Paul vs. Woodley II titled “Leave No Doubt” will be the main event on SHOWTIME PPV, live from AMALIE Arena in Tampa, Флорида., во саботата, Декември 18 (9p ET/6p PT).
Woodley steps in to replace professional boxer and reality TV starTommy Fury, who withdrew from the event due to a medical issue that impacted his training camp. Paul vs. Woodley II is a professional cruiserweight bout scheduled for 8-rounds at a contract weight of 192 фунти.
“When my team woke me up on Friday to tell me Tommy was pulling out, I told them I’m ready to fight anyone on December 18,” said Paul, кој е 4-0 as a pro boxer with three knockouts. “Troy, Trey, Тревор, Тревис. I don’t give a damn who it is. Значи, as I predicted Tommy Fumbles and Tyron is there to pick it up, stepping in, and contractually he is getting an extra $500,000 if he knocks me out. First time I outboxed him. This time I’m gonna punish him and leave no doubt.”
Август 29, in front of a sold-out crowd of 16,000 fans at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Охајо, Paul registered a split decision over Woodley. The former UFC champion was Paul’s toughest opponent to date and the first fighter to take boxing’s newest star the distance. Судиите постигна борбата 77-75 for Paul, 77-75 for Woodley and 78-74 for Paul.
In his post-fight comments, Woodley said he thought he won the fight.
“I didn’t expect him to eat my punches like that. But the fact that one judge only gave me two rounds is insane. Forget that Tommy Fury fight. Let’s run that back,” said Woodley after the fight.
“The ropes held him up when I hit him,” Woodley continued. “I could have had that knockdown. I landed power punches and he missed shots all night.”
Fighting out of St. Луис, П, Woodley (19-7-1 MMA record) has a storied career in combat sports. He became UFC champion in July 2016, defeating Robbie Lawler in the first round, and went on to defend his title successfully four times. Before competing in the UFC, Woodley fought in the Strikeforce MMA promotion on SHOWTIME and compiled an 8-1 record from 2009 преку 2012.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday:
JAKE PAUL
“When I started boxing, I didn’t think I’d be here this fast. My original goal was to fight Conor McGregor or Floyd Mayweather, because I knew I would have a big enough pay-per-view draw to do those things. Now I want to become world champion. I want to fight and beat Canelo Alvarez. This has been a fast, quick roller coaster ride, but I didn’t expect to be here. I just knew I loved fighting and I knew I was good at it.
“This is an exciting time. I’m bringing it home for Cleveland. We knew that when we teamed up with SHOWTIME, that this would be a huge event. This is turning into a historic moment.
“Tyron Woodley is ‘The Chosen One’, we chose him to get his ass beat. None of his accomplishments matter on Sunday night. I’m sending him into retirement and turning him into a meme. People are going to see all of my skills. People are going to be surprised. I haven’t shown anything yet. I might come out southpaw. Ова е мојот излегува партија.
“It’s going to be another show on Sunday. I’m putting on another masterful performance and a boxing clinic. This guy is going to sleep and getting turned into another meme. Just like his friend Ben Askren. After Sunday, nobody is ever going to talk about Woodley ever again. He’s a speed bump on the road of my career.
“There’s no other fighter that’s 3-0 and taking fights against champions. I want challenges and I want to push myself. I was much more motivated in training camp because I know this is a dangerous opponent. I expect him to come out sharp and I expect this to be a fun one.
“I’m polarizing, I get it. I don’t care what people think. Most people aren’t like that. They’re scared to rub people the wrong way. Some people want to see me lose, but I’m here to stay.
“A fight against Tommy Fury makes sense. That’s a huge fight. It seems to be right in the palm of both of our hands. We do have to go out and perform on Sunday. I want to see how the U.S. crowd receives him. I want to see if he has that star power this whole entire week. He doesn’t have the big pay-per-view numbers that Tyron Woodley has, or even a Ben Askren. Those guys sold tons of pay-per-views. No one has seen a Tommy Fury fight.
“There’s no real respect between us. I’m going to show that winning a UFC championship doesn’t mean anything in the world of boxing.”
TYRON WOODLEY
“I’m almost falling asleep over here listening to this guy. It’s disgusting how much of a clown people have to be to be recognized. He’s got the appearance of being about that action down, but I’m really like that.
“This is the fight game. You can say what you want to say and you can do what you think fighters do. Jake does all the things to build the fight, but we’re really here now. He’s getting hurt on Sunday.
“All the people around him have lied to him. They don’t want to lose their bag. They’re not pushing him. You can come out with that dumb robot, тоа не е важно. You’re getting knocked out.
“I’m just really ready to fight. I don’t have any shenanigans or B.S. I should bring him some wipes to clean himself up when I knock him out on Sunday.
“He hasn’t shown me anything yet. Real recognize real. I don’t worry about what anyone on the outside is saying. I’m worried about bringing that action.
“I’m going crazy on Sunday. На крајот на денот, it’s been a long time coming. I’m thankful for my team that’s supported me but I’m also thankful for everyone who counted me out. When everyone comes against you, it shows how powerful what you’re about to do is.
