Getty ImagesDon't beat yourself up about August if you've never heard of August. He's a 35-year-old cruiserweight from Beaumont, Texas, with a 10-1-1 record as a professional boxer.
Two of his ten wins came over opponents with a winning record, and his previous foes have yet to carry a ton of esteem. Paul has yet to face much top talent in his brief boxing career, but August is a professional boxer by trade, unlike most of the opposition the mega influencer has fought.
In Paul's previous eight fights, the only pure boxer he's fought is Tommy Fury, and that was the former's only loss. While August doesn't come with the same name recognition as Fury or the former mixed martial arts greats that Paul has defeated, he does a little more of a threat because he has more actual boxing experience.
That said, Paul is still a minus-900 favorite to win, so there isn't much expected from August. Crazy things happen in boxing all the time. Maybe August has a stunning upset in his bag. We'll find out tonight.
