When is the Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley fight happening?

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is set to face former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley on August 28th, 2021, in a boxing match. The bout will be contested under the Showtime banner and will mark the fourth pro-boxing outing for the younger Paul brother.

Although the venue for the mega-clash hasn't been announced yet, many have speculated that Paul vs. Woodley will likely go down in Miami, Florida. According to The Sun, promoters of the event are also considering the fight capital of the world, Las Vegas.

One half of the forthcoming blockbuster affair, Tyron Woodley, recently unveiled a poster for the bout via Instagram:

Much has been made of the Paul brothers disrupting the combat sports world with their antics. However, owing to their social media influence, the boxing duo has raked in millions through pay-per-view buys. By drawing more eyes to professional boxing than ever, Jake and Logan Paul have certainly elevated the sport monetarily.

Speaking of Tyron Woodley's massive payday for the forthcoming event, Malki Kawa (First Round Management) said:

"Yeah, he's getting paid really well. It's one of the best deals I've ever done. It's a tremendous deal. He's getting a large base number, he's getting a cut of the pay-per-view globally. He should walk away with a multi-million dollar payday. His base guarantee is in the millions already, but add on all the other extra stuff, it's a really nice payday."
