The time has arrived for Jake Paul and
Tyron
Woodley to settle their beef in the ring.
Both fighters made weight without issue on Saturday ahead of their
headlining bout. Paul checked in at 190 pounds, while Woodley
tipped the scales at 189.5 for the 190-pound catchweight affair.
The fight will take place on Sunday at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse
in Cleveland, Ohio, and airs on pay-per-view for $59.99 via
Showtime at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m PT. The contest is scheduled for eight
three-minute rounds.
Paul, who recently inked a multi-fight deal with Showtime, is
coming off a first-round knockout off former Bellator and One
Championship title holder Ben Askren in
April. Woodley was in Askren’s corner for that bout. After rising
to prominence as a YouTube personality, Paul has gone 3-0 as a
professional boxer, including a KO of NBA veteran Nate
Robinson.
