8:38 AM PT — Jake Paul is firing back at critics of his boxing career, urging them to stop the negativity following the announcement of his next opponent, pro boxer Andre August.
Paul is set to face the 10-1 cruiserweight fighter with five knockouts next month, describing the matchup as a serious challenge as he aims to establish himself as a legitimate world champion.
Paul expressed his confidence in the upcoming match by stating, “Ask and I shall deliver. August has more KOs, wins, and experience than me, but I like to gamble. The path to world champ starts here. Just straight up boxing.”
The 26-year-old Paul, with a record of 7-1 and four KOs, has faced criticism for fighting older MMA fighters with little boxing experience. His only loss came against Tommy Fury.
On the other hand, August, at 35, is recognized as the most legitimate opponent Paul has faced. This match is anticipated to satisfy purists eager to witness Paul against such a competitor.
August, standing at 5’10” and weighing 200 lbs, last competed in August, securing a victory via unanimous decision. His sole loss occurred in 2018. According to his Instagram page, he claims to be a Texas state champion.
Expressing his anticipation for the event, August stated, “I don’t talk very much. I’m all about that action! Jake Paul has the money, the fame, the team and the resources but he doesn’t have my hunger.”
“When that bell rings, I am going to go straight to Jake Paul and ring his bell and send him back to YouTube for good.”
The fight is scheduled for December 15 at the Caribe Royale in Orlando.
