This came as somewhat of a surprise given that August, 35, has fought just once since 2019, and that he has yet to face any big names.

And it seems KSI, another YouTuber turned boxer, was underwhelmed with the news.

The 30-year-old retweeted Paul’s announcement along with a photo of someone trying to pour gas into a bicycle along with the caption “He tryna gas it up.”

Fans clearly felt the same, as they flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to make their feelings clear.

One such fan said: “Another rigged fight yay.”

Another said: “Andre August is 35 years old with a 10-1-1 record. He’s fought 1 time in the last 4 years. Another pretend, old boxer.”

While a third predicted: “Your L is coming.”

But tired of the doubters, Paul had fired back with a bold statement, via Ariel Helwani.

Paul said: “I’m a professional boxer and I want to be world champion, so I need to pursue the path towards greatness against people who have been boxing their whole life.

“So far, my entire boxing career has been on pay-per-view, but now it’s about more than business.

“Now I want to build my experience in the ring against seasoned fighters.”

And Paul’s business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, added that The Problem Child was “once again doing what very few of the best and biggest boxers in the world have done in their 9th professional fight – fighting someone with a better record and more experience.

“Pound-for-pound, the great Terrence Crawford fought a 9-14 opponent in his 9th fight, Canelo Alvarez fought a 0-1 opponent, and Gervonta Davis fought an opponent that had 31 losses!

“But Terence, Canelo and Gervonta didn’t have the world watching. Jake Paul does, and he’s once again putting it all on the line taking on a 10-1 opponent.”

Paul, who currently has an 8-1 record, will be looking to win his second straight fight this year since losing to professional boxer Tommy Fury in February via split decision.

In August, the 26-year-old bounced back from his first loss to beat MMA star Nate Diaz in August via unanimous decision.

The bout with August will take place at the Caribe Royale Orlando.
