Jake Paul is back in the boxing ring this evening, facing a relatively unknown opponent in Andre August.
Paul built a 6-0 record before losing to Tommy Fury in February, a result which came in the YouTube star’s first fight with a professional boxer.
The 26-year-old, who previously beat ex-UFC champions Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva among others, then bounced back by outpointing UFC icon Nate Diaz in August, but he is back in action against a pro boxer this weekend.
The American will face compatriot August, who is 35 years old and has a pro record of 10-1-1 and five knockouts compared to Paul’s four.
