Jake Paul will take on former UFC champion Tyron Woodley on August 28
Retired UFC fighter Woodley, 39, had a 19-7 career in the MMA world and held the UFC Welterweight Championship between 2016 and 2019.
It means the American is a similar challenge to that of Askren in terms of reputation, with Paul’s most recent opponent also mustering 19 victories in his MMA career.
The fight is the latest in what is becoming a long list of high-profile contests involving YouTubers, including Jake Paul’s brother Logan who will fight Floyd Mayweather later this month.
Logan’s brother Jake was recently named as the third-highest paid boxer over the past 12 months, with only Anthony Joshua and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez earning more than the American.
According to sporting finance aggregator Sportico, Paul raked in more than £14million from beating Robinson and Askren, as well as endorsements earned outside the ring.
