CLEVELAND — The buildup to Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley has been a heated one. It has now been ramped up to another level as the fight inches closer.
After a press conference that became snippy at the end along with two heated faceoffs, a scuffle emerged in the audience between both fight camps. A confrontation ensued between a member of Paul's team and Woodley's mother. Words were exchanged and the former UFC welterweight champion barged towards the situation but was held back by security and escorted out of the ballroom.

Despite Paul and Woodley no longer being in the vicinity, both fight camps continued to spew trash talk towards one another until they were also taken out of the room.
Paul (3-0, 3 KOs) competes for the second time in 2021. Back in April, the social media influencer-turned-boxer knocked out Woodley teammate Ben Askren in the first round.
Woodley (0-0) makes his professional boxing debut after losing his last four fights in the UFC.
