Tyron Woodley is willing to fight KSI after topping the YouTube star's poll in which fans voted for his next opponent.
KSI let his Twitter followers decide who his opponent will be in January as he drafted up a list that included former UFC champion Woodley, Conor McGregor's teammate Dillon Danis and YouTube stars Dr Mike and Slim Albaher. The poll has over 700,000 votes and Woodley is leading it with 35 per cent of them, while Danis is in second place with 33 per cent.
Jake Paul responded to KSI's poll by writing to his former opponent: "Yo Tyron Woodley, you down to do this in January in the US? 180 pounds?" Paul won a split decision against Woodley last August and brutally knocked him out in their rematch later that year. Woodley then replied to Paul: "I'm ready to now! Tell KSI to quit sitting on a Kotex."

KSI has since caught wind of Woodley's comments and accused him of sucking up to his former opponent Paul, who has been backed to meet YouTube rival KSI next year at Wembley Stadium. "Jake Paul really got you on a leash," KSI wrote to Woodley, who then issued a scathing reply to the Brit.
"I'll dog walk your a** so now what? You wouldn't accept a fight on two weeks notice. Instead you fought two weak a** warm ups," the American wrote. "You know my people run the play and put your money where your mouth is! Otherwise keep my name out your mouth before you get slapped in it."
KSI then accused Woodley of purposely standing in front of Paul in their rematch before he was knocked out. The Brit said he would fight Woodley to prove how bad he and Paul are at boxing. "You literally stood there to get knocked out. Both your fights against Jake were ass. So boring to watch. Only reason I would fight you is to show everyone how ass you both are, by beating you in a quicker time lmao," he wrote.
Many fans claimed that Woodley's rematch against Paul was 'fixed' but the former UFC champion rubbished the conspiracy theories, stating that Paul's knockout was legitimate. "That was a mother******* dive but it wasn't on purpose, he hit me with some s***," he said on The MMA Hour. "I just feel like be real man people resonate with real. People f*** with realness and being authentic, I beat guys who were always on top and they thought I was going to lose no matter what people throughout me."
