Jake Paul to Fight Professional Boxer Andre August on December 15 in Orlando, Streamed on DAZN

Experienced Boxer August, on a Five-Fight Winning Streak, Expected to be Paul's Toughest Challenger to Date in His First Bout Outside of Pay-Per-View

  • Jake Paul is set to face Andre August in a professional boxing match in Orlando, Florida, on December 15, with the event streaming on DAZN instead of Paul's usual pay-per-view format.
  • August, a 35-year-old Houston native with a track record of 10-1-1 and five knockouts, has been on a winning streak for his last five matches, marking him as Paul's potentially most difficult contest yet.
  • Paul, a former YouTube star who holds a 7-1 record with four knockouts, is shifting strategy by challenging a professional boxer after sticking mostly to bouts against older MMA fighters in his career so far.
  • Both fighters have shown high stakes confidence in the upcoming match, with Paul aiming to prove his 'greatness' to the world and August vowing to 'ring [Paul's] bell and send him back to YouTube for good'.
  • The shift to professional opponents signifies a departure from Paul's previous strategy and a move towards greater legitimacy in his boxing career, as previous critics have asked for him to challenge established boxers.
