Jake Paul is one of the most polarising figures in the world of combat sports. ‘The Problem Child’ has now become one of the biggest draws in the world of boxing with his ability to promote fights in his own unique way and back it up with his performances inside the ring.

In his most recent fight, Paul took on his toughest assignment to date when he faced former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley. Paul overcame adversity early on in the fight, where he was almost knocked down to secure a unanimous decision win.

In the build-up to the fight, the two men agreed that if Tyron Woodley lost the fight, he would get a tattoo on his body saying ‘I love Jake Paul’. The same applied to Paul as well. In the post-fight interview as well, the two competitors shook hands in the ring that an immediate rematch was on the table if Woodley got the tattoo. 

Although ‘The Chosen One’ did get the tattoo, he did not secure a rematch with Jake Paul. In a recent interview, Woodley shared his thoughts on the same. He said, “Jake Paul is a b*tch. He didn’t want to fight, like, ‘You did it too late.’ No, you just didn’t want to fight, and they gave you a way out, and you took it and ran.”

The former champion continued, “It’s like a little kid in a playground, ‘Na, na, na, na, na,’ when they know they didn’t really win. So for me, most people that watched the fight felt like I won the fight. I really did not walk away a loser.”

Jake Paul takes on a tough assignment in Tommy Fury 

Paul has been extremely active this year. ‘The Problem Child’ will step into the ring for the third time this year when he takes on Tommy Fury on December 18th. Paul often received criticism from fans and pundits alike for fighters who were either past their primes or had little to no expertise in striking.

This time around, Paul has taken yet another big risk by facing someone who is a legitimate boxer. Fury is also naturally much bigger than the opponents Paul has faced thus far. Therefore, a win over Fury would definitely legitimize Paul as a boxer once again.
