Jake Paul is set to take on Tyron Woodley in a boxing match later this month. ‘The Problem Child’ will look to further build on his undefeated professional record, having defeated Woodley’s teammate Ben Askren in his last outing. Besides Woodley, another person that Paul has set his sights on is the UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman.

Usman, currently considered as the pound-for-pound no.1 UFC fighter, has an impeccable resume. So, it’s understandable why Paul has been repeatedly mentioning his name. However, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ believes the YouTuber turned pro-boxer is not a very enticing option for him at the moment.
