Jake Paul calls himself Muhammad Ali
Jake Paul is coming back to the boxing ring soon to settle his rivalry once and for all with Tyron Woodley in a rematch and the YouTuber compares himself to boxing legend Muhammad Ali.
One of the most entertaining matchups of this year is back to putting on a show as YouTube boxer Jake Paul takes on former welterweight MMA champion Tyron Woodley. The fight is set to happen at the main of SHOWTIME pay-per-view on December 18th at the Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Both the fighters took on each other on August 29th in their first meeting where Jake won the fight via a split decision making it a very horrible defeat for the boxing debutant T-Woodley. Jake and Tyron are ready to light up an arena once again but this time Paul believes the pressure is once again back on him.
In recent addressing with the media, Paul talked about how there is still a chip on his shoulder for not finishing his rival in the first fight. When asked about why the YouTube boxer has the most pressure heading into the rematch, he said, “Just because he already lost. When you do something it starts to become a habit. When you are a loser it’s a habit. That’s been the case so far for Tyron.”
Jake Paul says Tyron has nothing to lose in rematch
Paul has been undefeated in his entire career as a professional boxer. Whereas, Tyron is on a devastating losing skid. The fighter has now lost five out of his last five professional fights. Jake believes this rematch means more to him than the former UFC welterweight champion. “What does he have here? What career does he have ahead of him? I am 24 years old, I could take over the world and become the next Muhammad Ali…at the rate, this is going,” said Paul talking to the reporters.
“So what does he have? He has nothing. I have a much bigger story here. A much greater presence…I’m doing something that no one’s ever done before. For him to win, it doesn’t help the sport, doesn’t help the world. No one really cares.”
