The event, which aired exclusively on DAZN, took place live from Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot in Suan Juan, Puerto Rico.

‘Paul vs. Bourland’ served as the co-main event of the evening, with the Amanda Serrano and Nina Meinke fight for the unified featherweight world championship headlining the card.

Jake Paul (9-1) was returning to action for the first time since scoring a nasty first-round knockout victory over Andre August this past December. Prior to that, ‘The Problem Child’ was coming off a unanimous decision victory over UFC legend Nate Diaz, which was preceded by his lone career loss where he dropped a split decision to Tommy Fury.

Meanwhile, Ryan Bourland (17-3) was making his twentieth career professional boxing appearance this evening. The 35-year-old had entered tonight’s contest boasting a three-fight winning streak, his most recent being a TKO victory over Santario Martin.

Tonight’s ‘Paul vs. Bourland’ bout resulted in another first-round finish for the fighter known as ‘The Problem Child’. Jake Paul was able to get off to a fast start with his jab, which led to him opening up with some big combinations. After rocking Bourland with a few hard shots, Paul quickly proceeded to swarm in for the finish, which he eventually earned thanks to a barrage of punches (see that here).
