Woodley took to his Instagram account and posted a series of snaps from his match against Paul. He spoke about the drug test results which never came despite he was tested backstage. Here is what he wrote:
“Thanks for all the support. Really appreciate the love. Let’s talk🤔. Ropes can keep you up and NO DRUG TEST?🧐 TF they take my pee for in the back. Run it back! @davechappelle Said so! Shit seem fishy in Cleveland. Let’s run it in St. Louis.”

Speaking about the split decision victory given to Jake Paul by the judges, Claressa Shields refused to accept that it was as close a fight as the scorecard makes it look.
“It wasn’t no close fight to me. I thought Tyron Woodley clearly won,” she said.
In an interview with the media following the event, the decorated boxer stated that even though Jake Paul is surely doing a great thing for boxing by bringing fame and money to the sport, he did not do enough to take home the win on Sunday night.
“What the hell did Jake Paul do? Did he hurt Woodley? He ran around the ring. He backed up the whole time. He didn’t win the fight. But it’s a business. He bringing a lot of his fans. He’s doing a great thing for boxing. They’re gonna have a rematch. But Tyron Woodley definitely earned the win tonight in my eyes,” Claressa Shields said.
Woodley won. Not arguing with y’all delusional mfs tonight.