“I think in general with combat sports, one person does something and people want to replicate it. This is a real fight though. If you look at the way we’re built, this is a real fight. Some people took this lightly and that’s why they came up short against him. We’ve been training since before this fight was even signed.
“All camps have highs and lows. You have to fight through adversity. With me mentally, it was a lot easier when we were having fun. It was passionate and you had people watching your every move and monitoring your every step. I’m just very grateful to all my coaches. За мене, this is just a lot of fun. I haven’t had fun in a long time, to be real. I loved this training camp. It was one of my most fun ever.”
AMANDA SERRANO
“I want to thank Jake for putting his faith in me and pushing to get me on this card. This is going to be two champions going at each other and leaving it all in the ring.
“These belts are my babies. It’s going to be very hard for her to beat me and take these back to Mexico. She’s going home empty-handed. I thank Mercado for taking the fight, but she’s not winning.
“I train and fight to be the best in the world. I hope that people can acknowledge that the women are champions as well and that we work as hard as the men. I’m showing everyone that women’s boxing is great too.”
YAMILETH MERCADO
“I’m coming up in weight, but I’m one of the biggest fighters at 122. I’m not worried at all about going up a division for this fight.
“I’m very well prepared and I feel strong. I’m confident that I’m going to win on Sunday and prove that I’m up to the challenge. We’re going to surprise a lot of people.”
DANIEL DUBOIS
“This is my U.S. деби, so I want to look good and win in devastating fashion. I’m a seek and destroy fighter and that’s what I’m bringing again.
“This guy is right for me and I’m ready for the fight. It’s going to be a spectacular debut and I’m going to announce my presence with a lot of power and skill.”
JUISEPPE ANGELO CUSUMANO
“We are both big power punchers and we’re exciting fighters. We like to fight and bang on the inside. There’s going to be a lot of punches thrown for as long as this lasts . That’s what we’re going to come out and do.
“It’s the heavyweight division. It only takes one punch. That’s what people love about this division. I can’t wait to get in the ring on Sunday night.”
Oy BARANCHYK
“I’m excited to be here and fighting on this show. I learned a lot from my last fight. I put in a great training camp so that I can show my new weapons. I just need to take everything from my training camp and bring it into the ring.
“I think Jake Paul is very, very good for boxing. It’s good to have these famous guys join professional boxing because it helps the fighters. It’s good for promoting the sport. I don’t know what will happen in the fight on Sunday night. Jake Paul is young and he’s hungry. But Tyron Woodley is a tough guy. He’s a professional fighter and we will see.”
MONTANA LOVE
“A win is going to put the whole division on notice. They know I’m coming. I’ve worked with plenty of champions and been in plenty of camps. Сега, everybody watching is going to see what I’m going to do.
“This fight means everything for my career. I’m introducing myself to the 140-pound division with my fight on Sunday. Beating an ex-champion will definitely put me in a whole new category.
“My city is behind me 100%. They know how I’m coming. We’re training hard and we’re excited for this. All of Jake’s fans are going to be my fans after Sunday.”
“Gervonta Davis came up to my weight. He got a title. Congratulations on that. Сега, if he’s ready to keep it or not, that’s on him. But if he does keep it, we want the fight.”
TOMMY FURY
“I’m very happy to be in Cleveland and performing for everyone. Everyone is very familiar with Tyson, and they’re about to learn all about what I bring. I’m coming with my own package and my own game and you’re going to see that on Sunday night.
“If Taylor thinks I’ve overlooked him, he’s dead wrong. I’ve been grueling for eight weeks like I’m fighting for the world titles. Sunday night, I’ll get the job done, and then I can think about what could be next for me.
“Anthony Taylor can’t get off his phone and stop doing autographs. I haven’t been on my phone in five weeks. I’ve been living and training like a demon. I don’t care about fame, and I don’t care about money. All I want is to be a world champion.”
ANTHONY TAYLOR
“I know he’s overlooking me. Tommy is here just to face off with Jake Paul. But I’m here to fight. Don’t look down on me. Just because he beat up six bums, doesn’t mean he’s going to beat me up.
“He’s not going to stop me. He’s fought nobody. I’m not that guy you’re just going to run through. We’re not cut from the same cloth, and he’s not the same as his brother. He’s not ready for me.”
CHARLES CONWELL
“It’s amazing to fight back at home in my city. I’ve had a lot of local support back here throughout the years and there are a lot of people here who haven’t been able to see me fight.
“To have all the support I’ve gotten leading up to fight, I’m just more ready than ever to put on a show and let everyone know what I’m about.”
JUAN CARLOS RUBIO
“It’s true that I haven’t fought anyone on Charles’ level, but I feel strong, I’m well prepared and I’m ready to give a show to the people of Cleveland.
“We’re going to see if he’s ready for the next level of competition. We won’t know until we step in the ring. But I’m definitely going to give it my all and give him a test.”
Стивен ESPINOZA, Претседател, Спорт & настан Програмирање, Showtime Мрежи Inc.
