JAKE PAUL will pay homage to his boyhood NFL club Cleveland Browns when he fights Tyron Woodley.
Paul is set to face the ex-UFC champion in a pair of orange, brown and white Grant gloves, the colours of American football side Cleveland Browns.
For his three prior professional bouts, he has also worn Grants, the popular US glove brand used by many top fighters worldwide.
Paul, 24, will headline against Woodley, 39, in a homecoming in Ohio, at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, where NBA team Cleveland Cavaliers play.

Paul comes into the fight with three wins in as many fights, all by knockout.
But so far he has faced only online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.
His return against Woodley will provide the biggest challenge in Paul’s boxing career to date.
Nevertheless, the social media sensation has predicted a sensational first-round KO.
Paul told Sky Sports: “Honestly after this camp, I said three [rounds] and now I’m thinking, max two.
“But to be honest, something in my heart tells me that it’s going to be another one round fight.
“As crazy as that sounds. I think it’s going to be a very short night for Tyron.”
