JAKE PAUL was left speechless after Deontay Wilder brutally knocked out Robert Helenius in his return fight.
The YouTuber-turned boxer is equally as well known for his loud mouth as he is his for his heavy right hand.
But trash-talker Paul might have been left with nothing to say for the first time in his life after witnessing Wilder’s most recent KO.
The ex-WBC heavyweight champion landed a trademark right hand with Helenius out for the count and needing medical assistance.
Paul reacted by uploading a video on social media, with an open mouth and nothing to say.
The American, 25, may use it as inspiration for his next fight, against UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, on October 29 in Arizona.
