Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley: YouTuber secures controversial split decision victory

YouTube star Jake Paul outpointed UFC champion Tyron Woodley to remain unbeaten and move to 4-0 as a professional boxer.

The favourite going into the fight, Paul was the busier boxer, according to the stats, and managed to convince two of the judges - whose scorecards have now been revealed.

Paul did have to weather a storm in the fourth round when he was stunned by a looping right hand by Woodley.

But in truth, Woodley failed to capitalise and his cautious approach cost him a genuine chance of winning the fight.

Woodley then demanded a rematch once the official decision had been read, with Paul offering him terms centred around a tattoo to roll it back for a second fight.

Here’s all the latest updates and reaction following the big fight and what comes next.

Ivan Baranchyk vs Montana Love

That’s the biggest win of Montana Love’s career. It was a fantastic turnaround after round three where Baranchyk knocked him around the ring.

Love wins!

Ivan Baranchyk’s corner throw in the towel after Montana Love got the knockdown. What a fight from the 26-year-old, he was on his last legs at points but finished Baranchyk with a left uppercut.

Round Seven

Love lands two right-left combinations early in the round before stepping up to offload on the Russian who may be starting to slow down. More dodges from Love that forces Baranchyk to hit air. The Russian swings himself off his feet with a powerful left hook.

He’s down!

Love lands a straight left and sends the Russian to the canvas! That’s a big hit from the American to end the round.

What a shot from Love!

Round Six

This is a really close fight to call but I don’t think it’ll go the distance. Both fighters have landed big shots and it’ll be a let down if someone doesn’t get a knockout.

This has been a quieter round but Baranchyk lands a couple of decent punches before hitting Love around the back of the head. I’d say Love is winning so far which may force Baranchyk to take more risks.
