Just four months after their August bout, Jake Paul and former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will go toe-to-toe once again Saturday night at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
The eight-round rematch, which will be available on Showtime PPV at 9 p.m. ET, can be purchased on Showtime.com, via the Showtime app and on all major cable and satellite providers for $59.99.
Paul (4-0, 3 KOs) gets another shot at Woodley (0-1), whom he beat following an eight-round split decision in August. Paul was scheduled to face fellow undefeated professional boxer Tommy Fury, the half brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, but Tommy had to back out due to injury.
Since making his boxing debut in January 2020, Paul is 4-0 with knockouts of YouTuber Ali Eson Gib, former NBA player Nate Robinson, and former Bellator and One Championship welterweight champion Ben Askren. In August, the YouTuber-turned-boxer earned a split decision win over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.
Earlier this week, the YouTuber-turned-boxer opened up about boxing-related brain injuries in an interview with journalist Graham Bensinger.
“I notice it in conversations with my girlfriend and her friends, like, not remembering something that I should be able to remember that happened a couple days ago,” Paul said. “Sometimes in my speech, where like every hundredth or two hundredth word, I’ll mess up or, like, slur. Which I didn’t do that before.”
Paul, who says he has suffered from 20 to 30 concussions, explained that he’s talked to “tons and tons” of people about treating such injuries, combating it with “new research and science” and “psychedelics.” Also in the interview, he spoke at length about his decision to not have sex before a fight, saying that it’s “100 percent” not in his head.
