Waiting For Floyd Mayweather's Luck When Tyron Woodley Fights With Jake Paul Next Week

JAKARTA - Since knocking out former UFC star Ben Askren in the first round last April, Jake Paul has put pressure on various current UFC stars, including Tyron Woodley, who he will face next week.

Ahead of the fight against the former UFC welterweight champion, Jake is backed to be the bookies' favorite.

Four inches taller and with a two-inch lead, on paper Jake is bigger than Woodley

In addition, many of the biggest names in the world of combat sports have expressed their support for the YouTube star in this fight. These include 'Big' John McCarthy, commentator Teddy Atlas and even Mike Tyson. Jake was getting more and more confident.

However, although Woodley's experience in the boxing ring is limited to just this training camp, the would-be UFC hall-of-famer has proven his explosive prowess time and time again against many names in the UFC.

And especially in his preparation against Jake, Woodley was specially trained by boxing legend Floyd Mayweather - who fought Jake's older brother, Logan recently. That is, Woodley is not at all blind to boxing techniques.

The fight will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 29.
