Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley fighter history
Jake Paul’s continued journey from online personality to boxer resumes this week as he takes on what could very well be the toughest opponent in his short career. Paul has recorded an impressive 3-0 record since his debut in January 2020, each win coming by way of knockout.
In addition to Paul’s boxing training over the past few years, he also has some other factors working in his favor during this matchup.
Paul has the advantage when it comes to his height, age, and size. His four-inch height advantage gives him a two-inch reach over Woodley.
Woodley, who is 15 years older than Paul, has never competed above 170 pounds. Furthermore, he hasn’t won a fight in almost three years.
In his prime, Woodley was considered one of the best welterweight fighters in the history of UFC. After sustaining four-consecutive losses, however, he ultimately parted ways with UFC in March 2021 following a submission to Vicente Luque.
Woodley had a successful go of it as an MMA fighter, boasting a career record of 19-7-1. But in the boxing realm, he’s fresh meat. His boxing experience may be nominal, but his confidence seems to be returning.
Woodley is known for his overhand right punch, and says he has “always really been a boxer in a wrestler’s body”.
Woodley looks to his long-standing experience and his aversion to Jake Paul as incentive to win the match this week, betting he’ll knock out the YouTube celeb early on in the fight.
