Fresh off his emphatic knockout of former MMA fighter Ben Askren, YouTube sensation Jake Paul is ready for his next fight - and it's against a former UFC champion.

Paul is set to go toe-to-toe with former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley - with Paul confirming its official date on social media on Tuesday afternoon.

From 2014 to 2018, Woodley was one of UFC's top fighters - winning the welterweight championship from Robbie Lawler in 2016, then successfully defended his belt four times before losing it to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235 in 2019.

Paul is coming off a stunning first-round knockout of former two-promotion MMA champion Ben Askren, who had Woodley in his corner for the bout.

Woodley was the member of Askren's team to watch the hand-wrapping of Paul ahead of the fight where a bit of beef broke out between Woodley and Paul's trainer J'Leon Love.

So far in his short boxing career, Paul has stopped former NBA point guard Nate Robinson and fellow social media influencer AnEsonGib - but can he put away a professional and decorated UFC champion?

With that said, what is Paul's professional boxing record so far and what do we know about his upcoming fight against Woodley?

When is Paul vs Woodley?

Jake Paul announced on his Instagram on Tuesday that he will be fighting Tyron Woodley on Saturday, 28 August.

In his post, he taunted the former MMA star and wrote: "Tyron's a seasoned striker who has fought the best MMA fighters in the world, but will be dropped by a Disney teen star in two rounds."

How can I stream Paul vs Woodley?

Following weeks of speculation, Paul and Woodley have reached an agreement for a fight that will take place on Showtime pay-per-view.

The bout is expected to take place on the network after Paul signed a deal with the premium cable company in May.

Sources close to the situation confirmed the news to MMA Fighting following an initial report from The Athletic's Mike Coppinger.

Where is Paul vs Woodley happening?

With the fight now confirmed for August 28, a press conference will be scheduled in the coming days with Paul and Woodley facing off for the first time.

A location for the fight will also be announced at that time.
