Look! YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul beats Tyron Woodley by split decision

Jake Paul enters the arena prior to the fight against Tyron Woodley in their cruiserweight bout during a Showtime pay-per-view event at Rocket Morgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio.

Former UFC champion Tyron Woodley enters the arena for what was billed as one of the top boxing crossover fights of the year.

Comedian Dave Chappelle arrives to watch the fight at Rocket Morgage Fieldhouse. Paul had a 3-0 career boxing record and was competing for the second time this year. He knocked out Ben Askren in the first round in April in under two minutes.

Woodley was making his professional boxing debut after a 27-fight MMA career, which included a three-year run as a dominant UFC welterweight champion.

The UFC parted ways with Woodley following his defeat to Vicente Luque in his last appearance in the octagon, a first-round submission loss at UFC 260 in March.

During the fighter announcements, Woodley caught some boos but he also had a fair amount of support in the stands while Paul, of course, got raucous applause during his announcement.

Paul, the 24-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, was rocked by a solid right hand which sent him into the ropes from 39-year-old Woodley in the fourth round. Paul then returned with a solid combo and started to fire with impunity.

Paul, who had had won his previous four fights within two rounds, won this one 77-75, 75-77, 78-74 on the scorecards. Paul showed his battling qualities to win a split decision after being dragged to the final bell by Woodley.

Paul and Woodley argued post-fight over a rematch that hinged on the loser getting a tattoo of the winner's name.
