????♂️ Jake Paul’s latest matches and form
Jake Paul scored a unanimous decision victory over UFC star Nate Diaz in August this year, but many wrote this off as an exhibition encounter. Fury’s last fight against a professional came in February, when he lost via split decision to Tommy Fury in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
Fans will see Friday’s fight as a chance for Paul to regain some credibility, though a loss to Andre August would likely condemn him to fight YouTubers and ex-UFC stars for the rest of his career.
????♂️ Andre August’s latest matches and form
Andre August is the more seasoned of the two fighters heading into this showdown in Florida. August has had 12 professional fights, winning 10, drawing one, and losing one.
However, the calibre of his fight has not been the most impressive, with the 35-year-old’s opponents holding a combined record of 34 wins, 65 losses, and six draws. August’s last fight was a unanimous decision win over Brandon Martin in August this year.
This marked his first fight in nearly four years, with ring rust potentially playing a big part in Florida on Friday.
Jake Paul vs Andre August betting tips and odds
With Jake Paul being such a clear favourite for Friday’s fight, you will need to look at some alternative markets for value. The following are our three best-bet picks for the fight:
Jake Paul by Decision or Technical Decision at 6/4 (William Hill)
Jake Paul will want to make a statement on Saturday night, and knocking out a professional boxer would be the way to do that.

Fight to go the distance at 4/6 (bet365)
As we’ve mentioned, while Jake Paul may want to secure the KO win on Friday night, August will prove to be an interesting test of his boxing acumen.
The fight going the distance, with Paul showing that he possesses some boxing talent and can outbox a pro, would also be a good bit of PR for the Problem Child. The fight to go the distance is available at 4/6 with bet365.

Andre August by KO/TKO at 7/1 (Unibet)
Andre August comes into Friday’s fight as the underdog, and it is clear Paul’s team have handpicked an opponent they believe he can beat comfortably.
However, August is much more experienced than Paul, and he will also want to use Friday’s fight to put a spotlight on his own career. This is a huge opportunity for him, and knocking Jake Paul out would certainly put his name in lights over the next few weeks.
This is an outside shout, but an Andre August KO/TKO victory is available at 7/1 with Unibet.
