The best moments from the latest Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley press conference as the pair is set for a short notice rematch
The highly anticipated social media grudge match between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury was recently called off after the latter pulled from the fight. 'The Problem Child' and his team quickly replaced Tyson Fury's younger brother with an old nemisis.

Jake Paul sat for his second press conference opposite 'T-Wood' on Monday. With the combat sports world in high gear, gathered media asked about Paul's choice to face Tyron Woodley on such short notice. The Cleveland, Ohio native replied:
"I'm just gonna go and knock this guy out and it just goes to show that when I say anyone, anytime, anyplace I mean it and most fighters aren't like that. And for me to take whoever, whereever, whenever, this early on in my career, doing eight round fights is unheard off."
Jake Paul has certainly shown guts by taking another fight with Woodley. 'The Chosen One' is hell-bent on avenging his split-decision setback vs. Paul, which included an embarrasing post-fight tattoo forced upon him by the ultimate prankster.
Change of plans 👀
Fury has withdrawn from the fight due to medical issues.
We’ll now see @jakepaul vs. @TWooodley run it back on 12.18. #PaulWoodley https://t.co/LbpUzzUjzS
Why did Tommy Fury pull out from his fight against Jake Paul?
It was revealed Tommy Fury withdrew from his spotlight bout because of a chest infection and broken rib. Although Fury made it known he hopes for a match with Paul in the future, Jake Paul is not on the same page.
During the press conference, Paul spoke about how Fury did a terrible job promoting their fight. The former Disney actor claims he might not give the 'Love Island' star another shot down the line. Paul said:
"He didn't show up to the press conference and then he pulled out of the fight. He has done a terrible job at promoting the fight that we had. He is not as hype as everyone thought he was."
