YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul has lined up his next opponent. While his brother Logan is all set to take on legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather, who is undefeated but also 44 years old, it is now being reported that Jake Paul’s next combatant is getting lined up.
That would be UFC fighter and commentator Tyron Woodley.
Sources: Jake Paul and former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley have agreed to a deal for a boxing match. Jake recently signed a multi-fight deal with Showtime. Friday face-off in Miami planned to promote the event. Paul coming off first-round KO of Ben Askren

Woodley, like Mayweather, is way past his prime.
He is 39 years old, and he’s lost his last four times in the Octagon. He was UFC welterweight champ before the losing streak hit.
Woodley, now 39, hasn’t won a fight in three years https://t.co/Vl1Fm0VbW7

While many fans may see a legend like Woodley and think they’ll finally see Jake Paul take a beating, it may not be that simple. In fact, oddsmakers are confirming that.
Jake Paul (-155)
Tyron Woodley (+125)https://t.co/I4Rbf3yStl— ProBoxingOdds (@ProBoxingOdds) May 31, 2021
Oddsmakers doing it again. I would make Jake a much-bigger favorite. Some fans don’t want to hear this but @jakepaul is a solid boxer for his experience level. No amateur fights, just three pro fights. Woodley isn’t a boxer, though his standup is far better than Askren’s https://t.co/NatgCOSBS7

#UFC fans didn’t even wanna see Woodley fight due to him being overly cautious and timid. Ugh. https://t.co/JrWxtKsrQ3
