Jake Paul inks a fight

Jake Paul has injected life into the sport of boxing and striking sports.  After his dominant KO of former UFC champion Ben Askren, Jake has just inked a deal with Showtime Sports and UFC stud Tyron Woodley.  Some seem to think this is the opponent that Jake needs to validate his name, whereas Woodley just wants to end the nonsense of Jake Paul in striking sports period.  Jake now 3-0 in competition and Woodley 19-7-1 in his career.

Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley is a done deal and both have signed, first reported by The Athletic and confirmed to @arielhelwani.

The 190-pound match is currently slated for August 28, sources say. pic.twitter.com/NL8WItaaXr
