It’s a curious match-up, with Paul intentionally picking an unknown opponent, small venue and a basic DAZN broadcast (not PPV). He must be very confident of picking up a quick win and using it to promote what he hopes to do in 2024 (which likely includes matches with the KSIs of this world).
Before losing to Tommy Fury in February – in Paul’s first bout against a pro boxer – the YouTube star went 6-0 with wins over ex-UFC champions Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva among others.
After losing to Fury, the 26-year-old bounced back with another win over an ex-UFC star in Nate Diaz, but he is back in the ring with a pro boxer on Saturday.
Across from the American will be compatriot August, who is 35 years old and has a 10-1-1 record with five knockouts compared to Paul’s four.
If he loses to August, though, he can kiss any future marketability bye-bye.
The latest chapter in Jake Paul's boxing ring tale comes tonight as Andre August faces the YouTube brawler in Florida.
'The Problem Child' will be confident of ending a reasonably mixed 2023 on a high, having started the year by suffering defeat in Saudi Arabia to Tommy Fury to hand him a first career defeat.
The 26-year-old, however, then eased to a points victory over former UFC star Nate Diaz in August to get back on track, and now squares off against a boxer in the form of cruiserweight August.
The American is 10-1-1 as a professional, but has fought just once in the last four years and the 35-year-old is yet to make a name for himself in the sport.
A win on Friday night would be a big surprise, with Paul a strong favourite to move to 8-1 and set up a rematch with Fury in 2024 or a much-hyped showdown with KSI.
Despite his defeat by Fury, and the fact that his wins have come against a succession of MMA fighters, Paul remains adamant that he will one day become a world champion.
"I possess the talent, hard work, skill set, all the attributes of a world champion, so I am that already and I'm willing and manifesting the rest into existence to become the world champion," he said.
Jake Paul vs Andre August will take place later tonight on Friday December 15, 2023 at the Caribe Royale Orlando in Florida.
For fans in the UK, the main event ring walks are set to take place at around 3:30am GMT early on Saturday morning, although that is subject to change depending on the length of the bouts earlier on the card. The undercard should start at around 12:30am.
