      The blue touch paper for their fight was lit moments before Paul’s demolition of Woodley’s good friend Ben Askren in April.
      The pair were involved in a heated back-and-forth in the dressing room that left Woodley fuming.
      And their subsequent slanging match on social media has teed up the interesting grudge match, which, on paper, is the toughest fight of Paul’s young boxing career.
      Here’s everything you need to know about the pair’s upcoming bout:

      Anthony Taylor: “I think it’s a disrespect to the sport, in my eyes and to many people’s eyes that understand boxing.
      “He’s not a boxer. A boxer does not fight guys with ten wins and 126 losses. I can see if he fought a guy that was 1-2, 2-1, 3-3, 4-5, OK, 7-4.
      “I can see if you fought those type of opponents with those records, then people can say, ‘OK, you’re actually not bad’.
