Tyron Woodley: Anderson Silva ‘a good boxer’ but Jake Paul ‘training his ass off’

Tyron Woodley knows firsthand how dangerous an opponent Jake Paul is, having been defeated twice by ‘The Problem Child’ in 2021.

Woodley, the former UFC welterweight champion, rates Anderson Silva as ‘one of the best boxers in MMA’ but warned that YouTube sensation Paul is ‘training his ass off’ ahead of their Oct. 29 boxing match.

‘T-Wood’ lost a split decision to Paul in their first matchup and was knocked out by the latter in the rematch, suffering arguably the worst knockout defeat of his combat sports career after being flattened with a right hook in the sixth round.
