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.

Amanda Serrano vs Yamileth Mercado

Round Four

The distance is Mercado’s biggest problem. She hasn’t been able to fully connect with her overhead right. Serrano’s footwork has been good as has her jab. Mercado forces Serrano into the corner and lands a decent punch right on the bell.

Mercado’s eye is starting to shown signs of wear and tear.

John Fury: Daniel Dubois is not ready yet, has a lot to work on

“There's a lot to work on. Seasoned fighters will catch him, he got caught here. Let's not pick no bones, he's a boy, not a man.

“I'd keep him back until he's 27, 28, then let him go. Are they going to get carried away with Trevor Bryan? He's still a pup. Same with Tyson, we were never going to let him box for a title until he was 27.”
