Tyron Woodley’s return to the boxing ring may have come as a surprise to the rest of us, but the UFC’s former welterweight champ claims he’s been preparing for a Jake Paul rematch since October. Woodley revealed on Instagram that the rematch was “supposed to happen”, and he took it upon himself to prepare early, just in case.
“I want to let you guys know I’m excited about this fight. I also want to let you guys know that something told me – end of September, beginning of October I told my boxing coach, ‘My spirit ain’t sitting right. The fight that’s supposed to happen is me and Jake.
Woodley Claims He’s Been Training for Jake Paul Since October, Pledges Knockout Win
This Tommy Fury fight doesn’t even make f*cking sense. Like, who gives a f*ck about that fight? Nobody do.’ I told my coach that and I didn’t just speak it and tell him that, I said, watch what I’m telling you.
I told my strength and conditioning coach and my boxing coach, ‘This fight ain’t gonna happen. Let’s train as if we are fighting for this f*cking fight.’ I flew him in from Miami – my strength and conditioning coach is already in St. Louis – and I literally started training.”
Woodley, despite losing their last fight via a controversial decision, claims his “spirit” is fully intact. Tyron Woodley is promising a finish this time around, to earn himself half a million dollars in a fight bonus. “One thing I know for sure, my spirit has never been f*cking wrong.
My intuition, my alignment, so when I got the call it was kind of funny, because sometimes people call you and they think you out of shape. They think you fat and they think you greasy and they think you not ready. I was ready and I’m so thankful.
“I’m f*cking in shape, I’m ready to f*cking go. I sparred 12 rounds the other day, I sparred 7 rounds last night around the same time I’m gonna fight, midnight-1 am. I’m f*cking excited and I’m thankful and I’m blessed. I’m blessed for the opportunity and I promise you, I didn’t even hesitate. That motherf*cker can say a lot of shit, if you ask the people, when they asked me, within moments, ‘Yes’ was the first thing that came out of my mouth. ‘What the f*ck you mean? Yeah.”
No doubt, no controversy, no bullsh*t, no shenanigans. He’s going. To. F*cking. Sleep. I promise you that.” Do you expect a different result time this around? Let us know in the comments.
