During his interview at the weigh-ins, Woodley vowed to give Paul the worst beating of his life.

“It’s over. That’s all I can think about. It’s over. He’s shaking. He’s quivering. And he should be because I’m about to hurt him in a way he’s never felt before. And that’s on Mama Woodley.”

Paul brought with him some Raising Cane’s chicken on stage and called Woodley a coward.

“Chicken fingers. Tyron’s a chicken. It makes sense.”

Paul then attempted to snatch Woodley’s hat as he did to Mayweather. The YouTube star was unsuccessful this time.

Paul and Woodley will collide tomorrow night. The action will be held inside the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio. It’ll be an eight-round pro boxing match. Fight fans hoping to catch the action will need to order through Showtime PPV.

Woodley has been training with boxing Hall of Fame elect Floyd Mayweather ahead of the fight with Paul. Here’s what he told reporters about training with Mayweather.

“He told me certain aspects he was very impressed with,” Woodley told reporters at a press conference for his fight with Paul (via The Mirror). “I can’t tell you right now what that aspect was because I’m going to be utilizing, but he said, ‘wow his game in this area is crazy, man’ and I understand why. I put a lot of mental pressure on people and you can tell when I’m looking for you and pushing you and hunting you down which is going to transition well from MMA to boxing.”

As for Jake Paul, he says his goal is to ultimately gain the respect of boxing purists.

“Yeah, look, I would love the boxing community to fully embrace me,” Paul said (via Boxing Scene). “I think a lot of people have already. But now it’s that, it’s the boxing purists, who maybe fully don’t understand exactly what I’m doing. So, I would love that respect. And like I said, all I’m trying to do is have boxing become one of the top two sports. I wanna take over the NBA, I wanna take over the NFL, I wanna take over MMA, because MMA took over boxing for a long period of time.”
