Now, we are able to throw former Final Combating Championship (UFC) Welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley, into the combination of fighters who need to struggle the Filipino icon.
“@mannypacquiao we been f—king round with these numbers for 2 months,” Woodley mentioned on Instagram. “Are we preventing or what!? You appearing like Floyd [Mayweather] and KSI! [hat emoji] itslizing on Clout [facepalm emoji] SMH”
Woodley, 41, ventured into the world of boxing when he fought Jake Paul twice in 2021. Sadly for “The Chosen One,” he misplaced the primary bout by way of a break up resolution earlier than he suffered a sixth spherical knockout of their rematch (watch highlights).