“SHOWTIME has been in boxing a long time. We have a long history in the sport. But the thing about boxing is that it always has a way of surprising you. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, along comes someone like Jake Paul to upset the apple cart. I’m excited to see the sport innovate, change and evolve.
“I’m very proud of this card. We have some of the best fighters in the world on this card, from world champions to up-and-coming fighters and promising prospects. This card has a bit of everything.
“This card is filled with fighters who didn’t listen when they were told no. No one on this card has been handed anything. They’ve all beaten the odds. I’m proud to have every one of them on this card.
“The great thing about boxing, is that on some level, nothing matters until you get into the ring. To borrow a phrase, ‘boxing don’t lie’. Boxing is the ultimate truth-teller. When Sunday night rolls around, your resume and your following doesn’t matter. For all the hype and hoopla, make no mistake, these are fights. The purest form of competition. The great thing about boxing is, when two competitors enter that ring, each fighter gets a chance to rewrite their own history. It all comes down to that moment of truth on Sunday night.”
Renowned Content Creator and Unbeaten Pro Boxer Paul and Former UFC Champion Woodley Show Off Skills Ahead of SHOWTIME PPV Headliner This Sunday, Август 29 од Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland Кликнете ТУКА за Слики од Аманда Westcott / Showtime CLEVELAND(Август 25, 2021) – Renowned content creator and unbeaten pro boxerJake “The Problem Child” Pauland former UFC championTyron “The Chosen One” Woodleykicked off fight week on Wednesday with an open to the public media workout before they headline on SHOWTIME PPV this Sunday, Август 29 from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland.
The media workout also featured fighters who will be competing in undercard action, including Puerto Rican star and WBC/WBO Featherweight World ChampionАманда "Реал дил" Серано, who will enter the ringin the PPV co-feature, Поранешниот светски шампион Иван Baranchyk and unbeaten Cleveland-nativeМонтана Љубов, who meet in a 10-round attraction, plus U.K. ѕвезди Daniel “Dynamite” Duboisи Tommy “TNT” Fury, who compete in separate PPV undercard bouts.
Rounding out the participants on Wednesday was 2016 U.S. Olympian and Cleveland-nativeCharles Conwell, who will enter the ring for an undercard showdown prior to the PPV.
The Cleveland-native Paul will be looking to thrill his hometown crowd on Sunday night topping a stacked night of action as he takes on the toughest test of his burgeoning boxing career in the dangerous and accomplished Woodley.
Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Public Square in Cleveland:
JAKE PAUL
“I couldn’t have thought about a moment like this. I couldn’t have dreamt it. That’s why I was just looking around. Јас бев како, ‘how am I here?’ This is the city that made me and to bring this one home is the perfect crescendo to my boxing career that’s just starting out. Looking around and seeing friends and family, seeing this beautiful city, I’m just having fun. I’m trying to soak it all in because you don’t get moments like this twice in life.
“Tyron said he’s training like he’s fighting Mike Tyson. Floyd Mayweather is training him and you can tell he’s in shape. He’s got the six pack back. He’s looking good. He’s not messing around. This is his biggest fight ever and the whole MMA community is counting on him to represent them and to get the ‘W’. За жал, that’s not going to happen. And when I beat him, there will be no excuses because he was being trained by Floyd Mayweather. Because Jorge Masvidal said he was going to knock me out. Because he took this camp and had a 14-week camp. He has no excuses.
"Го сакам бокс. I fell in love with it. There’s something about knocking someone out and cracking someone in the face. My whole life has been a fight. I never got anything handed to me so I feel like I’m at home. I feel like I was put on this earth to fight. And I like challenges. I’m driven by challenges.
“Boxing is a 24-7 работа. The training camp – sleep, јадете, recovery, no partying, no distractions – all of that type of stuff makes it the hardest thing I’ve done in my life. Повеќе, the promotional side of it. I’ve probably done 75 interviews in the past three weeks. It’s non-stop.”
TYRON WOODLEY
“All camps have highs and lows. You have to fight through adversity. With me mentally it was a lot easier when we were having fun. It was passionate and you had people watching your every move and monitoring your every step. I’m just very grateful to all my coaches. За мене, this is just a lot of fun. I haven’t had fun in a long time, to be real. I loved this training camp. It was one of my most fun ever.
“I don’t have any issue with Jake Paul. Only issue is he signed the contract. He’s trying his very best to play the mind games. But I’m a man. I don’t play kids’ games.
“There’s a lot of things in MMA you can get away with. In MMA you can make excuses like, ‘Coach, I’ve got to watch out for a kick or get ready for the take takedown.’ So we make all these excuses. None of those excuses are allowed.
“The times I worked with Floyd [Mayweather], he was very vocal. You couldn’t do nothing wrong. And that’s what makes him so great. In MMA we over-do it a lot, but it doesn’t always transition into power. It doesn’t always transition into accuracy. He gave me the foundation of how he beat everyone he did.”
