TYRON WOODLEY has accused Jake Paul of being ‘scared’ after the YouTuber performed a U-turn on a potential rematch.
The Problem Child agreed to share the ring with the former UFC welterweight champion for a second time moments after his split-decision victory in their boxing match last month.
Paul, 24, agreed to box The Chosen One again if he honoured the pre-fight bet by getting ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattooed on his skin.
Woodley, 39, has yet to get the tatt but believes the former Disney star has no intention of fighting him again.
The Missouri mauler told MMA Fighting: “It went from, ‘Get the tattoo, and it’s a rematch,’ to ‘get the tattoo and we’ll think about a rematch,’ to, ‘Oh, he didn’t get the tattoo, so there’s no rematch.’
“It sounds like he’s just f**king scared to fight.
“He knows he squeaked out by the hair on his chinny chin, chin; a lot of people thought he lost the fight. He got saved by the ropes.
“Man, s**t, if I was him, maybe I’d just run off into the wind, as well.

“But if he’s sitting there acting like that’s not why we’re doing the fight, he’s a f*****g liar.”
Woodley is desperate to settle the score with the younger Paul brother but admits the ball is well and truly not in his court.
He added: “I can’t make another man fight me.
“At the end of the day, I’m not going to beg another man to fight me.
“But if you’re looking at a prizefighting sport that’s talking about me making money, me and Jake might go down as having the fourth overall pay-per-view.
“Nobody wants to watch no damn Tommy Fury. They saw us fight already, there’s some controversy.
“It sounds like he’s just f**king scared to fight

“Some people thought I won.
“Some people thought there was controversy that I haven’t even brought up yet, that we were like, ‘Ah, that wasn’t in the original agreement.’ I still feel like it’s unresolved.
“This is the beginning of a trilogy, and no other fight option that he has is going to do what we did with just organic drama.”
Paul’s sights are currently set on a bout with UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal, a contest that was recently shut down by president Dana White.
The YouTuber recently issued an ultimatum of the UFC big-wig, writing on Twitter: ‘”Anderson’s out… JAKE JAKE JAKE.’
“I want your star talent. Your ‘in their prime’ strikers so I can exploit their lack of Boxing ability.
“So let’s do this. Me vs. Jorge Masvidal and Amanda Serrano vs. Amanda Nunes…
“If we win, you let any of your fighters fight me going forward.
“If we lose, I leave you and your exploitative business alone. DANA…DANA…DANA?”
