From MMA to Boxing: Bio of the Chosen One

Woodley, nicknamed The Chosen One, was born on April 17, 1982. Currently 39, he is 5’9″ tall and has a reach of 74 inches. Although he doesn’t have a boxing record, his MMA record is 19-7 with seven knockouts.

It was in 2009 when Woodley started his professional MMA career. Several years later, in 2016, he became the UFC Welterweight Champion. Woodley defended that title four consecutive times, but then in 2019, lost it. In July of this year, ESPN revealed that although the upcoming fight would be Woodley’s first boxing fight, it certainly won’t be his last. Preparing for the fight, The Chosen One has been training with Floyd Mayweather Jr., as well as Pedro Diaz and Eric Brown.

Undoubtedly, Woodley’s significant MMA background will come in handy when he faces Paul. On the other hand, The Problem Child is younger than Woodley, which may also impact the result of the fight. Whatever the case is, the Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley fight on Sunday will be quite exciting.
