Breaking: Jake Paul Vs. Andre August Confirmed For December 15th
In some breaking boxing news, Jake Paul will fight Andre August at cruiserweight on December 15th, 2023, as the ‘Problem Child’ will face the second professional boxer of his career in a ten-round bout.
Paul will aim to continue the momentum that he has built, following his victory over Nate Diaz on August 5th, 2023. Paul secured a unanimous-decision win to beat Diaz, who was making his boxing debut.
The win came in the aftermath of Paul’s split-decision loss to Tommy Fury, which was the first defeat of his career, after having faced his first-ever professional boxer.
Standing in his way will be August. The latter is a professional boxer, who recently returned to the ring after four years out to beat Brandon Martin in August. His sole loss was against Eric Abraham, as his record stands at 10-1.
A win for Paul may increase the calls for the Fury rematch, or lead to talks over facing Diaz in an MMA bout.
