However, he had to withdraw from the bout following a nasty rib injury. As a result, Jake Paul had to go up against Tyron Woodley for the second time.
Later in 2022, Paul (6-0) and the younger Fury were set to fight again on August 6, 2022. However, due to Tyson Fury’s involvement with the Irish Cartel leader, TNT was denied US entry. This resulted in yet another cancellation of the longstanding bout.
