Paul (3-0) and Woodley (0-0) are set to square off on August 29 at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. The boxing match is scheduled for eight rounds, although neither man expects the fight to go the distance.

Tyron Woodley (19-7-1 MMA) concluded his UFC contract following four straight losses under the promotional banner. During that rough stretch ‘T-Wood’ suffered setbacks to Vicente Luque, Colby Covington, Gilbert Burns, and Kamaru Usman respectively. Not long after his contract had expired, ‘The Chosen One’ agreed to terms with Paul on a boxing match.

According to his manager Malki Kawa, Tyron Woodley is set to make a seven-figure payday for tomorrow night’s boxing match with Jake Paul.

“The money is good,” Kawa said. “He’s making a seven-figure payday, and it’s not like $1 million. It’s more. And we get a piece of everything as well, so we expect him to walk out of here with a substantial payday for his first fight in boxing.”
