Jake Paul has confirmed his opponent has signed a contract to fight him in October.
The YouTube star was due to return to the ring earlier this month but saw bouts against first Tommy Fury and then Hasim Rahman Jr fall apart. Fury was denied entry to the United States before Paul pulled the plug on a clash with Rahman Jr following a row over the weight limit.
Paul, who will fight for the sixth time in the professional ranks, has not named his opponent but said last weekend he would have a professional record and that the fight would be held at 185lb. Paul has previously fought at 190lb but sees his long-term future at the light-heavyweight limit of 175lb. On Wednesday, he tweeted simply: "Opponent inked. October is mine."
