Tyron Woodley claims Tommy Fury wants to fight UFC legend at two weeks' notice

UFC legend Tyron Woodley claims Tommy Fury wants to fight him on just two weeks' notice.

The former welterweight champion hasn't fought since he was knocked out by Jake Paul last December after losing a split decision to the YouTuber the previous August. Now he claims Fury, a long-time rival of Paul's, is looking to fight him, but only in very favourable circumstances for himself.

He also claims other fighters have insisted the fight take place at 200lb, which would see him move up over two stone from his UFC prime. His bouts with Paul took place at 190lb, with Woodley tipping the scales at 189lb and 185lb for their two meetings in 2021, so he would be putting on major size to make a fight happen at that weight.
