Fury said after his victory: "I've done my bit, now he's got to do his.
"Jake Paul...let's get it on!"

TAKING THE BIS
UFC legend Michael Bisping says he can be the one to end Jake Paul's climb up the boxing ladder.
Bisping said: "I'll be honest I want to jump in there with him after seeing that tonight.
"Look at all the hype, people are going crazy for him, you've got to admit it was a pretty enjoyable event and quite the spectacle if I'm honest.
"So yeah, listen I was watching, my God this is easy work. You want to throw some cash at me Jake, I'll do it.
"I'm only joking - but I'm a little bit serious because I'm like man this is the easiest sparring session of my life.
"But Jake's got a ton of options, tons of options. A lot of people would fight him, because he's very beatable."

CLARE-VOYANT
Claressa Shields believes Tyron Woodley deserved to win, not Jake Paul.
She said: “I thought Tyron Woodley won.
"It wasn’t no competition, what the hell did Jake Paul do? Did he hurt Woodley? He ran around the ring, he backed up the whole time.
"He didn’t win the fight. It wasn’t no close fight to me, I thought Tyron Woodley clearly won.”

How on earth did Jake Paul survive this big hit from Tyron Woodley?
The YouTuber must deserve some credit to bounce back for his points win.

PAUL RESPONSE
Jake Paul told Tyron Woodley he would only agree to a rematch if the former MMA fighter tattooed his name on him.
Paul said: “Get the tattoo and we’ll run it back.
“We got the tattoo artist right here, so you ain’t going nowhere.
“Wipe the sweat off and shave that leg, because I’m f*****g putting, ‘I love Jake Paul’ on your leg and we can run it back”

WOODLEY REACTS
Tyron Woodley questioned the judges’ decision to award the victory to Jake Paul and demanded a rematch.
Woodley said: “I feel like if that was the second biggest pay-per-view, then round two is gonna be bigger than that.
“I feel like I won the fight. I feel like Jake’s a great opponent. That’s why I came in great shape.
“The fact that one judge gave me two rounds is laughable. No disrespect, but f**k that [Tommy]Fury fight, me and Jake need to run that back”

NOT FUR US
Tommy Fury was labelled an “ass” and “not very good” after his victory over Anthony Taylor.
Fury, who then had a heated confrontation with Jake Paul, defeated former MMA star Taylor in Ohio but fellow fighters Daniel Cormier and Dillon Danis were not impressed.
Cormier tweeted: “Honest opinion of Tommy Fury, wasn’t very good! Looks the part, but can tell he is still very raw.
“This performance makes his chances to fight Paul better. He isn’t very scary, maybe he will be but not as of now.”
And Danis simply said: “Tommy Fury is ass lol”

MORE FROM FURY
Tommy Fury had more words about Jake Paul following their backstage confrontation.
Fury said: “Jake saw me ringside, I was leaning over the ropes waiting to get in. Logan said not now. They ain’t fighters.
“I was ready to throw hands there and then. This guy [Jake] doesn’t understand – me and my team will go now, we’ll get stuck in so he can count his blessings.
“Forty of his security team broke it up because the man can’t fight. Imagine him on the street… please. He wouldn’t last two seconds.
“If he had no security team there with him, he would have walked straight past me.
“There was a moment in that corridor where everything was going off between the security, my team, his team and it was just me and him.
“I looked dead into his soul. When the cameras are not around, he doesn’t want to know.
“Let’s be honest, if he really wanted to fight me, I’d have been in that ring there at the end through the ropes, let’s go, there’s no return.
“But he didn’t want that and the reason why he didn’t want me in the ring is because if I was getting in there, he wouldn’t be able to go back on it”

PAUL-ING HIS LEG
Jake Paul discussed his backstage altercation with Tommy Fury after his victory over Tyron Woodley.
Paul said:”Look, the guy really had nothing to say, he had a mediocre performance against my sparring partner.
“All credit to Anthony Taylor he’s a tough guy but Tommy Fury is supposed to be this tough, big bad guy, legendary bloodline.
“I got into his face and let him talk. I don’t have anything to say to him – at the end of the day I hired him to be here, I gave him an opportunity to shine. I don’t have any bad blood I just said, ‘Yo tell your girl to get out of my DMs.’
“At the end of the day, will we see that fight? I would run that s*** easy – that’s an easier fight than Tyron in my opinion. People say he’s a real boxer – OK, maybe, let’s run it real boxer”

WORK FOUR IT
Jake Paul was rocked and hurt for the first time in his boxing career during his split-decision win over Tyron Woodley.
But after three routine knockout wins, this was his most difficult test so far, and so it proved in the fourth round.
Woodley had started passively but exploded in round four as he finally went on the offensive.
That is when the former UFC star crashed a huge right hook on to the head of Paul.
The YouTuber was stunned and fell back into the ropes, struggling to keep himself up.
It was then when Woodley decided to wave his arm around to get the crowd going – rather than going in for the killer blow.
That allowed the social media personality to catch his breath and recover to see out the remaining 40 seconds of the round

PAUL RESPONDS
Jake Paul confirmed he would be keen to face UFC legend Conor McGregor after beating former MMA star Tyron Woodley.
Paul said: “I’m salivating too because I’m just getting warmed up. Conor McGregor has a lot more to focus on besides me right now.
“I’m five wins in a row, he’s one in three in the past four years so he needs to get off his vodka or whatever his brand is, sober up and get back in the gym then we can f*****g fight.
“There’s no way he hits harder than Woodley, he doesn’t weigh as much as Woodley, he’s shorter than Woodley.
“I said it before the fight, I think Woodley is a harder fight than him, especially on the weight he is going – Conor is going down, I’m going up.”
Paul was also called out by Tommy Fury after the boxer beat Anthony Taylor

MORE FROM BISPING
UFC hero Michael Bisping described Jake Paul as “very beatable” after his win over Tyron Woodley and doesn’t expect him to ever accept a fight against him or Tommy Fury.
Bisping said: “He’s very beatable. You mentioned there Tommy Fury, I don’t even think they’d take that fight.
“They want someone that’s big, that’s a marquee kind of pay-per-view draw but somebody that’s at the end of their career that isn’t really going to pose too much of a threat.
“And for that reason, you know damn well they ain’t going to call me”
