On August 29th, the YouTuber turned boxing sensation, Jake Paul will lock horns with the ex-UFC welterweight champ, Tyron Woodley. Many boxing pundits consider this as the biggest test for Paul, who’s a novice in the sport. Also, a huge chunk of fans feels Woodley will use his elite experience to hand Paul his first pro-boxing loss.
However, Henry Cejudo doesn’t share the same notion. In a recent chat with FightHype, Cejudo gave an honest opinion on this fight and reasoned why he picked Paul over Woodley for this bout.
“I think Jake Paul’s gonna beat Tyron Woodley, I really do. Because Boxing is different. If it was a four-ounce glove, Woodley. But when it’s boxing, you got to give it to the dude that’s around the world champions and training with people like that,” he said.
