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 had been feuding with Tyson Fury’s younger brother Tommy Fury for the past few months as well. It ultimately resulted in a match between the two, which was going to take place on December 18th. However, Tommy Fury had to pull out from the boxing match due to a bacterial chest infection and a broken rib.
Instead of Tommy Fury, Jake Paul will now face off against Tyron Woodley, in a rematch from their August matchup.
Tommy Fury: “I am absolutely heartbroken that I have been forced to withdraw from my fight with Jake Paul due to a bacterial chest infection and broken rib. I really do hope we can get this fight rescheduled in the new year. I want this fight to still happen more than anything.”
