In bad news for Jake Paul, Tyron Woodley took Floyd Mayweather up on his offer to train him.
Woodley and Paul are set to meet on August 28 in what will be the former’s first ever pro boxing fight, but it will be Paul’s fourth.

Paul is 3-0 with three knockouts, but all of his opponents have been first-time boxers and certainly none of them have been trained by one of the greatest of all-time in Mayweather.
Ahead of Mayweather’s exhibition with Jake’s older brother Logan, Money insisted he would train Woodley to face Jake.
“Give me Tyron Woodley,” Mayweather said. “I’m gonna make sure I get in camp and I’m gonna train him for this fight. I want Tyron Woodley to come to Las Vegas and work with us.”

Woodley has now posted photos of the two putting in work and he sent an ominous message to Paul in the process.
“Bank robbery in progress. Y’all f*cked up! It’s stuck now,” Woodley posted.
Woodley, 39, is a former welterweight champion in UFC but since losing the belt, he hasn;t won a single round in the three fights that followed.
It’s been a slippery slope for the once formidable 170 pounder, but he does retain some striking power that Paul’s previous opponent, Ben Askren, certainly did not.

Woodley actually helped Askren get ready for Paul and he’d see his friend suffer a first-round knockout. He was at the event, though, and got into it backstage with Paul and his entourage.
Now the pair will settle the score on August 28 but with Woodley having scored some pointers from one of the all-time greats – who has a pristine 50-0 record – it seems like a different ball game.
Mayweather has refused to commit to taking part in any more fights following his failure to stop Logan Paul last month. He says he’ll never fight properly again, but the 44 year old would consider an exhibition if it was easy money.

Depending on what happens with Jake Paul here, that could be an easy option for Mayweather once again.
Of course, Jake and Mayweather have history after the Paul brother stole the boxing great’s hat during a press day for his fight with Jake’s brother, Logan.
