This time, it seems, Jake Paul really means business. The former Disney and YouTube star has put plenty of time into his burgeoning boxing career, with even the odd pugilistic purist impressed by the Problem Child's improving skill. Yet even he knows that wins against former MMA fighters (Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley) or one-time NBA stars (Nate Robinson) won't cut it to be taken seriously, especially after losing an eight-round split decision to ex-Love Islander Tommy Fury—the only opponent approaching a boxer on his resumé—in his only defeat back in February.
The millions of dollars he usually makes have been put aside in favor of fighting August, a boxer who lacks the big-name draw of many recent match-ups. "This is probably just a break-even fight for me," Paul said recently. "He’s a beast, he's a dog, and he's coming to win. This is his make-or-break moment as a boxer himself. It's gonna be a really good fight."
Paul is correct that this could be a breakthrough moment for Andre August, too. The 35-year-old has won 10 of his 12 fights since turning pro in 2013 and is on a five-bout uneaten streak beating Brandon Martin on points in (appropriately enough) August.
He may be coming into this as a boxer for Paul to beat and look ahead to bigger things in 2024, but August hits hard and has more than a decade's professional experience behind him to cause the upset.
