Tyron Woodley is yet to sign a fight that’s appealing to him. The former UFC welterweight champion has been eager to get a chance to fight since his retirement. Following his switch to the world of boxing, Woodley lost to Jake Paul in 2021 via a 6th-round knockout. Woodley has been calling out KSI now, with the fight far from getting finalized. ‘The Chosen One’ seems desperate to get his hands on an opponent in the ring. KSI’s recent first-round knockout win over Faze Temperrr has brought him into the limelight once again, with him wishing to fight anybody that is put in front of him next.

Woodley has had a remarkable UFC career, having defended his title successfully four times. His professional MMA record stands at 19 wins, 7 losses, and 1 draw. His highlight reel performances come against Robbie Lawler and Darren Till.

In a recent tweet, T-Wood called out KSI. The matchup of JJ and Tyron goes a while back, and Woodley has been bitter about it through it all. Following his loss to Jake Paul, Tyron Woodley had KSI as a suitable choice of opponent for his next fight. But before KSI Vs. Faze Temperr fixture, the event was going to be a double headliner. Tyron Woodley Vs. KSI and Logan Paul Vs Dillon Danis. But due to a knee injury, Logan Paul had to pull out of the fight. Since Logan pulled out, KSI changed his opponent and was scheduled to fight Dillion Danis instead. Unfortunately, Danis pulled out of the fight a week before the event. In all of this, Woodley was left stranded alone.

“The negotiation of the contract was very disrespectful, and it made me want to hurt him, So I told this to his manager. I was on a call with his manager, and I said, ‘Never in my life have I been disrespected like this in a contract,'” said Woodley in an interview with The MMA Hour. The former UFC champion added that he felt disrespected by the terms of the contract. KSI’s team wanted to add a rehydration clause which needed Woodley to get down to 175 pounds for the fight.
