Tyron Woodley to train with Floyd Mayweather ahead of fight with Jake Paul Instagram, @twooodley, @floydmayweather, @jakepaulUFC star Tyron Woodley has happily accepted boxing legend Floyd Mayweather\u2019s offer to train ahead of his fight against YouTuber Jake Paul. Tyron Woodley is a former UFC Welterweight Champion, who held the belt for about three years before finally losing it to Kamaru Usman in his fifth title defense. An understandably renowned fighter, many are rooting for the 39-year-old to end Jake Paul\u2019s undefeated boxing streak on August 28. One such person rooting for Woodley is Floyd Mayweather Jr., one of the greatest boxers of all time and the opponent for Jake\u2019s older brother, Logan, on June 6. After Mayweather mentioned to reporters that he would like to help Woodley train to defeat Jake, the latter has told media that the camp is real and \u201cdefinitely\u201d going to happen. Calling Floyd \u201cthe greatest boxer of all time,\u201d Woodley appears ready to learn from the 50-0 legend. https:\/\/twitter.com\/sftynetwork\/status\/1400603621415337985?s=21 \u201cGive me Tyron Woodley. I\u2019m gonna make sure I get in camp and I\u2019m gonna train him for this fight.\u201d As Mayweather told media, he not only expects Woodley to defeat the 24-year-old Jake, but he wants to help him train to do so. Undefeated in the ring, Mayweather is obviously a strong presence to learn from \u2014 even as some question the 44-year-old\u2019s ability to beat the 26-year-old Logan. Like Woodley, Mayweather is decades older, inches shorter, and pounds lighter than his opponent. He\u2019s also, like Woodley, much more experienced in combat sports. The parallels are there and the MMA fighter seems eager to accept the boxer\u2019s training offer. Talking to reporters, Woodley confirmed that the Mayweather camp is a certainty: \u201cI just talked to him today. For sure, why would I not train with the greatest boxer of all-time? He\u2019s already my dog. We\u2019ve been talking about training anyways, so for sure, definitely going to take him up on that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
