Tyron Woodley said, “He was just nervous, he was scared, he was shaking. He was doing what he thought he needed to do based up on watching us. Like, lets; be real. You know when I say ‘us’, I mean professional athletes. I mean people that really do this s*** for living.”

On papers, Woodley is a far better fighter than Jake Paul and has several accolades that tout him as one of the greatest combatants of all time. However, his nearing fight against Paul will be held under the boxing guidelines, and Woodley has zero pro-boxing experience. So, ‘The Chosen One’ might suffer a hard time inside the ring.
