5 most intriguing storylines to watch ahead of Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley

#4. This could be the end of the Jake Paul experiment

What would Jake Paul have in common with NBA star Jeremy Lin, retired boxer James 'Buster' Douglas, and singers Gotye and Kimbra if Sunday night didn't go his way? He'd be a one-hit wonder just like the rest of them.

Paul received no respect from fans for his first two career wins, and rightfully so. He deserves no credit for dismantling fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib. He doesn't deserve brownie points for starching retired NBA player Nate Robinson – who was half his size – either.

As far as combat sports observers are concerned, the only victory Paul has that's worth talking about is his knockout of former Bellator and ONE Championship welterweight titleholder Ben Askren. Even then, many are hesitant to give Paul credit for that victory as Askren is not exactly known for being a respectable striker.

As it stands, there are already so many arguments to be made if the goal is to undermine Jake Paul's achievements. Losing to an undersized 39-year-old Woodley could be the final nail in Paul's coffin.

#3. Tommy Fury might be next for Jake Paul

The younger half-brother of undefeated boxing champion Tyson Fury will compete on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley. Tommy Fury has previously been one of the names floated as a potential opponent for 'The Problem Child'.

The only issue is Fury's unheralded status as a boxer and poor name recognition made him an unsuitable opponent for Paul, given what we know of the YouTube star's business model.

Like Paul, Fury is an undefeated up-and-coming boxer who's more famous for activities he has done outside the ring. The 22-year-old's claim to fame – besides being related to 'The Gypsy King' – was his appearance on the fifth season of UK reality television show Love Island.

Similar to Paul, he is also a promising fighter, but is far from a finished product. The Brit will take on MMA fighter Anthony Taylor, who competed under the Bellator banner as a lightweight.

Fury's inclusion on the fight card gives him the opportunity to introduce himself to Paul's fanbase. Should both Paul and Fury emerge victorious this weekend, it would be safe to assume they could meet one another in the near future.
