He said, ”I’m 24 years old. I can take over the world. I can become the next Muhammad Ali at the rate this is going. What does [Tyron Woodley] have? He has nothing. I have a much bigger story here, a much greater presence and I’m doing something no one has ever done before.”

Last year, Jake Paul joined the revolution of celebrity fights. However, unlike other stars, he decided to move ahead on the pro-ride.

As a result, ‘The Problem Child’ kept an active stint throughout and he also escalated his career by fighting biggies of MMA in Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Until now, Jake Paul has succeeded in retaining his undefeated record. However, he will be in for a test against a fired-up Tyron Woodley on Saturday night.

That said, Paul has a point to prove on Saturday night. If he claims a fiery win over the ex-UFC elite, needless to say, he will establish himself as a skilled pro-boxer. Hence, all eyes will be on Tampa to see how this event plays out.
