Who is Jake Paul boxing next?
Jake Paul is scheduled to face Tyron Woodley in a highly anticipated rematch on December 18 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. Paul was initially scheduled to headline the event against Tyson Fury's half-brother Tommy Fury.

Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul previously met in August in Paul's hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. While Woodley made his professional boxing debut against Paul, 'The Problem Child' went in with a perfect 3-0 record. T-Wood came up short against Jake Paul despite knocking him against the ropes. Paul continued his unbeaten streak with a controversial split decision victory.
The fight also included a weird bet wherein the loser would have to get a tattoo saying 'I love X', X being the winner. While Tyron Woodley called for an immediate rematch, Jake Paul would only grant him one if he followed through with the bet. After a month of negotiations, Woodley finally got the tattoo done only to find that Paul had moved on.
By then Jake Paul was already in talks with Tommy Fury, who also boasts an undefeated record. However, Tyron Woodley will finally get a chance to avenge his loss due to a surprising turn of events.
