Boxer KSI and Alex Wassabi were scheduled to fight on August 27 at The O2 in London. However, as per recent reports, Wassabi sustained a concussion and hence, the event is in jeopardy.
Tyron Woodley is ready to step up and replace Wassabi in the match. The ex-UFC fighter shared a poster of him and KSI on his Instagram story and wrote, “Let’s Talk”, “since he always has something to say”.
In the next story, the fighter shared a screenshot of the message he got to step in on short notice. ‘The Chosen One’ agreed. Thus, if KSI versus Woodley takes place, the latter will have had only three weeks to prepare for the match.

However, Jake Paul has been taking digs at the fellow YouTuber-turned-boxer. He too has offered to step in and fight KSI and they have had a lot of back and forth.
Heard that Alex is out bc of a concussion. Fucked up. This was a big opportunity for Alex. He will be back.
KSI… everything happens for a reason. I’ll come fight in your hometown. Your boxing company. You are A-Side.
I also agree to make 180 pounds for August 27.

The British athlete made his boxing debut against Logan Paul in 2019 and won through a split decision. After defeating the older brother, it would be interesting to see if he could break Jake Paul’s win streak. Paul has remained undefeated and has won most of his fights through a T/KO.
With Woodley also willing to get into the ring, combat fans are ready to see what ensues ahead.
Should Tyron Woodley take up a short-notice boxing match?
Woodley and Paul first faced each other in 2021, where the latter won through a split decision. Next, he was supposed to face Tommy Fury. Unfortunately, the fight fell apart as Fury had to pull out owing to an injury.

That’s when Woodley stepped in as a replacement. ‘The Problem Child’ showed Woodley respect for stepping in on short notice but obliterated him in the ring. Hence, yet another short-notice fight could be a risk.
