However, both sides appear to admit the facts that can play a major part in the bout. That said, Tyron Woodley’s mother, Deborah Woodley, has praised her son’s upcoming rival.

While Mrs. Woodley has all the faith in her son, she also believes in Jake Paul’s abilities. Hence, she is not underrating the YouTuber’s chances in the ring. Furthermore, Deborah Woodley has also asked Jake Paul’s fans to have trust in him.

The things that he says, but this dude is a fighter and Tyron’s taking him very seriously and they should too. Especially if they are fans, believe in him. Stand on it.”
