YouTube and social media star, Jake Paul, continued his boxing career on Sunday as he faced former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland. This marked Woodley’s professional boxing debut, while Paul aimed to extend his winning streak to four.

Paul’s previous victories came against YouTube star AnEsonGib (aka Gib), former NBA player Nate Robinson, and former UFC fighter Ben Askren, who coincidentally is a friend of Woodley’s. Woodley, with an impressive UFC career, was expected to be Paul’s toughest challenge yet. He previously held the 170-pound title after defeating Robbie Lawler, defending it successfully four times. However, Woodley had recently suffered four consecutive losses in his final UFC fights, leading to the matchup with Paul.

In Woodley’s last MMA fight at UFC 260 on March 27, 2021, he faced a first-round submission defeat against Vicente Luque. On Sunday, Paul and Woodley went head-to-head for eight rounds, with Paul ultimately emerging as the victor via a split decision.

The fight between Paul and Woodley garnered significant attention on social media, capturing the interest and opinions of viewers worldwide. Leading up to the event, both fighters showcased their training and preparation, indicating that they would not hold back during the match.

The bout between Paul and Woodley was tightly contested and went the distance, concluding with Paul securing the win through a split decision. As with any closely fought match, controversy arose regarding the judgment and scoring. Consequently, discussions have emerged about the possibility of a rematch between the two fighters.
