Earlier this week, news broke that former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley would be making the move to boxing to face Jake Paul this summer. The bout has been teased since Paul knocked out Woodley’s friend and training partner Ben Askren in April, and one that Paul’s team views as a compelling step up in competition for the brash former Disney Channel star. Woodley, of course, will not only score a tremendous payday but the former welterweight champion says he believes this bout will open up big opportunities for him down the line.
“I think I box some more,” Woodley told TMZ Sports when asked what happens after he fights Jake Paul.
