“I think (I will knock him out) in the third round. In the first round everyone will tell him to cover up, hold the pressure and keep me away. Stay at a distance and be careful with my right hand. I have to define some strategies and I may need one or two rounds to do so. See what he answers me and then I’ll be able to sort everything out,” Tyron promised.
Additionally, Woodley stated that he wants to face Jake's brother, Logan Paul, next. The YouTuber gained great notoriety after facing off against Floyd Mayweather in his last appearance.
“He’s going to get beaten up and knocked out. I'm surprised he agreed to face me. His people are lying, saying that he can beat me, that he has power, he's younger, that I haven't beaten me in a year. They are lying to the boy. What will happen is that I will win, knock him out and, hopefully, he will want the rematch and I will get the money again. I want to rob the bank twice. I have no problem with Logan (Paul), but after seeing what I do to his brother, he might want those hands too.”
The duel against youtuber will mark the first appearance of the former Ultimate leader after the athlete left the organization. In MMA, Woodley's moment is not the best. The fighter hasn't won in four fights and, in his last challenge, he ended up submitted by Vincent Luque.
