Jake Paul aims dig at Tommy Fury during weighin for rematch with Tyron Woodley
Tommy this could have been you - Jake Paul mocks his old rival Tommy Fury after screaming into the face of replacement opponent Tyron Woodley at their weigh-in

Jake Paul wore a T-shirt mocking Tommy Fury while he weighed in on Friday night for his fight with Tyron Woodley.

Fury was forced to withdraw from facing Paul due to "a severe chest infection and a broken rib", and was replaced by Woodley, who lost to the YouTuber-turned-boxer in their first meeting earlier this year.

Paul posed in a T-shirt that said: "Tommy this could have been you."

He weighed in at 191lbs, two pounds heavier than Woodley.

"It's a different Jake Paul that you are going to see," he told Showtime.

"Nobody will second-guess me after.

"Thank you for bringing the dog out of me."

A fiery stare-down at the weigh-in featured Paul screaming in his rival's face before they were separated.

Paul has already incentivised Woodley with a $500,000 bonus if he can win by knockout.

Paul was taken the eight-round distance for the first time by the former UFC champion, but won a split decision in their first fight.
