Jake Paul is boldly confronting his critics with his next opponent, professional boxer Andre August, whom he’s set to fight next month. August, a 10-1 cruiserweight fighter with five knockouts, presents a significant challenge for the YouTube sensation turned boxer. While it is more common for opponents to engage in some banter and verbal jabs before their bout, Paul is acknowledging August’s superior record and experience.

Jake views the matchup as a crucial step in his pursuit of becoming a genuine world champion. In his confident announcement, Jake emphasized his willingness to take on tough opponents and acknowledged the risks involved. In a recent story that he posted on Instagram, he compared August to the opponents of a few boxing titans. Let us take a look at the analysis.

What sets Jake Paul’s new opponent apart?

In a collage, Paul combined the opponents of Floyd Mayweather, Terence Crawford, Tyson Fury, and Gervonta Davis. Starting with ‘Money’ Mayweather, the 9th opponent of his professional career was Jesus Chavez. The boxer had only three wins to balance his 22 losses. Similarly, Fury’s ninth opponent, Tomas Mrazek, had 10 wins and 76 losses at the time. ‘Tank’s eighth fight had been with Hector Lopez, who had only experienced one fight in which he suffered a defeat. Lastly, Crawford’s eleventh opponent, Ron Boyd, had 11 losses and 6 wins.

What about Paul’s 8th opponent? The boxer has a record of 10 wins and just one loss. All the boxers mentioned above fought opponents who already had their records heavy on the losing side. However, this is not the case for Paul, who is going against a ‘real’ pugilist. The fighter is also a 3 time regional Golden Glove champion. This is the difference that he is pointing out. The ‘Problem Child’ is elated to climb up at such a pace and is hoping to become a world champion soon.

Why Andre August?

The celebrity boxer has faced criticism for choosing opponents he could easily defeat. They were often retired or inactive MMA fighters like Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva. Despite a commendable performance against Nate Diaz, he received little recognition due to Diaz’s lack of professional boxing experience. In a recent press release from ‘Most Valuable Promotions’ (MVP), Paul defended his choices, stating his ambition to become a world champion.
