In a fight between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley, traditional fans or analysts would seemingly favor the latter to win. However, Paul’s confidence shows that he has a superior position in his own mind, and he isn’t bothered about Woodley’s fighting resume. Furthermore, Paul has claimed that he has seen fear in the former UFC champion’s eyes.
As Tyron Woodley has competed against professional fighters all his life, his move to face a YouTuber turned prizefighter had shocked many. That said, Paul claimed that he knows exactly why Tyron Woodley accepted the fight against him.
Speaking in the press conference, Jake Paul said, “I saw fear in his eyes, I saw a man who accepted a fight mostly for a paycheck. I saw a man who doesn’t really have fight left in him, saw a man who has been defeated multiple times now.”

Well, that’s true to a certain extent. Tyron Woodley (39) lost his charm in the UFC after losing his welterweight gold to Kamaru Usman. He suffered three losses back-to-back from that point, before quitting the promotion. Hence, his invincible aura was shattered. Nevertheless, in combat, everyone has a chance at the start.
The American fighter is a veteran and arguably the toughest opponent in Jake Paul’s boxing career so far. As ‘The Problem Child’ has spat enormous verbal venom already, it can cost him a scratchy defeat inside the ring. The intriguing collision will happen on August 29 at Paul’s hometown in Cleveland.
