Jake Paul is back in the ring on Friday night (10:30 pm ET - DAZN) to take on the first 'real boxer' of his career: Andre August. While the fight hasn't gotten the buzz of most of his bouts from the past, the exhibition against the 10-1-1 (5 KOs) August is seen as pivotal for Paul in his quest to cross over into professional boxing and gain more respect in the sport.

The eight-round cruiserweight fight (200 lbs) organized by Most Valuable Promotions (MPV) will take place in Orlando, FL, at the Caribe Royale Resort. Regardless of the outcome, it has already made history as the highest recorded live gate for a boxing event in the city of Orlando, Florida.

Update narration

Interestingly so, the Paul vs. August fight is also a full-circle moment for Jake Paul, as he made his 2020 debut in Florida. His first ever fight, just before the COVID pandemic began, took place as an undercard bout in the pre-Super Bowl DAZN show in Miami Gardens, FL. The contrast between then and now, however, is huge. In his first ever fight, Paul's promotion only sold under 1,500 tickets.

Around 5,000 spectators are expected for tonight's fight, in a fight where Jake Paul says he'll "break even", in the absence of a large purse. Jake's total net worth is estimated to be $60 million, while Andre August's is far more modest, at an estimated $100,000. Paul is also deemed a favorite for tonight's fight, given the fact he is putting a lot on the line for a very modest purse.
