The war of words continues between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley before their highly awaited boxing bout on August 28. Both the guys have taken constant shots at each other and have engaged in some trash talk ever since they signed the bout agreement. ‘The Problem Child’ trolled Woodley on June 20 by posting a collage of photos where UFC fighters including Tyron Woodley were seen getting finished or crying.

Paul tweeted, “As a father myself, today means a lot to me. Even though they’ve all lost a lot… my sons all have made me so proud.”

The troll took a while to reach ‘The Chosen One’, but when it did, Woodley replied, “Dummy that’s a pic of me getting a black belt after I smashed someone for a ufc one. But you wouldn’t know nothing about getting strapped up. only strap ons.”

Woodley’s crying photo in the collage wasn’t captured after his loss. Instead, it was taken after he defeated Darren Till for the welterweight championship at UFC 228. After the fight, he received a BJJ black belt.
