Jake Paul Announces Date for Next Boxing Match

Jake Paul will return to action inside the squared circle before the end of the year.

The YouTuber turned professional boxer has taken the world of boxing by storm, essentially powering the surge of a whole new genre called “influencer boxing.” Paul is now set to make his ninth walk to the ring on Dec. 15 on a DAZN pay-per-view card. The venue for the event and Paul’s opponent are yet to be announced. “The Problem Child” is expected to reveal his opponent’s name after Amanda Serrano’s unified title defense against Danila Ramos in Orlando, Florida, on Oct. 27.

Who is next? Jake Paul is back December 15th.

Paul also expressed world champion aspirations in a press release.

“Eight fights in the boxing game and I’m already its biggest name,” Paul said. “I’ve proved that I can headline the biggest global events and defy the odds. PPV after PPV after PPV, and I’m just getting started. My mission is to be a world champion and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there. December 15th is the next step on my journey, and I promise you’re not going to want to miss it.”

Paul is coming off a unanimous decision win over former UFC superstar Nate Diaz in August that saw him bounce back from his lone professional loss against Tommy Fury in February. Prior to that, the 26-year-old defeated former UFC champs Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and multi-promotion MMA champ Ben Askren.
