Dan Hardy was supposed to take on Tyron Woodley in a rumored boxing match. Now Woodley has a different boxing match as he's stepped up to fight Jake Paul on short notice.

Dan Hardy has been teasing a return to combat sports for years now. He was supposed to return in the form of a boxing match but it appears that will have to wait.

“I’m a bit disappointed, because I was looking forward to the Jake Paul-Tommy Fury fight, to be honest. But I’m glad that Tyron’s getting his rematch. I mean, it’s a second opportunity that he may not have got otherwise,” Hardy told Submission Radio. “But it also makes sense as to why he’s gone a bit quiet with the other promoter that we’ve been speaking to, because they probably had him in reserve thinking one of these guys might fall out anyway. But the fight that we were talking about is in March, so there’s still time to make that happen. I’m talking with ONE Championship as well at the moment, as well as another organization which has contacted me. So, I’ve got a few options.”

Dan Hardy is happy for Tyron Woodley but it means that he will need to look for an opportunity elsewhere. The opportunity in ONE Championship would be either a kickboxing or muay Thai bout against John Wayne Parr.

It is unclear if Dan Hardy will actually be able to make a return. He has been talking about it for a long time and a return has been postponed many times.
