Jake Paul says Tommy Fury was ‘LUCKY’ he pulled out of fight and would have been KO’d ‘a lot worse’ than Tyron Woodley
JAKE PAUL says that Tommy Fury was 'lucky' not to be in the ring with him on Saturday night.
The Brit, 22, was forced to pull out of his lucrative bout with the Problem Child after sustaining an injury during his camp.
Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley stepped in for a rematch on two weeks' notice, only to be brutally KO'd by Paul in the sixth round.
While T-Wood lay flat out on the canvas, Paul claimed that it would have been 'a lot worse' for Fury.
The American, 24, said: "I'm ready to fight whoever.
"It doesn't matter if they're a professional boxer or a five-time UFC champion. I don't care.
"I'm really built for this. And no matter what I'm gonna get the job done.
"And that's what I showed tonight.

"And Tommy Fury is lucky he wasn't in there tonight. Because Tyron's way tougher, he has that experience."
Paul produced a dominant performance, having been ahead on all three scorecards going into the sixth round.
But he was respectful towards Woodley after the fight.
He said: "This is as real as it f***ing gets, just like my right hand.
";I told you I was going to f*** him up and I f***ed him up.
"This guy is a legend, don't take anything away from his career as a UFC champion and respect him for taking the fight on two weeks' notice.
"He's warrior, that was a tough fight right there, he's a legend."
