YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul’s next fight has been confirmed for August 6 at Madison Square Gardens. 

The 25-year-old’s opponent has not yet been announced, but Eddie Hearn has previously suggested Paul could fight Tommy Fury in August.

The pair were initially scheduled to fight Last December but Fury, the younger brother of two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson, pulled out due to an injury.

Paul is currently unbeaten after five professional bouts with four wins by knockout, although he is yet to fight a genuine boxer, with his wins to date coming against a fellow YouTuber, a basketball player and two veteran MMA fighters.

Featherweight world champion Amanda Serrano has also been confirmed on the bill. She holds the world record for the most female boxing world championships across different weight classes, with nine titles in seven weight classes.

She will be looking to bounce back after losing to Katie Taylor in April, but her opponent is also unconfirmed.

The fight was announced by Paul on social media. He tweeted: ‘We going back to back. New York. MSG. Two main events. Showtime PPV. It gets no bigger, it gets no betr.’

While Paul’s opponent has not been confirmed, there have been hints at him fighting Fury. Speaking to talkSPORT, Hearn said: ‘I don’t represent them, but I hear that fight [Paul vs Fury] is happening August 13, so you might see it.’

As Paul is unlikely to fight twice in eight days, it seems possible the August 6 fight could be against Fury.
