Date: Sunday, Aug. 29
Time: 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT (main event later in show)
Where: Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Cleveland
TV/Stream: Pay-per-view ($59.99)
Division: Cruiserweight (eight rounds)
At stake: No titles
Pound-for-pound ranking: None
Odds: Paul is slightly more than a 1½-1 favorite (average of multiple outlets)
Also on the card: Amanda Serrano vs. Yamileth Mercado, featherweights (for Serrano’s WBC and WBO titles); Daniel Dubois vs. Joe Cusumano, heavyweights; Charles Conwell vs. Mark DeLuca, junior middleweights; Montana Love vs. Ivan Barancyhk, junior welterweights
Prediction: Jake Paul KO 5
Background: Has Jake Paul bitten off more than he can chew this time? The YouTuber-turned-boxer has stopped all three of his opponents, fellow internet star Ali Eson Gib, former NBA player Nate Robinson and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren. Woodley could be a stiffer challenge. The 39-year-old former UFC champ, who will be making his boxing debut, has limited boxing skills – similar to those of Askren — but he has knockout power. That means this fight could come down to who lands the big punch first. Paul has put the work in to learn the fundamentals of the sport and is improving. However, his ability to hurt his opponents is the main reason he is unbeaten in his short career. Paul will have a size advantage over Woodley, who fought at 170 pounds in mixed martial arts. He’s 6-foot-1 and a natural 200-pounder. Woodley is only 5-9. Woodley has much more experience than Paul in the ring. He has had a reported 27 MMA fights, winning 19 of them (seven by knockout). Also, he has been working with the master – Floyd Mayweather – on his boxing skills. We’ll see how much he has learned in a short time. Bottom line: This is the most-interesting matchup of Paul’s career. Also on the card, knockout artist Amanda Serrano (40-1-1, 30 KOs) will defend her featherweight titles against Yamileth Mercado (18-2, 5 KOs). And heavyweight contender Daniel Dubois (16-1, 15 KOs) continues his comeback against Joe Cusumano (19-3, 17 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round bout. Dubois suffered a broken orbital socket in his knockout loss to Joe Joyce last November. He bounced back by stopping Bogdan Dinu in June.

Jake Paul: Tyron Woodley, Floyd Mayweather underestimating me is ‘biggest mistake’

Jake Paul said that Tyron Woodley and Floyd Mayweather underestimating him is “the biggest mistake.”

Editor’s note: This article was originally published on MMAJunkie.com.

Jake Paul is feeling very confident ahead of the toughest test of his young boxing career and suspects his opponent isn’t taking him seriously as an opponent.

Later this month, Paul will enter the boxing ring to face former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, the most dangerous opponent for Paul through three professional fights.

Paul is undefeated in his career thus far, having defeated Youtuber Ali Eson Gib, former NBA star Nate Robinson, and former UFC welterweight Ben Askren. Woodley’s combat sports resume is vastly different, as an MMA fighter with 28 professional fights and a well-respected title run in the biggest promotion on the globe.

Despite their differences on paper, Paul believes Woodley could be making a mistake by overlooking him as an opponent.

“I think he’s just going through the motions,” Paul told MMA Junkie. “I don’t know if he has really digested how good of a fighter I am. I still think there’s like this mental block for him where he’s just like, ‘Oh, this kid’s a YouTuber. How hard could this fight be?’”

The boxing match against Paul came to fruition for Woodley after a backstage altercation that occurred when his friend and training partner, Askren, took on Paul in April. Woodley will enter the boxing ring after exiting the UFC on a four-fight losing streak that started with dropping the welterweight title to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235.

“He says he’s training hard, and he says he’s doing all the right things, but I still think in the back of his head he’s like, ‘I’ve fought Kamaru Usman, I fought Gilbert Burns. This is gonna be an easy fight.’”

Woodley has been very active on social media posting clips of his training in addition to releasing episodes of his behind-the-scenes fight camp series called “Champ Camp” on YouTube. As a part of his training camp, Woodley turned to boxing legend Floyd Mayweather to prepare for the fight. Mayweather recently fought Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, in a boxing exhibition that went the distance.

“I’ve seen the little clips of him and Floyd training,” Paul said. “Floyd’s telling him the same thing, you know, like, ‘Just go out there and fight, he’s not a real fighter. He’s never been in there with a real fighter.’

“Them underestimating me will be the biggest mistake and he will be exposed for that.”

Paul vs. Woodley takes place on Aug. 29 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, airing on Showtime pay-per-view.

Jake Paul says he’ll never sign with UFC, Dana White ‘lives in lies’

Jake Paul says he’ll never sign with the UFC and that Dana White “lives in lies.”

Editor’s note: This article was originally published on MMAJunkie.com.

Jake Paul’s list of bones to pick with UFC president Dana White continues to grow.

On Thursday, the Youtuber-turned-boxer tweeted a lengthy statement directed at White that once again criticized UFC fighter pay – a topic Paul brings up time and time again.

The specific grievances were new, but still in line with Paul’s overarching themes of the criticisms he’s expressed in recent weeks. This time, Paul condemned the UFC 265 interim heavyweight title fight main event and its place above Amanda Nunes on the card.

What differed the most in Paul’s statement, compared to his previous ones, was a declaration. Claiming to have never actually been interested in doing so, Paul promised that he would never sign with the UFC and would never work with Dana White unless it was a co-promotion.

Read Jake Paul’s full statement to Dana White below:

“Dana White… you may have bullied your way to controlling thousands of fighters careers… but I have never said I want to sign with the UFC… nor will I ever… Maybe I would consider letting you co-promote one of my events against a UFC champion like you did for Conor when he fought Floyd… because you wouldn’t let Conor actually do it himself without you taking your cut… You live in lies and every major fighter on your roster has complained about pay… Conor, Jones, Masvidal, Diaz, Ngannou. You even make up fake belts to sell tickets instead of giving Amanda Nunes her opportunity to headline.. Remember Dana you were a cardio kickboxing instructor and didn’t even create the UFC (Gracie and Davie created it, the Fertittas saved it, and the FIGHTERS made it popular) YOU’RE a bald bum who can’t do an interview now without being asked about me… pay your fighters more !!”

Paul’s sentiment that he will never fight in the UFC has long been echoed by White, who has repeatedly shut down any suggestion that the two parties would do business in the future.

With a 3-0 record, Paul returns for his fourth professional boxing match on Aug. 28 when he takes on former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley which headlines a Showtime pay-per-view event.
