The only defeat of the cruiserweight's career came against fellow American boxer Eric Abraham in 2018.

His most recent victory came against the undefeated 7-0 boxer Brandon Martin, which he won via unanimous decision.

August's five knockouts in boxing is more than any other opponent Paul has faced during his career to date.

And unlike Paul's other opponents, August's primary combat sports discipline throughout his career has been boxing - meaning 'The Problem Child' is fulfilling his aim to fight professional boxers.

The Houston-based fighter has won his last five fights, and said in a statement following confirmation of the Paul bout: "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."