AMANDA SERRANO
“Jake Paul is the main event, but he’s not the main attraction. I am going to make sure I steal the spotlight from him and entice people to enjoy female boxing and to understand that women can fight and put on shows, and showcase that we’re deserving of this opportunity.
“It’s a Puerto Rican champion versus a Mexican champion. That’s enough said. She’s young and hungry and wants my titles, but I’ve worked super hard for those titles and it’s not going to be an easy task to take them away from me.
“I bring excitement, knockout power, skills, and a great chin as well. I’ve been boxing since I was eighteen years old. Boxing is all I have known. I’ve dedicated and sacrificed my whole life to the sport of boxing.
“I fight for the sport of women’s boxing. It’s not for me, it’s for the future girls coming into the sport.”
Oy BARANCHYK
“I’m excited. I’m hungry and I’m ready for the next challenge. He’s never fought anybody like me. He’s never been ten rounds. I’m ready for a long-distance fight.
“Of course he’s going to try to move around a lot and box me. But this is no problem for me. I’ve changed my style a little bit. I will try to show everybody the new Ivan Baranchyk.
“We will see what’s next for me. Во моментов, I just need to fight Montana Love. We will see what happens after that.”
MONTANA LOVE
“There’s a lot of motivation from fighting in my hometown. Јас сум многу возбуден. I’m happy to be in this position. It’s very rare that these kinds of events come to Cleveland. I hope there’s more to come. It’s a dream come true to fight in front of thousands of fans. My friends, моето семејство. I get emotional at times being here and having this opportunity is great.
“I just have to be myself on Sunday night. I’ve been doing this since I was five years old. I just have to pull everything out of my arsenal. Hopefully Ivan pushes me. I think he will push me so that I can show the next level.
“I’m just focused on this fight that’s in front of me. My only goal right now is to be victorious on Sunday night. После тоа, we’ll look to do a title eliminator after that and then I’ll fight for a world title.
“I’m expecting Ivan Baranchyk to be wild, агресивни, силна. With him, it’s not about his skill or anything like that. We expect aggression and wildness.”
DANIEL DUBOIS
“I want to show that I’m all action. I’m not a man of many words, but when I get in that ring, they’re going to see that I’m the real deal. It’s going to be a devastating performance.
"Јас сум 23, so with that loss I have just gotten stronger. I’ve had to learn to tighten up my game and that I have flaws, so I’ve just been working on that. This is going to be like my debut.
“I’m full of confidence and I’m ready to go right now. I can make this fight as easy as I want it to be in my opinion. I’m the next one coming through. I’m destined to be a world champion, that’s my goal.”
TOMMY FURY
“This is my first fight in the U.S. But I’m used to it, it’s not my first rodeo because since I was a young kid I watched Tyson fight Klitschko and I’ve always been there on fight week and watched how he handled himself on fight week and thought when my time comes, which is now, I’m going to do the exact same thing. So I flew my team out here and we do what Tyson did, and it’s easy work.
“To be a Fury you grow up to be a fighter, and there’s nothing else. It’s fight, Борбата, Борбата. As a kid, you don’t do nothing else. It’s fight, Борбата, Борбата. And that’s all I’ve done my entire life. I’ve been around fighters. Everyone in my family does it and now it’s my time.
“I don’t feel one bit of pressure because there’s only pressure when you try to live up to somebody. I’ve said this time and time again there will never ever be another Tyson Fury. No one will ever come close. I’m only trying to do the best I can do. And as long as I’m being the best version of Tommy Fury, I don’t care about anything else. I’m only trying to do the best that I can do.”
CHARLES CONWELL
“I’m doing this in front of my family and my friends and want to thank everyone for supporting me. It’s going to be a major event.
"[Juan Carlos Rubio] is an undefeated fighter, 18-0. That means 18 have tried and not succeeded. But on Sunday night it’s a whole different story as he’s fighting a whole different type of fighter he’s never experienced before. There are levels to this boxing game and this one is just going to take me to the top.
"Да, I think every fight is a level-up fight at this point in my career. I keep getting to fight on bigger and bigger stages.
“I just want to show the fans what good boxing is and to put on a performance that they can remember me for. Whatever that has to be and if it’s a knockout, I’m going to go out there and do it. I’m going out there and risking everything, just like he is
“The local support is amazing for me. I have a lot of people here supporting me. I’m looking to steal the show, every time. I know there are a lot of great fights on this card, but I’m looking to put on a show.”
“I’m facing a tough Mexican fighter, but I’ll beat her at her own game!" WBC and WBO Featherweight World Champion Amanda Serrano Defends Her Titles Against Super Bantamweight Champion Yamileth Mercado Sunday, Август 29 in Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley SHOWTIME PPV® Ко-Функција ЊУЈОРК – Август 18, 2021 – Puerto Rican star and unified WBC/WBO Featherweight World ChampionАманда "Реал дил" Серано plans to take full advantage of her opportunity on the SHOWTIME PPV event headlined byJake Paul vs. Tyron Woodleywhen she faces super bantamweight world championYamileth Mercadoво неделата, Август 29 from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Охајо.
