Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley LIVE: Latest updates and result as YouTuber edges former UFC champion
Follow all reaction to an action-packed night of boxing in Cleveland, Ohio
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.
