He then went on to mention the names of the athletes.

Paul is coming off a knockout victory over Ben Askren in April 2021. He had little to no trouble seeing off the former MMA star, finishing him off in less than 100 seconds. The YouTuber is currently 3-0 in his professional boxing career, and will be looking forward to beating Woodley as well.

Woodley, on the other hand, will be making his professional boxing debut against Paul. He last fought in the UFC, in March 2021, against Vicente Luque. Woodley lost the fight due to submission.
