Jake Paul details text message exchange with UFC legend before Tommy Fury fight

Jake Paul has been texting former opponent Tyron Woodley with the ex-UFC star claiming his upcoming Tommy Fury fight will be "easier" than their two bouts in 2020.

YouTube star Paul will touch gloves with bitter foe Fury at the third time of asking in Saudi Arabia on February 26, as he looks to pick up his seventh professional win. It will arguably be the toughest examination of Paul's time in the sport, given the British star has a natural background beyond the ropes.

Paul has already beaten some of the UFC's top strikers including former welterweight champion Woodley twice and promotion legend Anderson Silva. And the 'Problem Child' believes his experiences in the ring eclipse that of Fury who has eight wins as a professional.
