Internet takes a jibe at Jake Paul

Internet users seemed to differ from Jake Paul's view and took to social media to slam the influencer. A user wrote, "You pray for KSI’s downfall all the time."

Another user mentioned, "You did the same and then lost to Tommy."

One user agreed with him and wrote, "Absolutely. Focusing on negativity and wishing ill upon others only distracts from personal growth and success. Channeling energy into positive endeavors and supporting one another leads to a more constructive and fulfilling path."

Jake Paul vs Andre August

Jake Paul is set to face Andre August in an eight-round professional cruiserweight boxing match. The event is scheduled for December 15 at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando.

Jake Paul tweeted, "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."

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.
