    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.

    Fans fear Jake Paul has ‘lost his selling power’ after seeing tiny venue for Andre August fight

    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.
    Jake Paul’s next fight is at the 4,400 capacity Caribe Royale Orlando casino

    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.

    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.”

    Jake Paul sensationally backed to BEAT Nate Diaz in MMA fight by ex-UFC star amid £10m rematch offer

    JAKE PAUL has been backed to sensationally BEAT Nate Diaz in MMA by ex-UFC star Matt Brown. The YouTuber-turned boxer this year signed for the Professional Fighters League, a competing promotion to the UFC.

    Paul, 26, is coming off the back of a ten-round points win over ex-UFC star Diaz, 38, in August.
    And both the American and the PFL have proposed a rematch in the cage and offered up to £10million.
    But Diaz has seemed uninterested and Brown insisted he has reason to.
    He told MMAFighting: “Jake Paul, I’m going to pick him to win. I’m going to pick him to beat Nate Diaz in MMA.

    “We already know he can outbox him. When was the last time you saw Nate Diaz take someone down?
    “But I don’t think he’ll be able to take him down, even if he tries to [take him down].
    “He’s way, way undersized. Jake Paul is so much bigger than him. I don’t know what weight it will be at, probably 185.
    “Nate’s not a great wrestler, it’s going to end up staying on the feet. What difference would it be [from their boxing match] if it stays on the feet?”

    Ex-high school wrestler Paul has called to fight Diaz in his MMA debut and Brown believes the styles clash favours the American well.
    He said: “First, Nate rarely throws elbows. Really doesn’t throw kicks a whole lot. He’s primarily an MMA boxer.
    “His MMA style is he pressures you, he outboxes you and pressures you until you take him down or grab hold of him, which, that’s what he wants. Now he can do his jiu-jitsu game. It’s just a bad matchup.
    “I wouldn’t pick very many people to be able to do that, but I don’t think Nate will be able to take [Paul] down and we already know what’s going to happen on the feet.
    “Jake will train for kicks and elbows and knees and all that stuff and they might have a little effect.
    “But I don’t see Nate finishing him with a kick or even really chopping him down or elbowing him. It’s just not his style.”

    KSI topped the bill against Tommy Fury, while Logan Paul faced Dillon Danis in a co-main event grudge match.
    It was claimed that a whopping 1.4 million people parted with their hard-earned cash to watch the social media stars do battle, a number veteran promoter White doesn’t buy for a second.
    The UFC Chief Executive told the Nelk Boys: “I haven’t heard about anybody selling a lot of pay-per-views lately.
    “Let me tell you how hard it is to sell 1.3 million pay-per-view buys.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    “And if you did sell 1.3 million – if you sold 700,000 pay-per-view buys – they’d put putting on fights f***ing 10 times a year.
    “When you hear those kinds of numbers fly around the pay-per-view world, they’re lying motherf*****s. Don’t ever believe that s**t.”
    Despite the glaringly obvious lack of skill and technique, the influencer boxing scene has caught on like wildfire among Gen Zers.
    And White, like many others, can’t understand for the life of him why.

    He said: “Anybody who’s been on any of these f***ing horrible boxing shows.
    “And I like Logan [Paul] and some of these guys that are involved in this s**t, if you come out and you say you did 1.3 million pay-per-view buys on your event, you’re lying through your f***ing teeth.
    “Lying through your teeth.”
    The MMA mogul added: “The amount of money you’d f***ing make, they’d be doing pay-per-views all the f***ing time.
    “Let me tell you what, every pay-per-view distributor out there would want them, and Showtime wouldn’t have went out of business.”
    It didn’t take long for White’s comments to come to the attention of KSI’s manager and Misfits co-president Mams Taylor.
    And he didn’t hold back in his response to the UFC supremo, writing on X: “I know all the REAL numbers for every event.
    “Don’t play w[ith] me or I’ll go Fofty on EVERYONE!!”

    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.”

    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.”

    TOMMY FURY is in talks with a boxing legend for his next fight, his dad John said. The ex-Love Islander beat YouTube stars Jake Paul, 26, and KSI, 30, in 2023 to become king of the crossover scene.

    And two weeks after his controversial win over KSI, the 23-year-old took a trip to Saudi Arabia in support of his brother Tyson.
    Days before Tyson also contentiously beat ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, Tommy struck a deal to face American great Roy Jones Jr.
    And now his dad John revealed talks with the 54-year-old icon are underway.
    He told The Express, via Free Bets UK: “We’re speaking to Roy Jones Jr; we can do something with him.

    “I’m giving it some thought at the time of speaking. Roy Jones Jr is a great guy. He’s a lovely fella, a standup man and a hall-of-fame great.”
    John added: “Maybe it is an exhibition or something, whatever he wants to do.
    “We’ve not really spoken in great detail, but he did say over in Saudi ‘Let’s do something’ and we’re all ears.
    “We just need to sit down and see what is best for Tommy and Roy Jones Jr.”

    Jones is considered one of the best of all time, reigning over FOUR divisions including heavyweight.
    But he boxed well into his 50s and in 2020 welcomed back Mike Tyson for an exhibition.
    Jones again made a return this April against MMA veteran Anthony Pettis, losing on points.
    And he has also confirmed the negotiations to face Tommy, telling Betway: “There is truth to that, we spoke in Saudi Arabia because of the fact that John Fury was with Tyson ahead of his fight.
    “Me and the Fury family, we have a lot of history. I was one of the people who told Tyson five or six years back that he could come back and beat all of them and that’s what he has done.
    “To be in the ring with somebody from the social media era and have a big fight with Tommy Fury, I may not be who I was but to be in with against someone from the YouTube era, it’s a different type of thing and can captivate the audience. I think it’s a good thing.”
