The boxing gloves won’t touch until Sunday night, but tensions were high at the official weigh-in on Saturday, stoking the fire of competition that already burns between Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul ahead of their Showtime Pay-Per-View
Inside the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio, Paul (3-0-0) and Woodley (debut) headline the six-fight event with their cruiserweight bout. The contest is the first of Paul’s contract with Showtime that he signed this spring, and the latest match featuring him or his older brother Logan Paul. The two have capitalized over the last year on the buzz generated by Jake’s knockout of former NBA player Nate Robinson last fall on the card for the special exhibition between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr.
