Paul is eschewing the big PPV purse and headline-grabbing opponents for this fight, with a determination to prove to the pundits that he truly belongs in the squared circle.
The criticism only grew further when he lost his only career fight to date against a 'proper' boxer back in February, losing a bad-blooded encounter with Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia. But, in fairness to Paul, it was only his seventh professional fight and he managed to knock Fury over before losing by the finest of margins on a split decision.
The Problem Child bounced back six months later to beat former UFC star Nate Diaz by unanimous decision and now has his sights firmly set on cementing his place as a genuine boxing force to be reckoned with in the pro ranks.
The man standing in front of him on Friday will be Andre August, with his own motivations for taking on Paul. The little known 35-year-old Texan enters his 13th career fight with the opportunity to make a mark on the boxing map. His only defeat came all the way back in 2018, and he comes into Orlando on a five-win streak.
The fight comes only a matter of a few weeks after Jake's brother, Logan Paul, won his first professional wrestling title in the WWE. With the help of a pair of brass knuckles, he overcame Rey Mysterio at the company's Crown Jewel event on Nov. 4 to seal the United States Championship.
