The recently concluded second bout between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley also ended in Jake’s favor. The 24-year-old Ohio native now has 5 professional victories under his name. He started his pro-boxing career by defeating a fellow YouTuber, named AnEsonGib.
‘The Problem Child’ then went on to increase the difficulty level for every fight he booked. Paul viciously knocked out former pro-NBA star Nate Robinson at the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. exhibition match. Furthermore, after some back-and-forth on social media, Ben Askren fought Jake Paul.
However, the former Bellator MMA and ONE Welterweight Champion met the same fate as Nate and got TKO’d in under 2 minutes in the very first round. Furthermore, Askren’s long–time teammate Tyron Woodley stepped up to settle the score with Paul. However, after a good performance, Woodley lost via a split decision.
