Jake Paul praises Saudi advisor Turki Alalshikh for massive upcoming boxing event in December
CLEVELAND, OHIO: Jake Paul, also known as the Problem Child, recently showered Turki Alalshikh and Saudi Arabia with admiration for organizing a huge boxing tournament scheduled for December.
Jake posted his opinions about the impending boxing event, which will include heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder in different fights, on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
The 'Day of Reckoning' event is slated to happen on Saturday, December 23, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Jake Paul believes Turki Alalshikh is 'breaking down promoter walls'
The 'Battle of the Baddest', featuring Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou, was widely praised as an incredible spectacle, showcasing Turki Alalshikh's expertise in organizing large-scale boxing events.
Jake Paul commented that Alalshikh continues to break new ground in combat sports, and the achievements of both he and the nation are remarkable.

"If you don’t love this then you don’t love boxing! @Turki_alalshikh and KSA are giving fighters massive opportunities and breaking down promoter walls," Paul said.
Success of 'Day of Reckoning' might lead to additional opportunities for cross-promotion in boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA), as promoters and athletes could utilize it as a model for future events, with Saudi Arabia being the perfect place to hold them.
Jake Paul vs Andre August
Recently, Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, made headlines by revealing his next opponent in the boxing ring. He will face Andre August, a professional boxer with an impressive record of 10-1, including five victories by knockout.
Ask and I shall deliver. August has more KO’s than me, more wins than me, more experience than me, but I like to gamble. The path to world champ starts here. Just straight up boxing. pic.twitter.com/5AoXxPmAPj

The revelation of Jake Paul's next opponent was unexpected, countering speculations that he would transition to mixed martial arts to face Nate Diaz. Instead, he's set to fight Andre August, a professional boxer with less public recognition. This matchup poses a risk for Paul; a decisive win by August could boost his profile significantly, potentially overshadowing Jake.
