Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley are set to face each other in a professional boxing match this summer. The fight will be the YouTube megastar's fourth pro boxing bout and the former UFC welterweight champion’s pro boxing debut.
With the confirmation of the fight, both fighters have been able to start their pressers to build hype for the event.
A number of fighters involved in MMA and boxing want Jake Paul out of the sport as soon as possible, and Tyron Woodley is hoping to be the first to defeat him in the ring.
"The Chosen One" recently said about Jake Paul:
"Easiest fight of my career & biggest purse of my career all in one night. Basically, they brought me in to take out the trash. Can't wait to shut this b*tch up. This is getting done for the culture, the whole MMA/boxing community, to rid this guy of combat sports."
Jake Paul also had his own words for Woodley, telling ESPN in an interview:
"As I enter my fourth pro fight, I am excited to knock the first one off the list by challenging myself against a five-time UFC champion known for his knockout power. Tyron's a seasoned striker who has fought the best in the world. I certainly respect his career, but I will be sending Tyron into a permanent siesta on August 28."
