Social media influencer and celebrity boxer Jake Paul has finally revealed his next opponent for the highly anticipated DAZN-streamed boxing event on December 15, 2023. Jake Paul, also known as "The Problem Child," took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to announce that he will be facing off against Andre August, a 35-year-old cruiserweight veteran with a record of 10-1-1, including 5 knockouts.

Andre August's most recent victory was a unanimous decision against Brandon Martin earlier this year, marking his fifth consecutive win. However, it is worth noting that August has only competed once in the past four years, having suffered a defeat to Eric Abraham in late 2018.

In response to the announcement, August expressed his confidence in defeating Jake Paul. "I'm all about that action! Jake Paul has the money, the fame, the team, and the resources, but he doesn't have my hunger," said August. "When that bell rings, I am going to go straight to Jake Paul and ring his bell, sending him back to YouTube for good."

On the other hand, Jake Paul is determined to prove himself as a professional boxer and aims to become a world champion. Commenting on his choice of opponent, Paul stated, "I need to pursue the path towards greatness against people who have been boxing their whole life. Now I want to build my experience in the ring against seasoned fighters."

However, the news of Jake Paul's opponent did not impress many fans, with some accusing him of "picking people from the street" and choosing "just another can to beat." It remains to be seen how Jake Paul's matchup with Andre August will be received by viewers.

With the fight scheduled for December 15, fans can expect promoters to unveil the undercard for the event in the coming days. The event will be streamed live on DAZN, providing a platform for Jake Paul to showcase his skills and continue his boxing career against a seasoned opponent.
