Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2: UK start time, TV channel, live stream, undercard after Tommy Fury pulls out of fight

JAKE PAUL faces former UFC star Tyron Woodley TONIGHT in a huge rematch after Tommy Fury dropped out.

TNT had to withdraw after suffering a broken rib in training plus a bacterial chest infection, leaving the door open for YouTube star Paul to battle Woodley for a second time.

Tyron Woodley ROCKED Jake Paul in their first fight

The Problem Child defeated Woodley, 39, on points back in August, though question marks remain with Woodley rocking Paul for the first time in his career.

Paul, 24, 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.”

Tommy Fury says he still hopes the fight is on next year

Why did Tommy Fury pull out?

Brit star Fury, 22, withdrew 12 days before the fight after suffering with a bacterial chest infection AND a broken rib.

Fury said: “I am absolutely heartbroken that I have been forced to withdraw from my fight with Jake Paul due to a bacterial chest infection and broken rib.

“The beginning of my camp was going so incredibly and I never expected anything to come in my way from a victory on December 18.

“I can’t express now disappointed I am and I really do hope we can get this fight rescheduled in the new year.

“I want this fight to happen more than anything.”

Woodley has said: “I feel like I won the [first] fight.

“But when I go back out there and beat his a** and win this fight, win by knockout, then go on to a trilogy and do it again and leave no doubt.

“That’s the real leave no doubt… This is basically what I should have done the first time. The third time [there] will be no doubt.”
