Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley: YouTuber secures controversial split decision victory

YouTube star Jake Paul outpointed UFC champion Tyron Woodley to remain unbeaten and move to 4-0 as a professional boxer.

The favourite going into the fight, Paul was the busier boxer, according to the stats, and managed to convince two of the judges - whose scorecards have now been revealed.

Paul did have to weather a storm in the fourth round when he was stunned by a looping right hand by Woodley.

But in truth, Woodley failed to capitalise and his cautious approach cost him a genuine chance of winning the fight.

Woodley then demanded a rematch once the official decision had been read, with Paul offering him terms centred around a tattoo to roll it back for a second fight.

Here’s all the latest updates and reaction following the big fight and what comes next.

Jake Paul reveals key to agreeing Tommy Fury fight

“The guy had nothing to say, he had a mediocre performance against my sparring partner.

“Tommy Fury is meant to be this big tough guy, I got into his face and let him talk.

“I hired him to be here and gave him an opportunity to shine.

“Will we see that fight? I’ll run that s*** easy, that’s an easier fight that Tyron.

“If he sold a lot of PPVs in the UK, and we're impressed with the numbers, then sure, but I put him on this platform, so we'll see what happens."

“I learned a lot. The first time I went past four minutes.”