“It means a lot to women’s boxing for me to be in this position to perform on this stage,” said Serrano. “We deserve to be in the spotlight. I’ll perform like I always do and represent for women’s boxing the best way I know how. I’m very excited that they chose me for this event.”
In an event headlined by the renowned content creator and pro boxer Paul, who will be taking on his toughest test to date in the ring against the former UFC champion Woodley, Serrano knows that her style will help her gain fans on this big platform.
“Expect this to be a war, because I always bring the fireworks,” said Serrano. “I have a fan-friendly style and I’m going out there to finish my opponent. That’s what the fans want to see.
“Don’t blink during this one, because even though she’s a tough fighter with a lot of heart, this could be a short fight. I give her a lot of credit for accepting this fight right away. I know that I’m facing a tough Mexican fighter, but I’ll beat her at her own game!"
Already the most-decorated fighter in women’s boxing, having won world titles at every weight class from 115 на 140 фунти, the Brooklyn-based fighter currently has her sights set on becoming undisputed at featherweight, which means eventually luring the other 126-pound titlists into the ring with her.
“If Erica Cruz and Sarah Mahfood want to be considered the best, they have to face me,” said Serrano. “Each of them was offered the biggest purse of their career to face me on August 29, and they turned it down. I want to be undisputed in this division, but they refuse to take any chances. All I can do right now is train to be at my best and make another statement against Mercado.”
Throughout her training for this fight, Serrano has had the opportunity to train side-by-side with the event’s headliner in Paul. While she sees Paul doing what is necessary to reach his ultimate dreams, she too is intrigued by his matchup against the very tough Woodley on August 29.
“Jake is an up-and-coming fighter who’s taking all the right steps,” said Serrano. “He’s learning on the job and he’s shown that he’s a very hard worker. He’s got a positive team around him and I’m excited to see how he fights Tyron Woodley. Woodley is a great fighter and I’m looking forward to seeing how that matchup plays out.”

ЊУЈОРК(Август 6, 2021) – British heavyweight sensationDaniel “Dynamite” Duboisbeamed with excitement during an open training session for his showdown against veteranJuiseppe Angelo Cusumano, which will be featuredon the undercard of theJake Paul vs. Tyron WoodleySHOWTIME PPV fight card on Sunday, Август 29 (8 вечер. ЕТ / 5 вечер. Португалија) from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Охајо.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to put on an explosive performance in front of the U.S. audience and show them who the future heavyweight champion of the world is going to be,” said Dubois.
Dubois (16-1, 15 КО) is preparing for his U.S. debut under the tutelage of trainer Shane McGuigan out of McGuigan’s Gym in London. Since turning professional in 2017, the London-born star has only fought in the United Kingdom but has long desired fighting across the pond.
“This really is a fight with two purposes,” continued Dubois. “It is not just the fight, it is about the crowd and I have always dreamt of fighting in America, but this will be a different sort of crowd with a different atmosphere as well. I am going to take it in and experience all they have got out there.
“Се разбира,, it will be all new to me, with a new young crowd and a new environment. I want to just go out there and perform well. Fighting on SHOWTIME will be special too, the big channel in the U.S., putting on the big shows.”
The 23-year-old has a near-perfect knockout percentage with 15 knockouts in his short pro career. His lone decision was a dominating performance over former world title challenger Kevin Johnson in 2018. Dubois has dispatched four undefeated fighters as he has risen the ranks, including an impressive first-round knockout against then unbeaten Ebenezer Tetteh in September 2019. His last three knockout victories have all come in the second round against difficult challengers Kyotaro Fujimoto, Ricardo Snijders and Bogdan Dinu. Dubois’ knockout performance against Dinu in June remains one of the most sensational finishes in the heavyweight division in 2021.
“It will be important for me to be explosive as I usually am, but I am not going to overthink it,” added Dubois. “It is just part of what I do and to be the best me, I go in there and knock them out. That has always been my approach.”
The WBA No. 1 ranked heavyweight, Dubois will take the next step toward a world title shot as he takes on the veteran challenger Cusumano, who hails from Danville, Вирџинија. Cusumano is coming off a sixth-round knockout win over Gregory Corbin in November 2020.
“This represents a wonderful opportunity for Daniel to increase his recognition in the United States,” said International Boxing Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren. “I believe Daniel is the best young heavyweight in world boxing and another knockout for Daniel moves him closer to a huge fight for the WBA world title held by Trevor Bryan. This is a tremendous opportunity and I’m delighted to deliver it to him so early in his career.”
Dubois will continue to train in London alongside undefeated WBO cruiserweight world champion Lawrence Okolie, who has served as a chief sparring partner during preparations for Cusumano. The heavyweight contender will wrap up training in two weeks before departing for Cleveland to defend his WBA Interim title.
“I am ready now to push on and build on the WBA Interim title I won in my last fight,” said Dubois. “I am thrilled to take the show on the road and look to win the American public over. I am told the American public loves heavyweight boxing, so it is time to introduce them to Daniel Dubois.
