Is Andre August’s identity limited to just being Jake Paul’s next opponent? Having been inactive in the ring since 2019, Andre August has rekindled his saga in the boxing realm this year. Come December 15th, he will fight the most crucial bout of his career against the leader of the influencer-boxing realm, Jake Paul. A fight of this magnitude requires him to be in his A-game. However, his recent training sessions suggest otherwise.

It was 2013 when Texas native August entered the ring for his debut pro fight. The South Padre Island fight against Steven Medrano saw him win via a knockout. Since then, began his journey in the cutthroat landscape of boxing. Over the next few years, August would power through his opponents one after the other, registering only one loss among 12 fights. But then came 2019, when his career came to a standstill. 4 years later, he resumes from where he left off. But is he prepared to do so? Fans disagree.
