Fate has given Tyron Woodley a second chance to redeem himself. The Chosen One will fight YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul for a rematch. Jake Paul originally planned to fight British professional boxer, Tommy Fury.
Additionally, Tyson Fury, the heavyweight boxing world champion, is Tommy’s elder half-brother. Tommy reportedly suffered from a severe chest infection and a broken rib that led him to pull out of the match. Organizers quickly appointed Woodley at brief notice as the replacement.
In the first matchup, Tyron had an opportunity to finish Jake, but he seemed hesitant. This led to Jake defeating the former UFC champion. Paul currently has won all of his 4 fights.
