Jake Paul is all set to face Tyron Woodley in a boxing match on August 29, 2021. This will be Paul’s 4th professional boxing endeavor having already competed in 3 fights winning all. Many people, though, thought of Paul as just a YouTuber fighting for entertainment. However, his last victory against MMA legend Ben Askren proved them wrong.
Following that fight, Paul challenged many UFC fighters including the likes of Conor McGregor. Now though the fighter is set to face former UFC champion Woodley. Many believe that as Woodley has lost his previous four fights and is not in the best of form, it will be another victory for Paul.

However, ‘The Problem Child’ does not believe that as he says Woodley is still a great fighter. Talking to Maxim.com, the fighter shared his views on his opponent. He said, “He’s very, very dangerous. The power always stays. We’ve seen it with Mike Tyson at [almost] 60 years old.”
“He’s hitting heavy bags and knocking them off the chains. Tyron Woodley is still explosive and people forget in his last fight. He had Vicente Luque stumbling and wobbling across the cage [before he lost].”
“People can say whatever they want, but Tyron’s been boxing and striking five times as long as I have. This is a big challenge for me and I know that going into it. We’re not taking this fight lightly at all.”
Paul clearly believes ‘The Chosen One’ is not an easy opponent for him to face, and is training really hard for the win.
What will happen in the fight between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley?
Woodley faced Ben Askren in his last fight and defeated the former UFC title contender. However ‘Funky’ was never known for his striking capabilities and therefore many people believed he would not do well in a boxing match. That is exactly what happened as Askren lost via TKO in the first round.
Woodley, however, is known for his striking capabilities and boxing ability, winning 7 of his fight via KO. Therefore, Woodley is expected to provide a challenge to Paul unlike any he has ever faced.
