And as reported by The Sun, the Florida Athletic Commission have confirmed that Woodley has been hit with a two month suspension following his knockout.

After the fight, Woodley took a while to regain consciousness before participating in the post-fight press conference.

While his opponent Paul now has a plethora of possible future opponents, Woodley insisted that he would be keen on a trilogy bout with the 24-year-old despite his crushing loss.

‘I would love to fight him again,’ he said. ‘The first time I felt it was very, very close. He’s got to figure out what he wants to do – if he wants to run it back, I’m always down.

‘Me and him could fight 10 times. This is a real life Rocky movie.’ 

After his win, Jake Paul called out UFC stars Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal who were both in attendance  during the evening. 

He said: ‘Y’all are some b****es for leaving this arena. I know you don’t want that s***. I’ll take out both of y’all next. Get out of your contracts with daddy Dana (White). I’mma f*** them up too.’

Another potential opponent is Fury, with promoter Frank Warren stating that a fight could be rescheduled for early 2022.  

Woodley was not the only fighter to get suspended, with co-headliner Miriam Gutierrez handed an indefinite suspension after a savage beating over 10 rounds by Amanda Serrano. 

Serrano dominated the fight landing 236 punches in her unanimous decision victory which left Gutierrez barely recognisable after the contest.
