“But you can just see it, he’s surrounded himself with positive people, with boxing people, he’s flying great sparring partners in. So you can tell that he really wants it. He hasn’t lost you know and Woodley, I don’t know his mindset for this fight in particular, but he is a fighter,” said Amanda Serrano.

Tyron Woodley is indubitably the Ohio native’s toughest challenge yet. The five-time former UFC welterweight champion is infamous for his vicious striking and his knockout highlight reels inside the octagon. While he has garnered immense experience in the UFC by fighting elite athletes in the welterweight division, this is his first shot at professional boxing.
In this scenario, YouTube star Jake Paul is the more experienced professional boxer. Paul has shown that he has impressive control over his striking. He also showed superior skill by knocking out Ben Askren with a straight jab and Nate Robinson while moving on his back foot.
However, experience is always a dangerous weapon going into a fight; Tyron Woodley’s overall understanding of combat sports could play to his advantage.

As for Paul’s champion training partner, Amanda Serrano has also promised to put on a show for fans on August 29th. Serrano sees her matchup with super-bantamweight WBC champion, Yamileth Mercado, as bigger than a fight with undisputed lightweight champion, Katie Taylor. She believes that a female boxing co-main fight on a card of this magnitude is a stepping stone for her.
Amanda Serrano also teased the possibility of a mega-clash against Irish lightweight champ Katie Taylor. In an interview with DAZN, the featherweight champion said, “I mean every fight is a big fight, and especially that fight with Katie Taylor is gonna be a great fight, but I think this is a breaking point for females.”
