Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley will finally square off tomorrow night (Sun., Aug. 29, 2021) in an anticipated boxing main event live on FITE pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
For Paul, this is his chance to fight a legit combat striker with knockout experience. The social media influencer is coming off a blistering finish over former UFC fighter Ben Askren, but Woodley is a completely different animal and someone who is going to test Paul from the opening bell. Paul believes he will finish “Chosen One” within two rounds so he should come out fairly aggressive.
For Woodley, this is his opportunity to regain some sort of momentum after leaving UFC earlier this year in the midst of a four-fight losing streak. The former UFC welterweight champion has all the tools to sleep Paul and end the hype train, but we’ve seen Woodley choke in big spots before. It will be interesting to see what transpires when he makes his official boxing debut on Sunday night.
After successfully weighing in for their 190-pound catchweight bout (official weigh-ins replay HERE) Paul and Woodley stepped on stage for their official staredown earlier tonight. Check it out above and let us know who won the final faceoff.