“I will make sure it is a name they won’t forget in a hurry,” concluded the six-foot, five-inch contender.

He began his professional boxing journey in January 2020 and has proven to be an influential participant in the sport’s landscape with his outsized personality and quickly developing skill set. The Cleveland-native is fighting out of Puerto Rico under the eye of former pro boxing contender B.J. Цвеќиња, who has been training Jake from his first professional fight. After knocking out YouTube star AnEsonGib and former NBA star Nate Robinson in his first two outings, Paul made quick work of former MMA champion Ben Askren in April with a first-round knockout. With the win over Askren, Paul notched his first victory over a seasoned professional fighter and now takes on an even bigger challenge in Woodley.
“I grew up going to Cavs, Browns and Indians games on the weekends, dreaming as a little kid of one day being in a position to put on a show for my hometown like they did,” said Paul. “On August 29, that dream comes true. My biggest challenge to date, in front of the city that made me, on pay per view for the world to see me knockout a UFC champion. I’m also thrilled to have Amanda Serrano on this card. She stands out as the most prolific KO artist in women’s boxing. What a night this is going to be!"
Fighting out of St. Луис, Мисури, Woodley (19-7-1 MMA record) has a storied career in combat sports. He became UFC champion in July 2016, defeating Robbie Lawler in the first round, and went on to defend his title successfully four times. Before competing in the UFC, Woodley fought in the Strikeforce MMA promotion on SHOWTIME and compiled an 8-1 record from 2009 преку 2012. Widely considered one of the most dangerous punchers in UFC history, Woodley earned 14 на неговата 19 wins by way of TKO or submission.
“I’m a grown ass man,” said Woodley. “I don’t play games with kids. They brought me in to take the trash out. You’re welcome!”
Serrano is the most decorated fighter in women’s boxing history with a professional record of 40-1-1 со 30 капачките. She was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Brooklyn, Њујорк, where she trains alongside her sister, former featherweight champion Cindy Serrano. The 32-year-old has won titles in every division between 115 и 140 фунти, earning belts in those two divisions just four months apart with fights in September 2018 and January 2019. Serrano won her WBC and WBO featherweight world championship belts in a high-profile showdown against Heather Hardy in 2019 and most recently she defended her titles with a knockout win over three-division world champion Daniela Bermudez in March.
Chihuaha, Mexico’s Mercado (18-2, 5 КО) has held the super bantamweight title since November 2019 and will look to become a two-division champion on August 29 when she challenges Serrano. The 23-year-old won the title via unanimous decision over Fatuma Zarika, avenging a previous defeat to Zarika in Mercado’s first attempt at the championship. Mercado rides a six-fight winning streak into this showdown, including victories over Julissa Guzman and previously unbeaten Angelica Rascon in 2021.

Мајами(Јуни 4, 2021) – Social media superstar and undefeated pro boxerJake “The Problem Child” Paulfaced off with his next opponent, five-time UFC championTyron Woodley, at the historic 5таStreet Gym in Miami on Thursday ahead of their highly anticipated summer showdown on SHOWTIME PPV.
Here is what Paul and Woodley had to say following their heated stare down in Miami:
JAKE PAUL
“I told him I’ll pay you double your purse if you beat me. But if you lose, you have to pay your purse to my charity. He lacks confidence. Why wouldn’t you take that bet as a fighter if you knew you were going to win? To make double the money? This is the biggest pay day of your life and you can make double? Put your money where your mouth is.
“He’s a good striker. He’s known for knocking people out. But I think when I beat Tyron, people have to put respect on my name. But that’s not what I’m here for to be honest. I already know how good I am. I know that this is going to be another easy fight. That’s why SHOWTIME is in business with me. Ти си гледа во иднината на бокс.
“He’s not as good as me and he’s playing catch-up. We see holes in his whole entire game and he has try to learn how to box. He’s stiff. Muscles don’t fight and he’s going to be out of his element. Ова е бокс. This isn’t MMA. You can’t learn how to box in this amount of time. Now we’re going to show him the reins. The Disney kid is going to beat up the five-time UFC champion of the world. It’s going to be hilarious.
“I haven’t even shown my fighting abilities at all. I haven’t even made it past two rounds in my professional career. I haven’t been hit in the face. Nobody can even see if I have a chin or my inside fighting game. I haven’t even warmed up yet. And by the way, I’m the type of fighter that gets better the longer the fight goes on. I get better in sparring so I haven’t even been able to warm up and I’m excited to show my ability if he can make it out of the first round.
“I’ve predicted every single one of my fights. I said Ben Askren, Првиот круг. I said Nate Robinson, Првиот круг. He got to the second. I said in my first pro fight, Првиот круг. I don’t think Tyron will make it out of two rounds. You might not even get to see my boxing abilities in this fight to be honest.”
TYRON WOODLEY
“I’ve always wanted to box my whole life but never did it. This is my opportunity. This is a kid that’s a power-puncher. He’s got a lot of strength behind him. This is going to be a big platform to showcase what I can do in a boxing ring. And he’s a fighter. Тој може да се бори. На крајот на денот, you can watch him and the timing, the rhythm and the footwork is there.
