Jake Paul has successfully established himself as one of the biggest stars in the world of boxing. The YouTuber-turned-boxer played his cards correctly and managed to create a following for himself by beating up UFC veterans. One of them was Tyron Woodley, who was the second big name who got knocked out by Paul.
Jake Paul is currently gearing up for his much-anticipated boxing bout against the legendary Mike Tyson. The fight will stream on Netflix and is scheduled to take place on November 15th at the AT&T Stadium. Ahead of the fight, a video is going viral of a random individual who claimed to be Woodley’s cousin. In the video, he accused Paul of paying his opponents to take the fall.
If it’s paid off, Jake Paul. If not, Mike Tyson is gonna knock him out… Tyron Woodley is my literal f**king cousin, my name is Julian Woodley so I know for a fact that that motherf**ker got paid to take the fall.

Woodley shared the clip on his X account and brutally rejected any relationship with the individual, “Ni**a wish he was my kinfolk.” It was a hilarious interview and fans loved the unfazed confidence of the individual who made the ridiculous claim. It was truly a classic internet moment for all the fight fans.

Paul and Woodley fought each other twice, and the ‘Problem Child’ won twice. The first bout was close with Paul winning via split decision. However, the second one ended with a brutal KO. Woodley never claimed that he was paid for deliberately losing, instead giving Paul the credit for the punch.

Paul managed to drop all his opponents in these fights. During his podcast with Jake Paul, Woodley talked about the KO loss and was quite honest about it.
It was f***** hard a** punch. I feel like I was winning most of the fight….I dropped my hands at the same time you threw a bomb.

The only time Paul has fought a fighter of his similar size and record, he lost the bout against Tommy Fury via split decision. The pair are now talking about potentially participating in a MMA bout. However, before that, Paul has to worry about fighting Mike Tyson later this year.
