In one of the strangest sporting events of 2020, YouTube star Jake Paul faced off against former NBA dunk contest champion Nate Robinson in a celebrity boxing match – and Robinson’s first boxing match couldn’t have gone worse. Paul had a significant size advantage and some previous experience in the ring, and he completely outmatched Robinson in an amateurish, wild bout. Paul dropped Robinson in the first round, and then knocked him out cold with a right hand that caused Robinson to faceplant into the mat. (USA Today)

Following the social media trolling, Nate came forward to update concerned fans about his well-being.

To my coaches, trainers, fans, and teammates, I appreciate all of the time and support you guys put in with me…it wasn’t the outcome that we wanted, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to fight on the biggest stage that there has been. #holdat“
