Jake Paul opponent confirmed as American YouTuber returns to boxing ring in December

Paul was last in action four months ago when he picked up a unanimous decision victory over former UFC star Nate Diaz.

The 26-year-old boasts a 7-1 professional record, with his sole defeat coming against Tommy Fury back in February.

Paul will now return to the ring against August on December 15 in Orlando, Florida.

The 35-year-old boasts a 10-1 record with five knockouts to his name. In his last bout, the cruiserweight defeated Brandon Martin on points in a six-rounder.

That was August’s first outing since 2019 when he defeated Santario Martin – also by unanimous decision.

For Paul, this will be his ninth professional outing. The YouTuber has already picked up victories over the likes of Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley and Ben Askern.

Paul recently watched his brother Logan defeat Dillon Danis in Manchester on the same card as Tommy Fury’s controversial victory over KSI.
