JAKE PAUL made an emphatic debut into the world of professional boxing after destroying AnEsonGib in one round to set up a future clash with KSI.
Following months of back-and-forth barbs between the two YouTubers, the American comfortably came out on top via TKO just 2 minutes 18 seconds into their Miami bout.

Speaking after the fight, Paul, 23, squared up to Logan’s vanquisher KSI in the ring after making it clear he wanted to avenge his brother’s defeat.
He told DAZN: “KSI is next. Where is that p***y at? KSI is going to get clocked next.
“I didn’t have to f***ing win by two points…You had to beat my bro by a made call.
“Let’s make it happen.”
The younger Paul had lived up to his words by sending a lively Gib, 23, to the canvas THREE times with a right hand capping off a first-round stoppage.

Jake Paul
Paul, who displayed the composure lacked by his older brother Logan in November, capitalised on the benefits of his size advantage as he happily boxed on the back foot.
The American dropped his British opponent easily with jabs as Gib’s unique fighting stance left him looking like spaghetti on legs.
Paul said: “That was lit. I’m taking a moment to soak it in, I caught the boxing bug, I put the work in and I’m in love with this sport.
“My power and speed took him out in the first round.
“I dedicated the last five months of my life to this, I sacrificed everything for this. You all said this was my best competitor and I silenced him in one round.
“I didn’t even get to showcase my boxing ability.
“I think the first knockdown was with the jab which is something we worked on.
“My coach said he thought it was going in one and we visualised a first-round knockout for two months.”
