After Jake Paul’s sensational knockout of Tyron Woodley, fans reacted in shock and amazement.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul beat UFC star Woodley by split decision in August, but left no doubt over the result this time, recording a powerful KO with a picture-perfect overhand right in Tampa, Florida.
Many celebrities took to Twitter quickly to show their appreciation for the victory of the 24-year old.

After an accident head-to-head collision, the pair became bleeding. Paul sustained a severe cut.
Jake’s brother Logan – who ‘fought’ Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout in June but lost against fellow Internet personality KSI in a split decision in 2019 – reacted by tweeting: ‘who the F*** is knocking people out flat like that repeatedly’.
Ryan Garcia from the Boxing Association said, ‘KO Of The Year TBH’. DDG on the other hand said, ‘Jake Paul was the closest thing that we have to floyd Mayweather at this stage’.
Mayweather’s half-century career of professional bouts has produced a 50-0 record. He is widely considered one of the greatest boxers ever.
Twitter was quickly filled with praises for Paul. Ryan Garcia, a boxer, called it “KO of the Year”.
ESPN Ringside echoed Garcia’s feelings, saying “Time to add @JakePaul (of) KO Of The Year nominees #PaulWoodley”.
A fan, prematurely, compared him with Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali. These are two great boxers.
Reactions on social media were continued with Deji, KSI’s younger brother adding his thoughts (above).
Trae Young is a Basketball player. The fire emoji followed with “Wow!” True Geordie from YouTube said: “3 year ago Tyron Woodley had been UFC World Champion, and @jakepaul didn’t have a professional fight.” Goodnight.’
Deji, KSI’s brother who was once linked with Jake fighting him, stated: ‘Fair Play Jake Paul’ and a fan said: Jake Paul I idol’
One user said that Tommy seemed to be the winner of this fight. This was in reference to British boxer Tommy Fury who pulled out and could have avoided a bullet, according to this tweet.
