A rare Friday night card is on tap from Orlando, Florida as Jake Paul continues his journey in the boxing world. Tonight, Paul is set to step back into the ring for his third fight of 2023, as he faces off against the relatively unknown Andre August. The fight, scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET, will be broadcasted on DAZN.
Paul’s record this year stands at 1-1, with a split decision loss to Tommy Fury and a unanimous decision win over Nate Diaz. While Paul has primarily faced former MMA stars in his previous bouts, this will be his second encounter with a true boxer. It’s worth noting that August boasts a 10-1-1 record, but his lack of recent fights raises questions about his current form. His last fight took place in August of this year, ending in a decision victory.
In an intriguing showdown on the undercard, the women’s super middleweight division will witness a clash between Shadasia Green and Franchon Crews Dezurn for the vacant WBC title. The winner of this battle could potentially set up a unification bout against Savannah Marshall in 2024.