“He hasn’t fought very long. But the little action that I have seen was clean. Good defense. Nate was rushing him, he protected himself and he came out of his shell and cracked him.
“He’s trying to downplay his ability. He’s a fighter. Don’t let him play you by saying, ‘I’m just a YouTuber.’ Last week, he was a fighter. When he was saying nobody wanted to fight him, he was a fighter. You’re not a YouTuber anymore. You’re not on Disney. It’s been a long time since he was on Disney. That’s like me saying I’m just a collegiate wrestler and I don’t punch people.
“I just want to have fun. I want to train hard. I want to get better. I want to go out there and do things on my terms and be the one to call the shots. I want to go out there and make history. I always make history. I may not always get the credit for it but I’m always the first. Fighters always hit me up asking what they should do, what they’re doing wrong. Now it’s time for me to go do it myself.”
Том, Tony and Rich discuss the week in combat sports, recap a stacked UFC 225 картичка (and CM Punk’s failure to launch his MMA career), and go over the results of a wild weekend for boxing. We begin by highlighting two high profile mentions of death in the UFC Octagon. Dana White and Tyron Woodley are both in the news this week for raising the topic. Listen to the full broadcast below:
На КО Панк му треба ждреб за да нè заинтересира за неговата кариера. Дури и ако го победи вечниот живот на глупости од следниот човек, тие го хранат во Октагон во УФЦ, Панк сепак ќе има многу за да докаже. Покажете го против Мејведер во добредојде во ММА рунда за боксер од светска класа, и направете го сонот за поставување на Флојд кој му дава целосна моќност и спонзорски отстапки што ги сака во договорот.
Флојд ќе биде автоматско погубување против Мек Грегор веднаш во кафезот. Предизвик како КМ Панк му дава повеќе шанси за борба. Тоа му дава шанса на КМ панк навистина да ја започне својата кариера ако може да го победи Флојд.
Факт е, Мејведер може брзо да го научи спортот на мешани воени вештини, и со неговата брзина и атлетизам, со оглед на зачудувачките опции, тој всушност може да нè шокира во неговата прва борба против ММА… ако тој навистина го поткрепи својот говор за борба во кафезот со акција.
За време на турнејата за натпревар во боксот, Флојд повеќе пати ја повикувал идејата за борба против Мек Грегор во кафезот, откако натпреварот во боксот тргна по својот пат. Тој не кажува нешта гласно за кои навистина не мисли дека се вистинити или би можеле да бидат вистинити ако тој го потоне својот напор во тоа.
Имав добра среќа да стојам на работ на рингот покрај Леонард Елербе за време на тренингот на Мејведер во Лас Вегас пред неколку години.
Пред да фрли какви било удари по митлите, го прашав што најмногу му се допаѓа на боксот. Не се обидов да се приближам за време на големиот печат, па мислам дека тој не го очекуваше прашањето.
Седеше молчеше, и не сакав да виси како лошо прдеж на ветрот. Повторно го прашав, дури и погласно. Тој не го погледна мојот начин додека се сенка со себе. “Сè.” тој конечно призна, и потоа отиде да работи на изложување на својата брзина и удирање на моќта за сите медиуми да ја видат.
Вклучување на лактите, бебиња, клоци и борење во неговата борбена рутина може да создадат вистински чудовиште надвор од Мејведер. Исто така,, парите од боксот што ќе го следат до кафезот може да бидат огромни за него и за УФЦ. Hisе биде потребно еден тон работа на негова возраст за да се прилагоди на новиот спорт, но КМ Панк како прв противник ја поставува решетката прилично ниска, при што двајцата добија можност да покажат дека припаѓаат. Дајте им на двајцата сериозен камп за обука, направи реалност шоу од тоа, и може да се случи.
“Пари” веќе се подготвува да тренира во мешани воени вештини со УФЦ Шампион Тајрон Вудли, и тој неодамна освои неколку пофалби и на Вудли и Мек Грегор како борци:
ММА наспроти дебатата за боксот трае од многу одамна пред да се реши да си ја преземам работата со серија радио-емисии кои ги третираат еден експерт против друг. Еден од моите омилени беше “Коцки” Scон Скули против Кен Шамрок.
Секој што мисли дека најдобриот ММА борец во својата класа на тегови го демолира Флојд, никогаш не го гледал како тренира. Што можеше да направи овој човек со неколку борби за мелодии и навалување на титулата? Како за 9 месеци напорна обука во одбраната и поднесување на одбраната?
Сите и нивниот брат кој знае нешто за ММА, одлучува да го искористи аргументот на сите минати боксери кои не успеаја во ММА. Тие не потсеќаат на сите на борбата против измамите, во која учествуваше Ренди Курту, лесно го победи ејмс Тони. Флојд Mayweather, Џуниор. не само што е на поинакво ниво отколку што беше Jamesејмс Тони кога доби шанса да се бори во кафезот, тој е на друга планета.
