sitting pretty with a new win under his belt and a big announcement on the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
