While speaking to Sky Sports Boxing, Jake Paul stated that he had gotten better with each passing round so far in sparring. Acknowledging that the world is yet to see him past the third round, the 3-0 boxer claimed to be significantly more dangerous in the latter half of a fight. In conversation with Andy Scott, Jake Paul said:
Paul continued to say that he hasn’t yet been hit in a fight, which he finds amusing.
Jake Paul said he hopes Tyron Woodley can connect with some of his shots.

Jake Paul is yet to have a fight go past two rounds
‘The Problem Child’ has had three professional outings as a boxer thus far, all of which have ended via knockout, bringing his record to 3-0. However, Jake Paul’s biggest criticism has been his choice of opponents.
He first fought fellow YouTuber AnAeson Gib, then former basketball player Nate Robinson, and in his most recent outing, faced former MMA fighter Ben Askren. While Askren became the first combat sports athlete to be defeated by Paul, many denied the YouTuber any notoriety because ‘Funky’ is a wrestler with weak striking skills.
Jake Paul finished Gib and Askren in the first round and finished Robinson in the second round. The world is yet to see him enter the later stages of a fight. Tyron Woodley should perhaps help that cause, being Jake Paul’s toughest test to date.
While Woodley also hails from a wrestling background, he’s a former UFC welterweight champion with dynamite in his hands. It will be interesting to see if Jake Paul can live up to his claims of getting better as the fight progresses.
