Jake Paul Pays Tribute to Cleveland Cavaliers During Fight Against Tyron Woodley
Recently, YouTube sensation, Jake Paul has made some big moves for his career. Once, a youtuber, he has now built his reputation as a boxer. Moreover, he is now fighting former UFC champion, Tyron Woodley.
Paul took boxing seriously after his first fight against fellow youtuber ‘Deji’. Since then the 24 YO has fought some big names. Notably, he even fought dunk champion, Nate Robinson and beat him via a knockout.
Now, fighting a serious powerhouse in Tyron Woodley, Paul is as confident as ever. Walking into the ring, Paul made sure to give tribute to his city.

Jake Paul gives Tribute to All Cleveland Teams
24 YO Jake has had a wild journey so far. He went from one of the biggest names in YouTube to now being a successful pro boxer. In his ring walk into the main event, he wore a jacket with the logos of all Cleveland teams on it.

This is because Paul is an Ohio native himself. He spent his childhood living in the city of Cleveland and took his chance to honor it. He has teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Ohio State, Cleveland Browns and others.
The ‘Problem Child’ is undefeated in the boxing ring and will hope to keep a clean record going into the main event. However, it is far from an easy job. He is going up against former UFC Welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley.
But how did this rivalry begin in the first place?
How did this Fight take Place?
It all started when Jake Paul fought Ben Askren. Woodley came in as Ben’s friend and was a part of his team. Just before the fight Woodley went into Jake’s locker to check the wrapping of gloves. This is where things got heated.

Woodley and Paul’s trainer went to a war of words. Paul’s trainer told Woodley that he does not know anything about boxing gloves and the UFC fighter was quick to respond. Moreover, Jake Paul even asked him to bet on the fight as Woodley came in as a Ben Askren supporter.
This is what gave rise to Jake vs Tyron. This is by far the toughest test for Jake as the UFC fighter has serious knockout power.
