Jake Paul faces off with Ryan Bourland for the first time ahead of Puerto Rico boxing match this weekend

Outspoken professional boxer, Jake Paul came face-to-face with incoming foe, Ryan Bourland for the first time this weekend, as he draws the 17-2 fighter this weekend in his return to the squared circle in San Juan, Puerto Rico – as the pair meet at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico on Saturday.

Paul, 27, is slated to make his tenth professional walk to the ring this weekend, as he features in his residency in Puerto Rico, following a recent knockout win over Andre August in the first round of their December boxing match in Orlando, Florida.

Linked with a potential move to professional mixed martial arts later this year, Paul penned a multi-fight deal with the PFL (Professional Fighters Leauge) late last year – and has been the subject of multiple callouts in the last year from a slew of contenders and mixed martial arts stars.
