After extending his perfect record to five wins, Jake Paul dubbed his sixth-round knockout of Tyron Woodley “the moment of my life.”
After a points victory in August, the YouTube personality, 24, defeated the ex-UFC champion for the second time in four months.
Tommy Fury, the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, backed out of the bout earlier this month due to a rib ailment and illness.
The crowd booed during the first five rounds, which were uneventful.
After knocking out 39-year-old Woodley in Tampa, Florida, Paul stated, “This guy is a legend, and respect to him for taking the fight on two weeks’ notice.”
“It was a tough fight. I had blood in my eyes. I had the job done. I was setting the punch up the whole fight. He didn’t see it coming. Like a lumberjack, timber. It’s got to be the moment of my life.”
Paul also called out Fury for withdrawing from their match.
