Tyron Woodley never stopped training. Ever since they finalized the Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul fight, ‘The Chosen One’ had a feeling the fight would not take place. As his intuition turned out to be true, he was primed and ready to step in and replace ‘TNT”, who withdrew due to a lung infection and a broken rib.
In an Instagram live, Woodley revealed how he always knew that they were not going to go through with the fight. Woodley felt him fighting Jake Paul was the only fight to make, as no one wanted to see Paul battle Tommy Fury.
“I told my strength and conditioning coach and I told my boxing coach and I said, this fight ain’t gonna happen.”

Woodley continued, “I said, let’s train as if we are fighting for this f****ng fight. I flew him in from Miami and my strength and conditioning coach was already obviously in St. Louis and I literally started training.”
He also credited his spirit and intuition, saying, “Coz one thing I know for sure is my spirit has never been f***ing wrong. My intuition, my alignment.”
