In addition, Showtime also announced that Amanda Serrano will defend her WBC and WBO featherweight titles against super bantamweight world champion Yamileth Mercado.
Paul will look to improve his pro boxing record to 4-0 when he faces the former UFC welterweight champion. The YouTube star gained a lot of traction with his last two performances, a pair of knockouts against former NBA guard Nate Robinson and former UFC, ONE, and Bellator fighter Ben Askren. Paul’s promotion company, Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, will co-produce the event.
Woodley makes his pro boxing debut and makes his first competitive appearance since parting ways with the UFC following his fourth consecutive loss to Vicente Luque at UFC 260 in March. “The Chosen One” called for the fight after Paul defeated his teammate in Askren in April.
