According to reports, Jake Paul received $690,000 for his fight against Ben Askren. After his last fight was promoted by Triller, Paul inked a multi-fight deal with Showtime Sports with his matchup with Woodley expected to serve as the first bout on that contract.

Paul is 3-0 in his professional boxing career and all of his victories have come by way of KO or TKO. The 24-year-old has been getting under the skin of just about everybody in both the boxing and MMA worlds. His last fight saw him knock out former MMA star Ben Askren, something that elevated his profile inside the ring enormously and Paul has been calling out just about anybody that will listen.

Meanwhile, Woodley will make his pro-boxing debut after spending twelve years fighting in the cage. The 39-year-old is on a four-fight skid since dropping the UFC welterweight title to Kamaru Usman in 2019. His last fight came in March at UFC 260, where he suffered his fourth consecutive loss in the Octagon.
