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. Michael Bisping just said on YouTube that Woodley made $8 million for the fight. 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 was also set to face off against Tommy Fury on December 18th after months of build up, but then Tomy Fury had to pull out of the match at the last minute, which led to a lot of frustration and disbelief. Thankfully, Tyron Woodley accepted a rematch on short notice and will now take Tommy Fury’s place in the boxing match later on this month.
According to BoxingScene.com,any previous request for the involvement of Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) is no longer in play for the December 18 Showtime Pay-Per-View event at AMALIE Arena in Tampa, Florida.
“VADA is not involved in any testing leading up to or for the December 18th Showtime PPV event,” Dr. Margaret Goodman, the International Boxing Hall-of-Fame-elected physician and founder and chairperson of VADA told BoxingScene.com.
