Jake Paul is set to take on Tyron Woodley this weekend. This will be the YouTube star’s fourth professional fight inside the squared ring. As for the former five-time UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley, he will be making his debut inside the boxing ring.

However, Woodley has a plethora of experience under his belt as a professional fighter. He has had an incredible run in the sport of MMA. Despite his 4-fight skid at the end of his career, it’s hard to deny the fact that ‘The Chosen One’ ranks among the very best UFC welterweights of all time. Ahead of the much-anticipated clash, we take a look at both Paul and Woodley’s sparring footage in preparation.

Paul has put in the time to learn the craft of boxing and to be fair, he has got some decent skills. However, he is not a very high-level boxer yet. He has trained hard again for Woodley and has even taken tips from former UFC heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic. Whether those skills translate into the contest itself, remains to be seen.

As for Woodley, he is also not the most skillful boxer. And at 39, he looked considerably slower in his earlier training videos. However, one can imagine he has worked on the sport since. Also, he trained with Floyd Mayweather for a while. An athlete of his caliber should be able to use the new traits he learned to his advantage.
