He did get a chance at redemption though with a late-notice match after Tommy Fury (22), pulled out of the fight against YouTube star Paul (24), due to injury.

It was a terrible KO loss for Woodley and left him the victim of online trolling.

Gerald Tucker, a boxing coach, fought both fights with Paul and insisted that Paul has overcome much worse.

SunSport spoke with Tucker: "He's originally from Ferguson, Missouri. It's a difficult spot. Urban and comparable to Cincinnati, Ohio.

"We are born with something that will not let us worry about the past or stay down too long.

Woodley, 39, quit the UFC after four consecutive losses, and began boxing as a new venture.

Paul has headlined back to back pay-per-views, so his options are endless in the ring and cage.

Tucker, a talented trainer who also coaches Floyd Mayweather & Adrien Broner, believes Woodley will return to boxing.

He stated that he was still interested in boxing. Tyron and me talking about everything.

"I don’t think a day goes past without Tyron and I talking. He's going to go in there late spring, I believe.
