We all know how much Floyd Mayweather dislikes Jake Paul. Well, he's making sure that Tyronn Woodley annihilates the Youtuber turned Boxer in their fight in August. That's right, Mayweather is training Woodley ahead of the highly anticipated bout. The former UFC star even took to social media to let everyone know that Floyd Mayweather is helping him prepare.

Who better to train Woodley than the arguably one of the best fighters to ever step in the ring? This fight between Paul and Woodley was announced just days before Floyd's exhibition match with Logan Paul and at the pre-fight press conference, Floyd Mayweather even said he wanted Woodley in his camp.
“Get me Tyron Woodley,” Floyd Mayweather told reporters then, via Boxing Junkie. “I’m gonna make sure I get him in camp, and I’m gonna train him for this fight. I want Tyron Woodley to come to Las Vegas and work with us.”
Woodley enjoyed a decent amount of success in the Octagon, defending his welterweight title three different times but eventually lost to current champion Kamaru Usman in 2019. His contract ran out with the UFC and he hasn't fought since. While his boxing experience is limited, Floyd Mayweather should be able to get him right in the next month and a half.
As for Jake Paul, this will be his fourth professional fight after knocking out Woodley's friend, former MMA fighter Ben Askren in March.
