Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, who faced Paul twice in the octagon, offered a different perspective. On the Ariel Helwani Show, Woodley suggested that Paul’s unique attributes could give him a real opportunity.

“I mean, Jake has been lost his mind. Like, what’s new. He lost his mind when he fought me. He lost his mind when he fought Anderson [Silva], when he fought Nate [Diaz]. He lost his mind when he wanted to fight professionally and switched off from amateurs. It’s really kind of been his theme,” Woodley said.

Could Jake Paul find a way against Anthony Joshua?

Woodley emphasized that the outcome depends on Joshua’s approach. “Depending on what version of Anthony Joshua comes out depends on if Jake has what we’ll call a ‘chance.‘ When you’re fighting, if you’ve got knockout power, you’ve got belief in yourself, you got some speed, some agility to move around, you always have a chance. We’ve seen crazier things happen,” he said.

Reflecting on Joshua’s recent bouts, Woodley dismissed comparisons to Francis Ngannou. “Francis Ngannou is a terrible comparison to ‘this happened to Francis.’ He’s not even built the same as Jake. I’d say Jake’s a little bit faster than him. He (Ngannou) has more power, but he’s slower in distributing that power,” Woodley explained.

“I don’t think this fight is even. I think that Anthony Joshua is a better boxer. I think he has more power, but I don’t think there’s no chance Jake can win,” Woodley added. “I feel like if Anthony doesn’t stop him in the first two rounds, I feel like he’s going to give Jake confidence and I think it’s going to be a decision.”

Paul’s adaptability could be key

Woodley also praised Paul’s adaptability. “He’s a great boxer. He’s got good power. He was always like the little point guard that was a heavyweight. I don’t know why Jake wanted that fight. I don’t know what’s going through his head, but he’s always got something up his sleeve.”

Popular youtuber Jake Paul puts his gloves back on for a rematch against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. The Youtube star comes in with a 4-0 boxing record with 3 KOs.
