This Sunday, Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley will meet inside a boxing ring.
In many eyes, Paul has the most on the line. The YouTuber turned professional boxer is 3-0 with all victories coming by way of knockout.
If he wants to continue his money train, he’ll need to keep that record up.
Woodley represents Paul’s toughest test to date and the former UFC welterweight champion says he’ll beat Paul so bad that the Problem Child won’t want to box anymore.
“I’m just glad to be a part of it, but I’m not only here to participate,” a fired-up Woodley said on The MMA Hour.
“I’m here to f*cking take over. And you’re going to see Jake Paul get hurt in a way you’d never imagine. He may not want to do this again after this.”
Paul has plans to face names like Conor McGregor, Tommy Fury and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez among many others but Woodley aims to scupper these in one fight.
Despite being maligned by most fight fans, Paul has been praised for his business acumen.
People are paying to watch his fights because they want to see him get beaten so badly and every time he wins, he only grows that discontent in the fight world.
However, Woodley says he is just as clever and has led Paul to believe the task at hand isn’t as tall as it really is.
“I’m smart too. He’s not the only smart one,” Woodley said. “When you see [my video blog] ‘Champ Camp’ drop Saturday, when it’s too late after the weigh-ins, you’re going to see what I’ve really been doing.
“What you guys have been seeing has been sprinkles, it’s been salt baes. When you see the destruction and the f*cking training and the mentality and the coaching and the running every single day, all different terrains, hills, speeds, adjustments, altitudes, it’s going to be too late for him to back out of this fight.
“And that’s why in the beginning I said I wanted a ‘no bitch out’ clause. Because I knew if he saw how hard I really punch, and how great my mind really is for this sport – any combat sport – my IQ and just the coaches, [that he might back out].”
Woodley lost his last four encounters in the UFC and didn’t win a single round in the process.
However, he is a big step up from the likes of Ben Askren and former NBA player Nate Robinson. There’s no denying that.
“I let him think I was bouncing around,” Woodley continued. “I just walked my daughter to school for her first day of first grade. I haven’t seen them in three months. I’ve been in Miami the whole time.
“I let him think I was in LA, Vegas, but [my team] were with me. They trained me in Miami. So I was super focused, super locked in, and now the cat’s out of the hat and this kid’s going to get his cap knocked off. And as the young kids say, no cap.”