Флојд може да си ги дозволи најдобрите тренери, најдоброто од сè што навистина се подготвува да влезе во UFC Octagon. Тој нема да заштеди никаков трошок за финансии и пот во капиталот за зацврстување на неговото наследство како најдобар борбеник за крстарење во историјата на ривалството во боксот и ММА. Кој има најдобри вистински спортисти? Мејведер е најдобар во боксот, и не му останува многу време да докаже дека боксер од светска класа може да доминира на ММА сцената со правилен пристап и стратегија.
Мек Грегор докажа дека може да му даде на Флојд неколку погодоци во боксерскиот ринг, но на третата борба во договор со УФЦ тој натпревар би можел да се случи повторно во кафезот. Флојд само треба да покаже дека припаѓа, но првиот чекор е да се има храброст да се поткрепат неговите зборови со постапки. Тој рече дека на турнејата во боксот за печатот во борбата против Мекгрегор вели дека кога го победил Мек Грегор во сопствениот занает, тој ќе отиде во УФЦ и ќе го победи Конор во кафезот, премногу.
Предвидувам а “Резервоар за ајкули” вид преговори помеѓу Мејведер и претседателот на УФЦ Дана Вајт. Флојд ќе треба да добие дел од самата промоција, пристап до дива сума на спонзорски пари, опции за прибирање на приход од медиуми, и барем $10 милиони за борба само со основна плата. За да го добие договорот од милијарди долари, тој предвидува, адвокатите ќе ги пеглаат деталите сè додека Флојд одлучи дека треба да тренира за својата прва борба.
Флојд лесно можеше да влезе $90+ милиони во спонзорство и приход на медиуми што треба да се направи $100 милиони за борба со директорите на Showtime во неговиот агол и блискоста да се биде пред камерите. Договор за пет борби значи дека постои 1/2 милијарди долари јаз освен ако не потценувам колку UFC би му дал на Флојд за основна плата. Дури и ако тој направи $200 милиони за борба, остатокот ќе мора да излезе од целокупната корпорација како капитал, што е она што го бара Конор Мек Грегор.
Флојд само има поголема глава да биде сопственик / партнер и би бил огромна предност кога станува збор за УФЦ што сака да го промовира боксот во одреден момент. Тој исто така може да ги донесе своите обожаватели и секој што сака да го види се камшикува и школува во новата дисциплина. Тој носи очното јаболко, екстремно внимание и пари со него каде и да оди. На а $5 милијарди вреднување, УФЦ најверојатно ќе може да учествува со десет проценти парче од промоцијата за да го донесе Мејведер официјално на бродот и да го заклучи за долгорочен договор.
Другата област на која Флојд може да има огромно влијание е привлекување повеќе боксери за преминување кон МЛД. Видовме фудбалери како Мет Митрионе и Грег Харди доживеаја вистински непосреден успех во ММА, па зошто да не боксер од светска класа како Флојд? 19-0 Про боксерот ervервонта Дејвис веќе најавува дека ја следи неговата штитеница Флојд до ММА и вели тој само чека телефонски повик на Дана Вајт. Потоа, тука се боксерите во тешка категорија што треба да размислат да го внесат кафезот, и шампион на зборови Ентони oshошуа сака да шутира, премногу.
Значи, големи се шансите Мејведер да влезе во кафезот за да се натпреварува до декември оваа година, ако верувате дека едно од неговите најконтроверзни видеа до сега на оваа тема:
Мејведер би можел да биде неверојатен MMA борец ако им се даде половина од шансите. Тој не е човек што вака предизвикува лесно. Тој ќе го има најдобриот можен пристап за да влезе во облик на кафез. Тој ќе ги врати сите видови на интерес назад во боксот против. ММА дебата и всушност може дури и да инспирира сосема нова фаза од таа дебата. Воениот спортски спорт како целина ќе има корист ако Флојд и УФЦ можат да го направат ова партнерство да работи.
Што се однесува до оние што мислат дека Флојд ќе се изеде жив, тие секако имаат право на свое мислење, но не користете неуспехот на Мек Грегор да се прилагоди на боксот како ваша лента за Флојд. Мејведер нема да го заземе борецот од светска класа ММА првиот пат кога ќе зачекори во кафезот. Тој нема да донесе во ММА еквивалент на Поули Малињаги за да се забрза во спортот. Тој нема да штеди никаков трошок за да ја добие можната најдобра подготовка. Тој веќе го покажува тоа да биде вистина со тоа што го донесе Тајрон Вудли за свој официјален партнер за обука. Тој ќе го одбере својот прв противник и најверојатно нема да добие пукнатина во титулата сè додека две или три борби не одат по неговиот пат.
Критичарите на луѓето кои мислат дека можат да се појават во ММА салата и да излезат за шест недели на ниво на УФЦ, ќе ме наречат луд, но Флојд навистина е неверојатен спортист кој може да ги смири своите сомневачи, и тој не старе помлад. Сега или никогаш не треба да се реши ова прашање за кој спорт е навистина подобар во изработката на идеалниот борец.
