TAMPA (SNN-TV) – Jake Paul, the YouTube star-turned-prizefighter, will now fight former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in a boxing rematch December 18th in Tampa at Amalie Arena.
Tommy Fury, Paul’s scheduled opponent, withdrew from the bout due to a “severe chest infection and broken rib.”
Paul-Woodley 2 will be contested at 192 pounds over eight rounds, the same specifics of the originally planned bout with Fury.
Paul beat Woodley by split decision August 29th in Cleveland.
Amanda Serrano, the No. 3-ranked female boxer in the world, will continue to fight in the co-main event against Miriam Gutierrez.
A fight between NBA veteran Deron Williams and accomplished NFL running back Frank Gore will take place on the undercard.
