Amber was captured in the gym alongside August – wearing a daring swimsuit – when she was asked for her prediction.
And she said: “It’s a tough one. Looking here, I think Andre’s got it.”
Paul, 26, suffered defeat for the first time this year, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
He bounced back in August by beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, which is believed to have sold close to 450,000 buys.

But for his return, Paul wanted to responds to criticism of his opposition and chose to face unknown August, 35.
The bout will be held in a 4,400 capacity casino and will also be aired on regular DAZN and not PPV – a first for Paul since his 2020 debut.
He has even claimed the fight could see him break only even as he prioritised the quality of opponent opposed to their name value.
Paul told TMZ Sports: “One hundred per cent I’m foregoing a lot of money.

“This is probably a break even fight for me I probably won’t even make money on it.
“It’s not about the money it’s really about staying sharp and the experience of challenging myself in the ring with these guys – he’s a beast.”
Instagram influencer Amber will be one of the four ring girls on the night in Orlando.
And it will not be her first rodeo, having worked also for Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

JAKE PAUL has been accused of losing his “selling power” with his next fight to be held in a 4,000 capacity casino. The YouTuber-turned boxer has proven to be one of the biggest selling pay-per-view draws throughout his polarising prizefighting career.

And that has also included headlining sold-out arenas around America.
But for his next bout, he will face little-known 10-1-1 boxer Andre August at the Caribe Royale Orlando casino.
It holds only 4,400 and the fight will also be aired on regular DAZN and not PPV – which will be a first for Paul since his 2020 debut.
So fans questioned whether the American has lost his star power as one said: “Only 4.4k people? He’s finished.”

Another added: “Turns out, Jake Paul’s next fight isn’t even a PPV, and is included in the dazn subscription.
“For future events, do you think he has PPV selling power?”
Paul, 26, suffered defeat for the first time this year, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
The grudge match drew over 800,000 PPVs and the social media sensation claimed it banked him $30million.

But for his return, Paul wanted to responds to criticism of his opposition and chose to face unknown August, 35.
He has even claimed the fight could see him break even – and some fans have hailed him for the move.
One said: “The irony in this. “Everyone has been calling for Jake Paul to fight actual boxers…
“Then when he does, people saying he’s lost his selling power because he’s fighting someone that is an actual boxer, as opposed to someone with social media clout? Who else is he meant to fight?”
Another added: “He going the actual boxing route now. This what comes with it.”
One agreed: “He’s fighting a legit boxer with little name value. This is how it should be.”

Internet sensation KSI fumed with the result of the contest, so much so that he launched an appeal to the Professional Boxing Association.
But the PBA have insisted there are NO grounds to overturn the result of the Misifts melee.
A statement read: “The PBA confirms that an independent review panel, consisting of two of the country’s leading King’s Counsel and a third lawyer, has determined that there are no grounds to overturn the @KSI vs. @tommytntfury fight result from October 14, 2023.”
Team KSI are far from happy with the result of their appeal and have vowed to fight tooth and nail to get the verdict overturned.

The social media star’s manager Mams Taylor said: “We will now move to the second of three possible stages of the appeal.
“As we continue to fight to have the decision of the bout rightly overturned.”
Neither KSI – real name Olijade Olatunji – nor Fury – the brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson have publicly reacted to the news of the result being upheld.
Scores of influencer boxing fans, however, reacted on X (formerly Twitter).

One wrote: “And rightly so. Tommy won comfortably.”
Another said: “Let it go, man, it’s over.”
And another said: “They’re actually doing everything in their power to win this appeal, like bro what are they appealing?”
One remarked: “Honestly embarrassing from KSI to continue with this.
“You can’t bounce around the whole fight and think you deserve a W.
“Let it go and fight Jake [Paul].
Another chimed in: “He lost get over it You own the Promotion company that runs the fight.
“The previous fight he hit the guy with his elbow which should have been a disqualification but was deemed a KO win. He is an idiot.”
KSI, 30, was consumed with rage after slipping to his first defeat in the influencer boxing scene and claimed he was “ROBBED” of a victory.”
He said: “Obviously [Tommy Fury’s] a pro boxer.

“If I won, it’s a mockery for the sport. That’s how they see it.
“I won it bro. I got robbed. It’s outrageous bro… I was landing the cleanest shots, he couldn’t get any jabs off.”

He posted on X, formerly Twitter: “Bro it’s that time I’ve been waiting to kick your ass for a long time when is the sparring match stop ignoring me and stop being scared drop a date now bitch.”
KSI, 30, responded: “December 15th, come through and let’s do this.”
Fans could not help but notice that the date comes on the same day KSI’s arch rival Paul makes his boxing return against Andre August.

Speed, 18, replied to KSI: “I’ll be in London December 15 don’t bail out.”

That rubbed salt in the wounds as Paul’s fight in Florida is expected to also be in the early hours of the morning – leaving fans in hysterics.
One said: “top tier s***housery.”
