KSI set to abandon plan to fight former Jake Paul opponent Tyron Woodley

YouTube star KSI is unlikely to face Tyron Woodley in his boxing return after the UFC legend leaked details of a potential fight contract.

The social media sensation, who last fought twice in one night in August when he knocked out rapper Swarmz and journeyman Luis Pineda, will announce his next boxing opponent on Saturday night in Texas. Woodley has long led a list of potential opponents for the Brit, but appears now to have been ruled out.

A spokesperson for Misfits Boxing, KSI's influencer fight promotion, told Mirror Fighting that Woodley is "washed" and asked why the Brit would fight someone who "keeps losing". This comes after the UFC star claimed he was "ghosted" once he was given a contract for a January 14 bout.
