Jake Paul has attempted to prove he is serious about boxing. The YouTuber looks to erase any doubts regarding his career when he fights a game Andre August on December 15. The fight in the Caribe Royale in Florida airs on DAZN worldwide.
Paul has only faced a pro boxer once in his career. He lost against Tommy Fury in a close matchup where he knocked down the half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. He rebounded with a win against Nate Diaz, a former MMA fighter. Paul was going to fight another boxer next, but this specific fighter had to back out due to visa issues. He ended up with August as his opponent.
August turned pro in 2013 and has five wins via knockout. The 35-year-old is on a five-fight unbeaten streak, beating Brandon Martin in his last fight in August via unanimous decision.
Criticized for many matchups, Paul passionately defended facing August, someone who had fought opponents with a combined record of 34-65-5 before fighting him.

"Who, who, who? What are you a f------ owl? It's Andre August, that's who, shut the f--- up," Paul said on YouTube via talkSPORT. "The switch-up is crazy, from 'Fight a real boxer,' to, 'Who is this guy? What is he doing this for?' Make up your mind. But, you wanna know who I'm doing it for - me, my experience, to become world champion and doing it in front of everybody's eyeballs. I'm treating myself like a typical boxing prospect would do… Pound-for-pound, the great Terence Crawford fought a 9-14 opponent in his ninth fight."
