An invitation from Jake Paul sparks Twitter spat between Tyron Woodley, KSI

Tyron Woodley is down to fight KSI.

The former UFC champion called the YouTuber to a fight after Jake Paul asked Woodley if he’d be interested in boxing KSI early next year. Woodley not only accepted the challenge, but told KSI to “quit sitting on a Kotex,” and that’s when the two began going back-and-forth on Twitter.

Tyron Woodley is coming off two straight losses in boxing matches against Jake Paul – one by decision and one by knockout. Prior to that, the 40-year-old found himself on a four-fight losing streak in MMA, which marked the final chapter of his run with the UFC.

Woodley is a former UFC welterweight champion. He defended the belt four times and had a reign from 2016 to 2018. Woodley has wins over notable talent such as Darren Till, Robbie Lawler, Stephen Thompson, Carlos Condit and more.

Meanwhile, KSI, an English YouTuber and rapper, is part of the recent wave of celebrity/influencer boxing. KSI has three professional boxing wins under his belt. He defeated Logan Paul in 2019 and defeated Swarmz and Luis Alcaraz Pineda on the same night last month in London.
