Jake Paul reveals the significance of wearing a ski mask in intense staredown against Tyron Woodley
During the press conference for his rematch against Tyron Woodley, Jake Paul was seen wearing a ski mask along with an all-black costume. Paul felt that since he's already beaten Woodley, the second fight will be much easier for him.
He mocked Tommy Fury for pulling out of the fight while also explaining the symbolism behind the ski mask. 'The Problem Child' had this to say:
"You know, I just thought to myself it's funny how these professionals – like Tommy Fury who is considered to be a professional boxer – gets sick, breaks a rib and doesn't want to fight. I've fought sick, I've fought hurt... they're like, 'Oh, you got Tyron Woodley now!' No problem, that's why I got the ski mask on. They're going to give me a big bag to go and beat the guy I already beat. This is a bank robbery."
