YouTube star turned prize wrestler Jake Paul is poised to present another chapter in his foray into the world of celebrity boxing when he clashes with UFC greats Tyron Woodley.
Woodley, who is no longer under contract with the UFC, is hoping to do better than fellow MMA star Ben Askren, who fell due to Paul in a first-round hiatus earlier this year. It was a commendable victory that brought his professional record to 3-0.
But a fight with Woodley is arguably the biggest challenge in Paul’s thriving combat sports career to date. The former UFC welterweight champion is famous for his strength and skill that have secured him a three-year reign at the top of the UFC welterweight division. If Paul is to somehow emerge victorious, he will have to be at the pinnacle of his game.
