Former Knicks player Nate Robinson said he was doing “OK” after getting knocked out by Jake Paul less than two minutes in to the second round of his pro boxing debut Saturday.
“Thank you everyone for all of the well wishes, I’m OK,” the 36-year-old wrote on Instagram shortly after Saturday’s fight. “I appreciate @triller for the opportunity as well as everyone that has backed me during the fight. 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.”
In the undercard before the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. exhibition bout at Staples Center in Los Angeles, Robinson struggled against the YouTube sensation and was knocked out with an overhand right.
