Jake Paul 's promotional company has confirmed he will be an underdog for his next fight as the YouTube star returns to the ring in October.
Paul, 25, was scheduled to fight for the first time this year on August 6 but his fights against Love Island star Tommy Fury and short-notice replacement Hasim Rahman Jr fell through. Fury was denied entry to the United States before Paul eventually moved on from the fight and chose Rahman Jr as a replacement, but that fight was scratched because of a row over the weight limit.
Competing in his sixth professional fight next month, Paul has not named his opponent but said they would have a professional record and the fight would be held at 185lb. Paul's label Most Valuable Promotions wrote of his next fight: "Next week we will announce Jake Paul’s next opponent. [He] will almost certainly be the underdog. He knows that and he wants that."
