Jake Paul has reacted to the doping allegations aimed at him by Tyson Fury’s father John Fury. He didn’t hesitate to verbally assault the British camp, even though his fight with Tommy Fury is off.

Jake Paul said, “It’s not true. Again. It’s John Fury, who is a lunatic. You know that guy has spent 11 years in prison. He’s lost his mind, I think it’s pretty clear to see. But it’s him making up something again, rumors.”

“There’s multiple drug tests before this fight and there will continue to be drug tests before this fight. Now that I a fighting Tyron [Woodley]. Nothing changes and the Florida State Athletic Commission has a very serious drug tests and again. I never denied any kind of drug testing.”

‘The Problem Child’ further accused ‘TNT’ of doping allegations. Well, Team Fury has been merely silent for the time and has explained nothing apart from the medical reason that forced them to walk away. It means the potential Fury vs Paul thriller is stored for the future and can come to life in a better way.

Is Tyron Woodley a ‘good news’ or ‘bad news’ for Jake Paul?

As he beat ‘T-Wood’ in August, the immediate rematch has arrived as a surprise for the boxing family. Paul arguably came across the toughest test of his career when he faced Woodley. The UFC veteran almost knocked him out, with the ropes helping Paul maintain his base. Although Jake Paul could go the distance with him, it was clearly a hard-fought battle.

However, Woodley is just one pro-fight old in boxing whereas Tommy Fury has 7 appearances under his name. This will clearly give an edge to Jake Paul, who also has more experience than Woodley as a boxer. While it may not help him exceptionally, the 24-year-old can still use his last win as a blueprint of success. Hence, Tyron Woodley can be good news for ‘The Problem Child’.
