Jake Paul will face Tyron Woodley on August 29, but he is already having another feud with Tommy Fury, who will appear on the same card to take on Anthony Taylor. Despite having a tough test ahead, Paul believes he will win and then challenge ‘TNT’ Fury in a fight that already has people’s attention.

Paul and Fury have begun the verbal war, although they have different opponents on board. While they will soon come face to face in an official press conference, Paul has humorously warned the Brit about wearing a hat.

Jake Paul’s bizarre stunt of snatching Floyd Mayweather’s cap a few months ago is still fresh to the combat fans. That said, ‘The Problem Child’ has vowed to remake the scene under certain circumstances.

In a chat with The Sun, Jake Paul said, “I would tell him not to wear a hat. If he wants to play those games, we can play those games, Tommy.”

“Look, if you want to wear a hat, that sh!t’s going to get taken, one way or another. I’m stealing everybody’s hat, nobody’s hat’s safe. This kid’s not fast enough, Floyd Mayweather, I took this guy’s hat and he had to have 20 guys to hold me down before he could get one punch off 15 seconds later.” (H/T-Boxing Scene)
