Tyron Woodley is intimately familiar with the world of influencer boxing. On top of his lauded career as a four-time UFC champ, he\u2019s taken on one of the net\u2019s biggest stars in the boxing ring two times: Jake Paul. Paul won their first match by split-decision in August 2021, and the two touched gloves once again later that year for a rematch that Jake took by knockout in the sixth round. After defeating Tyron Woodley twice over, Paul struggled to lock down an opponent in 2022, but finally signed a contract to box MMA legend Anderson Silva this October, despite having his eyes set on KSI. KSI has also recently gotten back into the boxing ring, defeating British rapper Swarmz and Mexican pro boxer Luis Pindea in a single night\u2026 but fans want him to take on Tyron Woodley next. On September 14, KSI published a poll asking his fans who he should pick for his next bout, providing options between Woodley, mixed martial artist Dillon Danis, YouTube-boxer Slim Albaher, and influencer-boxer-licensed doctor, Doctor Mike. Woodley came out on top with 38% of the votes. Jake Paul brought up KSI\u2019s poll during a September 29 episode of his \u2018BS\u2019 podcast, which featured Woodley as a celebrity guest. After discussing the results of the poll, Woodley couldn\u2019t help but officially put KSI up to the test. Tyron Woodley challenges KSI to boxing match: \u201cSign the paperwork\u201d \u201cI was the most voted? He gotta fight me then,\u201d he challenged. \u201cIf he got a lot of votes on it, and he put it out there to see\u2026 I mean, I can do that and get away with it, but you guys can\u2019t, because y\u2019all whole s**t is like, \u2018I won\u2019t do this. I bet you I will f**king do it,\u2019 right? You gotta put yourself out there because it\u2019s kinda the world y\u2019all live in.\u201d \u201cIf he put a whole poll out, and everybody wants to see me fight him, then why would you put the poll out and not fight?\u201d he asked. \u201cSign the paperwork. It\u2019s easy for me.\u201d (Topic begins at 24:45) This isn\u2019t the first time Tyron and KSI have clashed; the two lashed out at each other on Twitter after Jake urged KSI to fight Tyron earlier this month, with KSI joking that Jake had Tyron \u201con a leash.\u201d For now, it\u2019s unclear who KSI will be facing off with next \u2014 but if his current feud with Dillon Danis is anything to go by, it\u2019s looking like a bout between these two stars is most likely to happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyron Woodley urges KSI accept poll results for next boxing opponent and fight him YouTube: BS w\/ Jake PaulFormer UFC champ Tyron Woodley has called out YouTube star KSI for a boxing match after the influencer created a poll asking fans who he should fight next \u2014 and Tyron came out on top.
