Jake Paul doesn’t seem intimidated by the fact that Tyron Woodley is an A-listed opponent who has knocked out several professional fighters in his combat career. Instead, the YouTuber turned prizefighter has vowed to vanquish the former UFC champion, that too via stoppage in the early rounds. Well, it’s not new to the fans as Paul has been making such claims for a long time.

However, he has also acknowledged Woodley’s abilities in a recent media interaction. Despite boasting all his prowess, ‘The Problem Child’ didn’t rule out the dangers which ‘T-Wood’ might bring. However, it didn’t affect his confidence.

Speaking with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, Jake Paul said, “I actually wanna challenge myself and I think Tyron [Woodley] is a real challenge. I have to take this more serious than any other fight and he is a real threat.”

“Tyron Woodley is a real threat with knockout power. He has knocked out some of the best fighters in the world, 5-time champion, explosive, you know has like 8 Pack. He is a real guy. But that’s why I wanna do. That’s why I fall somewhere in the middle actually challenging myself. But me knowing deep down, like with all that said, I just have to be super alert and cautious in the ring and think I can take him out in two rounds.”
