There’s no question that, when it comes to creating buzz around otherwise inconsequential boxing matches, Jake Paul has delivered the goods. His bouts against Nate Robinson and Ben Askren seemed to grab large audiences of boxing & MMA fans as well as viewers that otherwise take little to no interest in combat sports.
As MMA Mania’s Shakiel Mahjouri recently highlighted, former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has apparently never generated as much interest as he is right now, heading into his boxing debut against the former Disney star and YouTube personality. That includes his two-year run as a title holder in MMA’s most prestigious organization.
