When it comes to the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley, the opponent of the record holder has a similar resume to that of his former opponent. He is also a champion in wrestling who does not have much experience in the field of boxing.
The professional journey of both Woodley and Askren is quite similar. He faced a downfall in the year 2019 when he lost to Kamaru Usman in the match of March. He had earned a couple of titles before that. As for now, he is free because he does not have any contract with UFC. This is a good chance for him if he wins against Jake Paul.
