The Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley ceremonial weigh-ins were as eventful as expected. With all the trash talk and all the build-up before the fight, sparks were bound to fly on stage. Jake Paul, up to his usual antics, did all he could to get into Woodley’s mind.

The tension between both the fighters and their camps was palpable. The face-off started off pretty uneventfully until Ariel Helwani went over to interview Jake Paul. At that moment, ‘The Problem Child’ took the opportunity to taunt Woodley while eating a box of Raising Cane’s chicken fingers.

“Chicken fingers, Tyron’s a chicken,” Paul told Helwani.

Woodley, however, came prepared. He went over to Jake Paul with a handful of DudeWipes- baby wipes for men. The 3-0 boxer then smacked the wipes out of Tyron Woodley’s hand and started walking towards him. The situation quickly escalated as both the fighters’ camps rushed onto the stage to sort things out.

While Jake Paul weighed in at 190 pounds for the Cruiserweight showdown, Tyron ‘The Chosen One’ Woodley tipped the scales at 189.5 pounds. Hence, both fighters made weight for their match.
