Although there hasn’t been much buzz about this Jake Paul (7-1, 4 KOs) vs. Andre August (10-1-1, 5 KOs) on Friday night, by the time Thursday’s weigh-in videos circulate social media, it’ll be the only thing that everyone will be discussing. That’s what people call the Jake Paul effect, and this time, he will be going up against a true fighter who doesn’t fight casually like a Tommy Fury.
Leave it up to Paul and Most Valuable Promotions to figure out a way to get everyone’s attention on this event. Paul picked August for a reason, and he likely feels that he can score one of his highlight reel knockouts so that the buzz can pick right back up since it took a hit from his loss to Fury. Paul will rely on his big right hand to prevent this fight from going the distance.

ALTHOUGH JAKE PAUL ISN’T THAT EXPERIENCED, IS ANDRE AUGUST STILL WAY IN OVER HIS HEAD?
August isn’t this big threat to Paul as he is 35, and the one loss he has on his record was from 2018 when he fought Eric Abraham who had a record of three wins and three losses at the time. August needs to make the best out of this opportunity with endorsements, as this will likely be the last big fight of his career. August is slow, and even though Paul doesn’t have that much experience, he has enough to recognize that August leaves his left hand low, which is perfect for Paul’s right hand to connect. If August wants to win, he must punch with Paul and hope that something big lands. Outside of that, this won’t end well for the Texan.
JAKE PAUL VS. ANDRE AUGUST PREDICTION
Paul and his team are smart, and August was picked for a reason. Paul needs a knockout to regenerate his boxing buzz, so look for it around the fifth round. Paul will call out KSI, which will be the biggest event in the U.K. next year.
