Tyron Woodley believes he is a bigger draw than Tommy Fury as he prepares to fight Jake Paul on December 18.
The pair will meet for their rematch at Tampa, Florida after the Love Island star pulled out with a bacterial chest infection and a broken rib. Woodley had been in training and was ready to step in as a replacement.
Paul and Woodley fought three months ago with the former UFC champion proving to be Paul’s toughest opponent yet, pushing him all the way over eight rounds, then losing by split decision.
Woodley believes that Fury is much less of a draw than his older brother, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
"Nobody wants to see no f—ing Tommy Fury fight, come on now. Now his brother is lit. But, he can't ride the coattails of Tyson," Woodley explained to TMZ Sports.
Woodley explained that he thinks he stands a chance of winning the rematch, and that he is a tougher prospect than Tommy Fury.
"Of course I am, s—. That's why he took [the Fury] fight instead. He made a double wager and then didn't honor it because s—, why would he go back and give me the chance to finish off what I started now that I've been in there with him," he said.
