“This is the craziest moment of my life.
“This is for Shadow my security guard, who passed away 10 days ago. He told I would knock him out in the first-round. He said he had a vision, a dream. This has been the hardest 10 days of my life. I had to hold it together to keep this fight going and I’m just honoured to be here. Paul recently defeated fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib and NBA slam dunk champion Nate Robinson in the ring.There was outrage earlier on Sunday when X-rated content appeared regularly in the Triller broadcast, which also featured performances by Snoop Dogg, The Black Keys and Justin Bieber.
However, the biggest complaints centred around how the action in the ring was treated as a sideshow to the live music acts.
This means nothing. Askren is a college and national champion freestyle wrestler. He’s not a striker; has no idea how to box. Rob Whitaker easily beating Kelvin Gastelum is a much bigger story than Paul’s KO of a guy who even I would spark in Rd1.
Now he should fight him in the octogon.
I wonder how much he paid for the KO?
