Logan Paul may have retired from boxing to commit to his career as a WWE Superstar, but his brother, Jake Paul, still has the gloves strapped on and intends to keep going with his pugilistic endeavors.
On December 16th in Orlando, Florida, Jake Paul and Andre August will square up in a boxing ring in front of thousands in person and potentially millions over a pay-per-view telecast.
The PPV can be purchased for $49.99 on DAZN.
Andre August is a legitimate boxer who has compiled a 10-1 record. If August were in his early 20s, he would perhaps be regarded as an up-and-coming contender with a championship future.
August is currently 35, but he does represent the first real in-ring threat to Paul. Jake knows this and plans to use this bout to catapult his boxing trajectory toward the top ranks.
If Jake can beat August like the odds produced at legal boxing betting sites suggest, he can then focus on landing a fight against a ranked opponent.
Here is the tale of the tape between Andre August and Jake Paul.
