Viewers claim Jake Paul win was 'rigged' after spotting what they believe to be 'signal' between the fighters

Last night, Jake Paul extended his undefeated streak in the ring after KO'ing former UFC champion Tyron Woodley at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Woodley had stepped in as a replacement for Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy, who pulled out of the match earlier this month following a bout of illness and an injury.

Therefore, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul took on Woodley in a rematch from their first fight back in August - which Paul won on points.

Paul, 24, went on to win Saturday's fight with a sensational one-punch knock-out, which sent Woodley, 39, crashing to the canvas.

However, despite the victory silencing many of Paul's doubters, several viewers took to social media to claim that the match ending was "rigged" - with some even pointing out an alleged "signal" between the pair, moments before Paul sent Woodley to the mat.

Footage showing the closing moments of the match shows Paul twisting his right glove - a gesture that some viewers believe was a "signal" to Woodley to drop to the mat on the next punch.

Resharing the footage on Twitter, one Twitter user wrote: "Why he turn his glove like a door knob right before he threw the ko punch like that was the signal to take a dive tho [sic]."

Another Twitter user posted: "These Jake Paul fights are rigged.

"Peep how Woodley drops his left hand whilst watching the punch hit him and then does a highlight reel fall to the floor."

Replying directly to Paul's victory tweet, one Twitter user wrote: "Nice signal with your right wrist - he took the knock down right after. RIGGED."

"He literally dropped his guard when Jake Paul was coming in. Come on man, no wonder why people don’t give as much of a s**t about boxing, it’s rigged to hell," another critic tweeted.

Following his win in the ring, Paul told reporters, per the Metro: "This guy [Woodley] is a legend and respect to him for taking the fight with two weeks' notice.

Paul added: "I was setting the punch up the whole fight. He didn’t see it coming. Like a lumberjack, timber. It’s got to be the moment of my life. No one in the history of boxing has done what I’ve done at this age. Massive pay-per-views, knocked out every single person that I’ve fought."

Big words from Paul, but it certainly seems he's got more boxing fans to convince...
