Former UFC champion Tyron Woodley has received a challenge for a match on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson from another former UFC fighter.
Despite the 31-year age gap between them, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have confirmed that they will indeed be fighting each other this summer. This announcement has been met with a lot of scrutiny, as Tyson, who will be 58 at the time of the fight, will be facing a much younger opponent.
The duo has recently reiterated their agreement on certain regulations for the upcoming fight, such as it being a professional bout with the use of heavier gloves. Additionally, there have been further details confirmed regarding the undercard.
UFC champion Jose Aldo recently announced that he was offered a fight against Neeraj Goyat, who is also one of Jake’s competitors. However, the fight has been canceled.
‘Former UFC fighter ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry has issued a challenge to Tyron Woodley, proposing a potential showdown on the July undercard.’
“Perry took to Twitter on May 19 to challenge @TWooodley, urging him to redeem himself in a boxing match on the upcoming @netflix card. Meanwhile, as Tyson playfully mocked some of Jake’s past opponents as “little children,”the tension between Perry and @TWooodley continued to escalate.”

As previously mentioned, the undercard for the Paul vs Tyson fight is beginning to come together. Amanda Serrano, a member of Jake’s Most Valuable Promotions, is set to face off against Katie Taylor in the co-main event. Additionally, undefeated fighter Floyd Schofield will take on MVP prospect Ashton Slyve on the same card.
Darren Till has been scheduled to participate in UFC-inspired fights. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr was initially offered a match against Mike Perry, and although Chavez Jr expressed dissatisfaction with the pay, he stated that he was still interested in being a part of the event.
Despite calling out Woodley, it is uncertain whether he will actually fight as he still appears to have interest in being on the card.
