Jake Paul returns to a boxing ring this weekend on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s fight with Nina Meinke in Puerto Rico.
‘The Problem Child’ is looking to move to 9-1 in his professional career when he meets Ryan Bourland, a professional fighter in the cruiserweight division boasting a 17-2 record.
However, Bourland, 35, has not boxed since beating Santario Martin by way of knockout way back in September 2022.
Still, it is another opportunity for Paul to build up a head of steam. He ended the year of 2023 in emphatic fashion, making light work of Andre August in December with a first-round knockout after beating rival Nate Diaz in the summer.

Jake Paul vs Ryan Bourland fight prediction
Paul insists he is serious about his boxing career, albeit the ease with which he disposed of August only a few months ago hardly speaks to the quality of his opponents.
Still, Bourland is at least a genuine fighter and could be a step up in terms of durability.
It would, however, be a major shock to see Paul defeated.
