YouTube personality Jake Paul has taken to boxing lately. He has beaten former NBA standout Nate Robinson and ex-Mizzou wrestler/MMA fighter Ben Askren.

Now, according to reports on Monday, Paul has his next opponent in mind, and it is another former Missouri Tiger.

Tyron Woodley, a former UFC champion and ex-Mizzou wrestler, have reportedly agreed to a boxing match, per reporter Mike Coppinger. It will be part of a multi-fight contract Paul has with Showtime:
