Paul defeated Woodley via split decision in his native Cleveland, Ohio to improve to a perfect 4-0 as a professional boxer. Not only has Paul been winning his fights, but he has also been selling out arenas and doing huge numbers of pay-per-view.

What's next for Jake Paul after defeating Tyron Woodley?
Cole Shelton - August 30, 2021
Jake Paul took a big step-up in competition on Sunday night as he boxed former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley in just his fourth pro fight. The fight was the first of a multi-fight deal with Showtime boxing and it was a closer bout than many thought.

Jake Paul says Tyron Woodley was a harder fight than Conor McGregor would be
Adam D Martin - August 30, 2021
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul says that his latest opponent, Tyron Woodley, was a harder fight than UFC superstar Conor McGregor would be. Paul defeated Woodley via split decision on Sunday night in Cleveland, Ohio. It was a closely-contested boxing match that went the full eight-round distance, but Paul did a little bit more during the fight and earned the split nod on the scorecards. With Paul now having a big win over Woodley on his resume, it will give him the extra ammunition needed in order to capture the interest of the biggest-named fighters in the sport. And of course, the biggest out there right now is arguably McGregor, so he against Paul would be a big fight.
Mike Perry says he wants to focus on boxing, calls out Tommy Fury: "I'm down to stand and bang"
Adam D Martin - August 30, 2021
UFC welterweight Mike Perry says he wants to focus on boxing, calling out pro boxer Tommy Fury and saying that “I’m down to stand and bang.” Perry, a UFC fan-favorite, is currently in the midst of a rough stretch during his MMA career. He is just 3-7 over his last 10 fights in the Octagon, including a 1-4 record in his last five fights. Moreover, Perry recently declined to fight Kevin Lee, which led to “The Motown Phenom” suggesting that “Platinum” should be removed from the UFC roster. Although Perry is currently in the midst of a losing skid, he is still a personal favorite of UFC president Dana White, which means that, like Sam Alvey, Perry will get another fight.

And there is arguably not a bigger name in combat sports than McGregor.
