Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley is heading into a boxing brawl against YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul. The veteran will be making his debut later this year in a much-anticipated switch from MMA.

The American will be fighting the guy who defeated his longtime friend and mixed martial artist Ben Askren in April this year.

Recently, Woodley appeared for an interview where interacted with Michael Bisping. He talked about his transition from MMA to boxing. Bisping, meanwhile, had a request of his own for Woodley.

“Here what I want you to do. F*ck Darren Till (laughs loudly),” Bisping said. “He is a good friend of mine, so I can say that. Jake Paul, Jake Paul, what you gonna do to Jake Paul. Will Jake Paul fall and not get back up?”

“Let’s go viral, let’s talk some sh*t. F*ck Jake Paul, f*ck Logan Paul. I need you to say, Tyron, for the love of God. There’s the MMA community’s respect is at stake here. Please tell me that you gonna f*ck this guy up,” he concluded.

Woodley in his response showed amusement at being called an ambassador for MMA. Although he promised to knock Jake out and even claimed this to be the biggest pay-per-view of the year.
