The Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley II fight will take place on December 18 in Tampa, Florida. The scheduled opponent for that match, Tommy Fury, withdrew because of a broken rib and a severe chest infection. The Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley II fight involves the YouTube star-turned-fighter Jake Paul and the former UFC champion Tyron Woodley. The Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley II fight will occur over seven rounds at 192 pounds. These are the exact specifics of the initially planned match with Fury. In the previous fight between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley, the former was the victor by a split decision in Cleveland. There was some controversy after that match. Woodley and Paul agreed in the ring after the match to have a rematch if Woodley got a new tattoo on his body that spelled out "I love Jake Paul."
Woodley obtained the tattoo on his middle finger a few months ago. At that time, Paul said that the boxer was too late and that he was going on to the next fight. Subsequently, it was announced that Paul would fight against Tommy Fury. Woodley is a heralded former UFC welterweight champ. He had continued training under the likelihood of competing again in MMA or boxing early next year. Jake Paul's adviser Bidarian has co-founded Most Valuable Promotions with Paul. He said that he spoke with Woodley recently. Jake Paul found out the news regarding the withdrawal of Tommy pretty late, and the deal with Woodley was finalized by that night. Bijdarian mentioned that Woodley would get a half a million dollars bonus if he could knock out Jake Paul. This is to shut down rumors that Jake Paul has put a no-knockout clause in his contracts.
Jake Paul said, "I'd like to see him have to fight 20 more times to even get the same payday he was gonna get vs. me. Sorry, Tommy, it's not gonna happen. It's just annoying that I even gave these buffoons a chance, and they let us down. ... Fighters fight with injuries all the time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a lot of times when big fights like these don't happen, they may never happen because of the trajectories of people's careers or whatever it might be. It's upsetting, and it's embarrassing for the Furys. They're boxing's biggest b----es right now. The show must go on. I am responsible for the fans who bought tickets, who want to see me fight this year. I am accountable to the fighters on the undercard who are counting on this payday. I was like, give me anybody, let's make it happen. Tyron Woodley just so happened to step up to the plate.”
“The rematch, it always made sense. It didn't make as much sense as me fighting Tommy Fury then and there. [Woodley is] ready, and he did get the tattoo. He was the only one on the list that can sell pay-per-views. I can't just go in there and fight some journeymen like most boxers do. The goal is going to be to knock him out. After that, I will be able to say I have knocked out every single person that I've fought."

He said, "I can't express how disappointed I am, and I really do hope we can get this fight rescheduled in the new year. I want this fight to still happen more than anything."
