The YouTuber turned professional boxer, Jake Paul faced off against the former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley on August 29 in a boxing match. The odds were in favor of Jake Paul even if Tyron Woodley is definitely the biggest opponent for Jake Paul so far. Dave Chapelle also went after Jake Paul at the pay-per-view.
Jake Paul proved all of his doubters wrong as he was able to last 8 rounds against Tyron Woodley, who many believed would destroy The Problem Child in the boxing match. Of course, that did not happen as Jake Paul went on to win the match via split decision. This was met with a lot of outcries as fans believed the boxing match was rigged from the start.
Jake Paul’s mother Pam said that Jake Paul was simply acting.
“Its a role, its like acting in a movie.”
During the post-fight press conference, Jake Paul took aim at his arch-nemesis, Conor McGregor, as he claimed that he sold more tickets than Conor McGregor did in his hometown with the whole backing of the UFC
“I sold more tickets than Conor McGregor did in his hometown with the whole backing of the UFC, in my fourth fight ever,” said Paul.
