JAKE PAUL has announced his boxing return just days after knocking out Andre August.
The YouTuber-turned boxer stopped August in the opening round of their December 15 bout.

And now Paul has taken to social media to announce he will be back in the ring in just 11 weeks time in Puerto Rico.
But, he will not be the night’s headliner and instead women’s boxing legend Amanda Serrano will main-event her homecoming fight.
Paul posted: “Guess who’s back … Jake already? Yes, I’m on a mission… But this one is much bigger than me.
“This one is for the greatest Puerto Rican boxer ever, Amanda Serrano. This one is for the people of Puerto Rico, from the Choliseo to the world.
“This one is for all of boxing to see how powerful women are in this sport and for Wanna Walton to usher in his superstar boxing future in front of 20,000 people.
“I can’t wait to fight in San Juan and show the world this beautiful island. Yours truly, El Gallo de Dorado.”
Serrano, 35, looks set to defend her unified WBA, IBF and WBO belts in the 20,000-seat arena in her first bout back in Puerto Rico since 2017.
Paul, 26, meanwhile is coming off his first victory over a recognised boxer in August, 35, who was 10-1-1 before the KO defeat.
The American was beaten by Tommy Fury, 24, via split-decision in February but bounced back by beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, in August.
But Paul has since confirmed his focus will be on rising the traditional ranks as he intends to face seasoned boxers going forward.
