JAKE PAUL released details on his next fight – revealing it will be against an ex-junior Olympian with more knockouts than his last opponent.
In December, the YouTuber-turned boxer knocked out Andre August, who came into the bout with a 10-1-1 record and five KOs.
Paul returns on March 2 on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rico homecoming.
And his Most Valuable Promotions banner teased details on the calibre of opponent he is set to fight.
They posted: “Almost time. This Tuesday. Jake Paul announces his next opponent.
“More wins than any previous opponent. More KOs than any previous opponent. Golden Gloves Champion. National Junior Olympics.”

Paul, 27, suffered defeat for the first time last February, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24.
But he bounced back with a point victory over ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, and first-round KO of August, 35.
The American held a press conference to announce his return but his opponent was not present.
But Paul revealed: “He’s a professional boxer with an even better record that Andre August and there will be an announcement coming soon.
