Jake Paul earned a hard-fought KO win against 5-time UFC champion Tyron Woodley this past Sunday and shocked the world with his surreal progress. The 24-year-old suffered a massive cut on his head after being fed with a nasty elbow in the fight. However, ‘The Problem Child’ found his way through the adversity and landed a highlight reel KO in round 6.
He has been super active in 2021 with three wins under the belt. Interestingly, two wins against Woodley and another one against Askren have come against former MMA champions. This calls for an upgrade in his resume and Paul can finally expect to fight a pro-boxer next year. A potential fight against Tommy Fury is already available onboard. However, Jake Paul is in no rush.
