Moment Jake Paul delivers first-round TKO in Ryan Bourland fight

Jake Paul scored a first-round TKO of Ryan Bourland on Saturday, stopping the professional boxer before Amanda Serrano’s title defence was cancelled at the last moment.

Paul, 27, quickly split his fellow American’s guard with repeated jabs, before adding right hands to the body and head to wobble Bourland, 35, against the ropes. Bourland, who entered Puerto Rico with a 17-2 pro record, scrambled around in a bid to recover, but he was eventually overwhelmed in the corner.

As Paul poured on punches, Bourland fell to his knees, and the referee stepped in to wave off the cruiserweight bout. With that, YouTube star Paul moved to 9-1 as a pro. The result in San Juan marked his second straight win against a pro boxer, with the “Problem Child” having knocked out Andre August in round one in December. Before Saturday (2 March), Bourland had not fought since September 2022.

Paul vs Bourland was set to be followed by a main event between Serrano and Nina Meinke, but the unified featherweight title fight was cancelled in a bizarre scene. After Paul stopped Bourland, Meinke entered the ring in her fight gear, while Serrano arrived in sunglasses and a hoodie. A ring announcer revealed that the main event had been cancelled, and that the crowd would receive 100 per cent refunds.

Champion Serrano, 35, said she had not been cleared to compete by doctors, owing to an eye injury. Re-live updates from Paul vs Bourland and the bizarre cancellation of Serrano vs Meinke, below.

Javon Walton vs Joshua Torres – Round three

Boos right off the bat in this round! Torres is on the front foot, feeling more confident than he looked in round one, I’d say.

He’s put off balance by a blitz from Walton, however. Nice counter left hook to the head by Walton, after Torres throws a hook to the body.

Walton slips on the canvas. He’s back up and times a short cross very well! A lot of the exchanges are quite sloppy at the moment, though.
