Video: Tyron Woodley and KSI get into heated verbal altercation during Floyd Mayweather vs. Deji event

Tyron Woodley and KSI got into a heated verbal exchange during the recently concluded exhibition crossover boxing match contested between Floyd Mayweather and Deji Olatunji.

KSI, the most popular social media star in the UK, was in attendance to support his brother Deji in his fight against five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. The YouTuber is targeting a return to the boxing ring in early 2023. He's been linked to professional boxers Joe Fournier and Tommy Fury, as well as former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, as potential opponents.

The former UFC welterweight champion and KSI have engaged in several Twitter exchanges in the past, with the CEO of Misfits Boxing claiming that he can beat 'The Chosen One' faster than Jake Paul.

@KSI

You literally stood there to get knocked out.

Both your fights against Jake were ass. So boring to watch. Only reason I would fight you is to show everyone how ass you both are, by beating you in a quicker time lmao. twitter.com/TWooodley/stat…

Tensions flared when Tyron Woodley, just as he promised, confronted the YouTube star-turned-boxer in the aftermath of the fight between Mayweather and Deji. Security intervened to put an end to the rumpus before the situation worsened.

Watch the exchange below:

Tyron Woodley made the transition into the boxing world and faced Jake Paul in hsis debut fight. He was narrowly defeated by a split decision.

Who do you want me to fight in January?

Speaking in a recent interview with Fred Talks Fighting, Woodley claimed that he would rather fight than engage in banter on Twitter:

"I ain't really from that era man. I'm in the mix because I fought Jake, but I'm not really of that mix. I'm a real fighter. I fought on last-minute notice [in rematch against Jake Paul]. People that are just clickbaiting around, and cl**t chasing, I don't really f**k with this. So, if you want to fight me, let's do it then."

Addressing the heated exchange that he got into with KSI during the Floyd Mayweather vs. Deji event, Woodley added:

"He didn't say much. I didn't really think that he was going to pull up on me in real life. He didn't come up to me first. Ran away from me the whole night."
