MORE FROM FURY
Tommy Fury had more words about Jake Paul following their backstage confrontation.
Fury said: “Jake saw me ringside, I was leaning over the ropes waiting to get in. Logan said not now. They ain’t fighters.
“I was ready to throw hands there and then. This guy [Jake] doesn’t understand – me and my team will go now, we’ll get stuck in so he can count his blessings.
“Forty of his security team broke it up because the man can’t fight. Imagine him on the street… please. He wouldn’t last two seconds.
“If he had no security team there with him, he would have walked straight past me.
“There was a moment in that corridor where everything was going off between the security, my team, his team and it was just me and him.
“I looked dead into his soul. When the cameras are not around, he doesn’t want to know.
“Let’s be honest, if he really wanted to fight me, I’d have been in that ring there at the end through the ropes, let’s go, there’s no return.
“But he didn’t want that and the reason why he didn’t want me in the ring is because if I was getting in there, he wouldn’t be able to go back on it.”
PAUL-ING HIS LEG
Jake Paul discussed his backstage altercation with Tommy Fury after his victory over Tyron Woodley.
Paul said:”Look, the guy really had nothing to say, he had a mediocre performance against my sparring partner.
“All credit to Anthony Taylor he’s a tough guy but Tommy Fury is supposed to be this tough, big bad guy, legendary bloodline.
“I got into his face and let him talk. I don’t have anything to say to him – at the end of the day I hired him to be here, I gave him an opportunity to shine. I don’t have any bad blood I just said, ‘Yo tell your girl to get out of my DMs.’
“At the end of the day, will we see that fight? I would run that s*** easy – that’s an easier fight than Tyron in my opinion. People say he’s a real boxer – OK, maybe, let’s run it real boxer”
WORK FOUR IT
Jake Paul was rocked and hurt for the first time in his boxing career during his split-decision win over Tyron Woodley.
But after three routine knockout wins, this was his most difficult test so far, and so it proved in the fourth round.
Woodley had started passively but exploded in round four as he finally went on the offensive.
That is when the former UFC star crashed a huge right hook on to the head of Paul.
The YouTuber was stunned and fell back into the ropes, struggling to keep himself up.
It was then when Woodley decided to wave his arm around to get the crowd going – rather than going in for the killer blow.
That allowed the social media personality to catch his breath and recover to see out the remaining 40 seconds of the round
PAUL RESPONDS
Jake Paul confirmed he would be keen to face UFC legend Conor McGregor after beating former MMA star Tyron Woodley.
Paul said: “I’m salivating too because I’m just getting warmed up. Conor McGregor has a lot more to focus on besides me right now.
“I’m five wins in a row, he’s one in three in the past four years so he needs to get off his vodka or whatever his brand is, sober up and get back in the gym then we can f*****g fight.
“There’s no way he hits harder than Woodley, he doesn’t weigh as much as Woodley, he’s shorter than Woodley.
“I said it before the fight, I think Woodley is a harder fight than him, especially on the weight he is going – Conor is going down, I’m going up.”
Paul was also called out by Tommy Fury after the boxer beat Anthony Taylor
JAKE DROOL
UFC legend Conor McGregor is ‘salivating’ at the prospect of fighting Jake Paul, who has also been challenged by Tommy Fury.
McGregor took to social media with a simple one-word message after Paul’s split-decision win over Tyron Woodley.
The Notorious tweeted: “Salivating.”
This suggests the the Irish superstar is excited by taking on the YouTuber – because he is confident of destroying the entertainer in the ring
MORE FROM BISPING
UFC hero Michael Bisping described Jake Paul as “very beatable” after his win over Tyron Woodley and doesn’t expect him to ever accept a fight against him or Tommy Fury.
Bisping said: “He’s very beatable. You mentioned there Tommy Fury, I don’t even think they’d take that fight.
“They want someone that’s big, that’s a marquee kind of pay-per-view draw but somebody that’s at the end of their career that isn’t really going to pose too much of a threat.
“And for that reason, you know damn well they ain’t going to call me”
CASHING IN
UFC great Michael Bisping suggested he’s open to fighting Jake Paul after the YouTuber’s win over Tyron Woodley.
Bisping even believes it would be “the easiest sparring session” of his life after watching Paul beating Woodley by split decision.
The former MMA favourite said: “I’ll be honest I want to jump in there with him after seeing that tonight.
“Look at all the hype, people are going crazy for him, you’ve got to admit it was a pretty enjoyable event and quite the spectacle if I’m honest.
“So yeah, listen I was watching, my God this is easy work. You want to throw some cash at me Jake, I’ll do it.
“I’m only joking – but I’m a little bit serious because I’m like man this is the easiest sparring session of my life.
“But Jake’s got a ton of options, tons of options. A lot of people would fight him, because he’s very beatable.”
