Jake Paul referee made desperate plea after stunning Tyron Woodley KO

The referee was forced to beg for a doctor to be called after Jake Paul knocked Tyron Woodley out cold during their rematch in December.

The pair had fought to a drab split decision in their first bout back in August, and were heading that way again in their December rematch when Paul landed a beautiful right hand in the sixth to end the fight. Woodley had taken the fight on short notice after Tommy Fury pulled out with two weeks to go, and was visibly tiring.

And when Paul faked a shot to the body and instead went upstairs, he turned the former UFC champion's lights out with one shot. Immediately after the shot landed, referee Chris Young waved off the contest, and can be heard in footage telling Paul's team not to get in the ring.
