Jake Paul's Knockout Victims: Where Are They Now?

Updated: October 2026

Seven men have been stopped by Jake Paul in the professional ring — seven knockout victims across a 12-2 career. But what happened to them after the lights went out? Tracing Jake Paul's knockout victims means following seven very different career arcs, from fellow creators to MMA legends. A note on honesty: specific records and current activities below are described qualitatively, based on publicly available information, and should not be taken as verified career data.

The Full List: Jake Paul's Knockout Victims

Paul's seven stoppage wins, in order:

• AnEsonGib — TKO, round 1 (January 30, 2020, Miami)
• Nate Robinson — KO, round 2 (November 28, 2020, Los Angeles)
• Ben Askren — TKO, round 1 at 1:59 (April 17, 2021, Atlanta)
• Tyron Woodley — KO, round 6 at 2:12 (December 18, 2021, Tampa)
• Andre August — KO, round 1 at 2:32 (December 15, 2023, Orlando)
• Ryan Bourland — TKO, round 1 at 2:37 (March 2, 2024, Puerto Rico)
• Mike Perry — TKO, round 6 at 1:12 (July 20, 2024, Tampa)

The Creator and the Baller: Gib and Robinson

AnEsonGib, the fellow YouTuber, reportedly returned to content creation after the loss — the influencer boxing world he helped launch kept growing without him headlining it. His arc is the least documented of the seven, which is fitting: he was a participant in an experiment neither man fully understood yet.

Nate Robinson, the former NBA player, became a permanent meme the night Paul knocked him out — the image of him flat on the canvas in Los Angeles is one of the most circulated fight photos of the decade. Robinson has reportedly spoken openly in interviews about the experience, and as of publicly available information, he has remained a beloved basketball figure whose legacy was built long before boxing.

The MMA Stars: Askren, Woodley, and Perry

Ben Askren, the former MMA wrestler, reportedly leaned into media and commentary work after his fighting career wound down — the one-punch loss to Paul became a punchline, but Askren has generally taken it in stride publicly. His reputation as an elite grappler was forged over a long MMA career that one bad boxing night cannot erase.

Tyron Woodley, the former UFC champion, is the only man Paul fought twice — losing a decision, then getting knocked out cold in the rematch. Woodley has reportedly pursued music, media, and various combat-sports ventures since, remaining a visible personality. The rematch KO, at 2:12 of round six, remains the most brutal single punch of Paul's career.

Mike Perry, the bare-knuckle/MMA fighter, reportedly continued in combat sports after the sixth-round TKO loss in Tampa — durability is his brand, and one stoppage does not change a career built on absorbing damage. Of all seven victims, Perry was arguably the toughest out: it took Paul six rounds.

The Journeymen: August and Bourland

Andre August and Ryan Bourland occupy the quietest corner of this list. Both were journeyman pro boxers who took the Paul fights as professional opportunities — and both were stopped in the first round. Publicly available information about their subsequent careers is limited, which is itself typical of the journeyman's lot: they are the sport's essential labor, rarely followed after the spotlight moves on.

Their role in Paul's story, though, is permanent. The August and Bourland knockouts were the foundation of his post-Fury rebuild — proof he could stop professional boxers, not just crossover athletes.
