YouTube sensation Jake Paul and former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley are set to go toe-to-toe in a boxing match - with the fight officially announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Woodley, 39, who has lost his last four fights in the UFC, called out Paul, 24, in April - but insisted that he wanted any fight to be under MMA regulations.
However, the pair will now go head-to-head later this summer in a boxing ring, with Paul confirming its date on social media on Tuesday afternoon, as confirmed by The Athletic last month.
Getting under the skin of just about everyone in both the boxing and MMA worlds, Paul has a record of 3-0 since becoming a professional fighter.
