Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley: YouTuber secures controversial split decision victory

YouTube star Jake Paul outpointed UFC champion Tyron Woodley to remain unbeaten and move to 4-0 as a professional boxer.

The favourite going into the fight, Paul was the busier boxer, according to the stats, and managed to convince two of the judges - whose scorecards have now been revealed.

Paul did have to weather a storm in the fourth round when he was stunned by a looping right hand by Woodley.

But in truth, Woodley failed to capitalise and his cautious approach cost him a genuine chance of winning the fight.

Woodley then demanded a rematch once the official decision had been read, with Paul offering him terms centred around a tattoo to roll it back for a second fight.

Here’s all the latest updates and reaction following the big fight and what comes next.

Jake Paul aiming high

“When I started boxing, I didn’t think I’d be here this fast,” Paul said. “My original goal was to fight Conor McGregor or Floyd Mayweather, because I knew I would have a big enough pay-per-view draw to do those things.

“Now I want to become world champion. I want to fight and beat Canelo Alvarez. This has been a fast, quick roller coaster ride, but I didn’t expect to be here. I just knew I loved fighting and I knew I was good at it.”

John Fury on Jake Paul

“Let’s make no mistake here, there’s a lot better fighters out there than Jake Paul and we don’t even know their names,” John told BT Sport.

“But, they haven’t got what he’s got. Charisma, brains and a selling point of millions of Instagram followers.

“This kid is going to be a sensation in the field he’s in and you can only admire him for what he’s done.

“He’s brought a new wave and a new audience to everything and he’s taken it to a new level, this kid. I’m intrigued where he is going to go with it. A long ways up for him.”

The main event is up next.

Amanda Serrano vs Yamileth Mercado

A clinical and professional performance from Serrano. She took her time, targeted the body and waited for the later rounds before unleashing a number of combinations to pummel Mercado into submission.

Those final two rounds were painful.

No surprises to hear that she’s awarded the victory by unanimous decision.

Round Seven

Serrano has never been floored as a professional boxer. If Mercado is going to win this fight she’ll need to do something that hasn’t been done before.

It’s Mercado’s best round but Serrano hurts her with a hit to the body and follows it up with a straight right to the face. The bell goes to stifle Serrano’s attack.

Round Six

Mercado is desperately trying to move away from the ropes but she doesn’t have the power to shift Serrano who hits her with a left-right body combo. It’s brave work from the Mexican though who keeps coming and puts in a better showing with left hook that connects. It might not be enough to win the round though.
