So far, Jake Paul has fought a YouTuber, an NBA athlete, and a retired wrestling specialist. He has built himself a neat highlight reel by closing all three professional fights through knockouts. However, most fans of the sport still doubt his legitimacy as he has still not faced an active fighter. That argument is now all set to come to a close on August 29, as the Ohio native faces his toughest challenger yet, Tyron Woodley.

I would just say, Tyron, don’t let your kids watch this, man. You’re going to be unconscious on the canvas, bleeding out. I said the same thing to Nate Robinson and I’ll say the same thing to you,” said Jake Paul.

Can Jake Paul really afford a loss against Tyron Woodley?

Jake Paul has big plans, some bigger than others. Recently, he shared a ‘hit list’ on social media that enlisted all of his target opponents. For a pro-boxer with just 3 wins on his record, he truly has Brobdingnagian goals. He wants to fight the likes of Canelo Alvarez, Conor McGregor, Gervonta Davis, and even his own brother down the line.

However, the Paul brothers are probably the best at defying odds. Logan Paul secured an 8-round fight with Floyd Mayweather; therefore, counting out the possibility of these matchups is not an option. Jake Paul’s best shot at booking a fight with someone like Canelo Alvarez would be to remain undefeated until the point of actual negotiations. However, a loss would prove to be a major roadblock on Paul’s journey to the throne.

Considering his previous fights, his upcoming bout against Tyron Woodley is inarguably his toughest fight. Despite four consecutive losses since 2019, the former five-time UFC welterweight champion is notorious for his knockouts inside the octagon. Losing to Tyron Woodley would definitely be detrimental to Jake Paul’s progress in the sport. Above everything else, he would have to get ‘I Love Tyron Woodley’ tattooed on his body.
