Tyron Woodley details how negotiations for boxing fight against KSI broke down

UFC legend Tyron Woodley has detailed how talks for a potential fight with KSI broke down after he received a contract he believed to be the most disrespectful of his career.

The former welterweight champion hasn't fought since his knockout loss to Jake Paul at the end of 2021, but was willing to come to the United Kingdom to face KSI earlier this month. It appeared that a deal had been reached, with Logan Paul set to fight Dillon Danis in the co-main event before the YouTuber picked up an injury and the spectacle was shuffled around so KSI could face Danis.

In a fresh update, Woodley has detailed exactly what irked him in the fight contract, most notably a weight clause that would have made him fight at the minimum weight for a cruiserweight title bout. He agreed in principle to the terms, but promoters ended up going for Dillon Danis and then Faze Temperrr.
