British rapper and fighter KSI has outlined what needs to happen for him to schedule a fight with Tyron Woodley, the former UFC Welterweight Champion who lost back-to-back fights versus Jake Paul.
The YouTube boxing world has become a high-profile arena of internet celebrities, former fighters and more calling one another out, scheduling bouts, and generally trash-talking.
As fans await the announcement of KSI’s next boxing opponent – following his defeat of Swarmz and Luis Pineda – former MMA star Tyron Woodley has continued to agitate for a fight.
The once UFC Welterweight Champion has been pushing for a scrap with KSI since his second loss to Jake Paul, even releasing an image of the alleged contract that existed between the two men, only for KSI to “bail”.

“You haven’t won a fight since 2018 brother,” KSI said. “When you finally get a win, then I’ll fight you. Deal?”
He did not address Woodley’s specific allegations of a contract being agreed between the two men.
Tyron Woodley has not yet responded to KSI’s offer, but he did claim that he has “two companies that will fund the purse”, seemingly to narrow the Brit’s options in terms of avoiding a bout.

It does seem likely that the two will eventually meet in the ring, but Woodley has joined a long list of potential opponents for KSI with Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, and more all in line to scrap the wildly successful rapper and entrepreneur.
