The fight was announced on June 1 after they both uploaded a poster for the fight to their Twitter accounts.

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has stepped in and asked Woodley to train with him. Mayweather had a massive altercation with Jake Paul in the build-up to the exhibition bout between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather.

Tyron Woodley was let go from the UFC after a terrible run of form

'The Chosen One' was the UFC welterweight champion and was on a great run of form. However, he lost his belt after Kamaru Usman dominated him in their March 2019 fight for five rounds.

It was all downhill from there as Woodley then lost to Gilbert Burns via unanimous decision in his next fight. The former champ also got finished by Colby Covington and Vicente Luque in his final two fights, and the UFC had enough.

After Tyron Woodley's loss against Vicente Luque, the UFC refused to renew his contract, which had ended. Tyron Woodley is now trying to become the first man to beat Jake Paul.
