Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2: TV channel, live stream, UK start time, undercard after Tommy Fury pulls put
TOMMY FURY is OUT and Tyron Woodley is IN for Jake Paul’s December fight.
TNT had to withdraw after suffering broken ribs in training plus a bacterial chest infection, leaving the door open for YouTube star Paul to rematch against former UFC fighter Woodley.
Tyron Woodley ROCKED Jake Paul in their first fight
The Problem Child defeated Woodley on points back in August, though questions marks remain with Woodley rocking Paul for the first time in his career.
Paul said: “For me, the biggest thing to gain is proving people wrong from last time that thought he won, which is hilarious – including the judge who made it a split decision.
“People just need to realise how serious I take this and how a lot of these other professional fighters don’t train as hard as me.
“They’re not as prepared as me. And like, Tommy Fury, he pulled out of the fight because of some silly, little thing. I’ve fought with a broken nose. I’ve fought sick. The list goes on.

“Last fight, against Tyron, I had a hyperextended elbow. I didn’t say anything. Why? Because it doesn’t matter. I’m still going to go in there and find a way to win. That’s my motivation, is win.”
