Watch Jake Paul train on reflex bag as YouTuber warns ‘someone is getting KO’d’ in August fight
JAKE PAUL has vowed to score another highlight-reel knockout when he returns to the ring later this year.
The YouTuber turned boxer is gearing up for an August return to the squared circle following a break from the sweet science.
And he’s hoping to maintain his sensational record of having knocked out all his opponents.
Along with a video of himself hitting a reflex bag with a combination of straight right hands and uppercuts, Paul wrote: “Someone’s getting knocked out in August.

Paul’s legion of followers were quick to comment, with one saying: “An actual boxer who’s not 40+ years old and significantly smaller.”

And another said: “Tommy Fury. Just don’t wanna see another old retired non-boxer PLEASE.”
One remarked: “If you care about your boxing career, respect and credibility and improving more than the short term money, then you would fight a boxer even if they don’t have a huge name.
