‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul revived his knockout streak by earning a highlight-reel stoppage over the ex-UFC champion, Tyron Woodley. He bagged this emphatic win in Miami on December 18, 2021. It was his fifth professional win and the fourth via knockout. That said, Woodley is also the only man to have dragged Paul to the distance when they locked horns for the first time in August of last year.

Woodley put on a commendable show and battered his young rival to an extent. Well, Jake Paul settled all odds in the re-match and silenced his critics by putting ‘The Chosen One’ to sleep in the second fight. It was a monumental achievement of his career and a ticket to bag bigger matchups ahead. Meanwhile, Jake Paul has already sent a subtle warning to his next opponent, as he doesn’t intend to lose his KO-streak any further.

Paul is yet to announce his next fight, as he has teased several possibilities already. He has flirted with the chances of stepping inside the MMA cage and sent several fans into a frenzy after calling out former UFC champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov. Besides, he was in active talks to face former world champion boxer, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

While Paul’s in-ring career continues to offer him so much, the youngster has also outlined some plans outside the ring.
