promised to deliver a memorable performance going into his ninth professional boxing match with Andre August on Saturday at the Caribe Royale Hotel in Orlando.
In the end, “The Problem Child” , lived up to his claim by knocking out the three-time Golden Gloves winner at the 2:32 mark of the very first round.Interestingly, Paul walked out with Team USA Boxing stars Morelle McCane and Joshua Edwards, dancing to “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” However, once in the ring, he was all business. Paul displayed good movement at the onset and eventually sent August crashing to the canvas with a vicious right uppercut to end the contest on the spot.
Aspiring to become a world champion down the line, Paul, 26, has recently directed his attention towards seasoned boxers. The-signed star is expected to compete for mixed martial arts organization in 2024 in either an MMA or hybrid-rules contest. Notably, Paul set a record by achieving the highest recorded gate for a boxing event in Orlando’s history. Puerto Rican fighter Miguel Cotto’s bout vs. Delvin Rodriguez at the Amway Center, which has a capacity of 20,000, in October 2013 previously held the record.
“I said first-round knockout all week... I manifested this,” Paul said. “This is the power of manifestation. I said I needed to bring back the old ‘Problem Child,’ I've been too nice to these guys letting them go to the later rounds. ... I don't know what I proved tonight, you know. I'm just going to do me. This is part of the process, the next step to becoming world champion. ... All I wanted to do was give y'all a knockout for Christmas.”Francis Ngannou vs.
