On November 8, Andre August said in a press release, "I don't talk very much. I’m all about that action! Jake Paul has the money, the fame, the team, and the resources but he doesn’t have my hunger. When that bell rings, I am going to go straight to Jake Paul and ring his bell and send him back to YouTube for good."
August has been involved in professional competitions for almost a decade. He has an extensive background as an amateur as well. Still, some have continued to criticize the tournament and Jake Paul for selecting him as his next opponent.
