The pair of Americans fight in a cruiserweight contest at the Caribe Royal Resort in Orlando, Florida. The headline event will not be on PPV as Jake Paul insists he wants to get serious with his craft in a bid to become world champion one day. This will be the first time a Jake Paul headliner won't be broadcast on PPV. Paul is a massive favorite in early odds against the 35-year-old August.

Jake Paul
Jake Paul followed a split decision loss to Tommy Fury with a unanimous decision over former UFC fighter Nate Diaz last August to bring his 2023 record to 1-1. The loss against Fury was Paul's first loss in the boxing ring. Jake Paul says he will focus on his boxing development as he works towards becoming a boxing champion. And the first step is to fight more away from the attention of a PPV event. At still under ten fights in total, Jake Paul has shown that he carries raw power, a strong right hand, a powerful ability, and is in top physical condition.
Tale of the Tape
- Age: 26
- Height: 6' 1"
- Reach: 76"
- Record: 7-1
August has more KO's than me, more wins than me, more experience than me, but I like to gamble. The path to world champ starts here. Just straight-up boxing.
Andre August
The Texas-born journeyman returned to the ring last August following a four-year absence. Andre August made his boxing debut ten years ago and has conducted most of his career in relative obscurity. The 35-year-old is an experienced fighter who started fighting in the streets. Andre August also runs a boxing promotion. He has five knockouts from ten victories.
Tale of the Tape

So far, my entire boxing career has been on pay-per-view, but now it's about more than business. Now, I want to build my experience in the ring against seasoned fighters.
