In August this year, Jake Paul locked horns with his toughest boxing opponent in Tyron Woodley. The pair gave in their absolute best, keeping fans at the edge of their seats. However, Woodley, the favorite, failed to turn the tide in his favor as he ended up losing the fight via a split decision.

With this, the ex-UFC elite’s very first pro-boxing bout turned out to be a bit embarrassing. Recently, Showtime released a documentary for the upcoming Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2. Here, ‘The Chosen One’ reflected on his loss to Paul and the decision given by the judges.

He said, “It haunts you when you feel like you want to fight. One judge said I won the fight, two judges decided that he won the fight. If you want to prove the naysayers wrong, this is your chance. I’m here, I’m ready, I saved this card.”
