Jake Paul vs Andre August date: UK start time, undercard and how to follow – Problem Child returns against unknown boxer
Jake Paul will return to the ring next month to face little-known professional Andre August in his third and final fight of the year.
'The Problem Child' took some time away from the sport following his defeat to Tommy Fury but returned earlier this year and beat Nate Diaz by unanimous decision.
That victory took Paul’s professional record to 7-1 and he has now set aside bouts against MMA stars to try and battle another pro boxer.
A rematch with Diaz or Fury had been hinted at but the YouTuber-turned-boxer has since announced a showdown with fellow American August, who is 10-1-1 (5 KOs).
Paul vs August: Date and start time
This cruiserweight contest will take place on Friday, December 15.
The event will be held at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Flordia with confirmed start times to be announced in due course.

Paul vs August: What has been 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,” Paul said.
“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.
"I’m coming to prove my greatness on Friday, Dec. 15 live on DAZN for the world to see.”
"I don't talk very much. I'm all about that action," August said.
"Jake Paul has the money, the fame, the team and the resources, but he doesn't have my hunger.
"When that bell rings, I am going to go straight to Jake Paul and ring his bell and send him back to YouTube for good."
