The infamous Logan Paul Japan incident had a massive effect on Jake Paul, too.

Nowadays, there is argument that the younger Paul brother is the most notable one, at least in the realm of combat sports. However, when both Jake and Logan were massive on YouTube, it was Logan who was the notorious one, being known for going to suicide forests in Japan and filming a dead body for a video on his channel in 2017.

While this incident and the subsequent backlash that came from it was directly in regards to Logan, Jake Paul recently explained in an interview that it also had a huge impact on his life too. In fact, he opened up about implied suicidal thoughts after feeling like his life was falling apart in the wake of multiple sponsors dropping him simply because he was Logan’s brother.

“There was a point where everything went downhill for the Paul brothers. It was after my brother’s Japan incident, where no-one wanted to work with us,” Paul said (h/t Mirror UK). “Every brand I was affiliated with dropped me, I wasn’t even the one who filmed the video. It was just by way of association because my brother filmed in the suicide forest.

“My life was pretty much ruined. YouTube demonetized me, every brand dropped me,” Paul continued. “I had a $10 million deal with Target that was going to live, they dropped me. I’m sitting there at 21, I lose basically all my income because of something my brother did, I’m blacklisted. Everything in my life was falling apart. Dark thoughts come into your head of like ‘I don’t wanna be here on earth anymore.'”

As for how he was able to pull himself out of this depression, Jake Paul explained that he sought out religion to help him. Now, with a refocused mindset and determination, he does not plan on letting anything else stop his success.

“At the time, I was just looking for hope, so I started going to church. Start talking to adults who would have any sort of advice,” Paul explained. “The media wants to see me fail, and I’m not gonna give them what they want. I made the decision to wake up every day and change my attitude. I started telling myself every single day when I woke up in my bed I’m happy and I’m gonna be happier next week than I am this week. I would just tell myself these things, and it helped. I just made that decision to not give up.”

It is great to see that Jake Paul found help for his suicidal thoughts and that his methods ended up working for him. While every situation is different, it is important to remember that it is never too late to turn around any situation in life.

The highly-anticipated boxing rematch between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley is finally upon us, as the two faced off for one final time.

The two came face to face in a heated staredown at the ceremonial weigh-ins, as Paul and Woodley look to win the latest chapter in their rivalry. The two of them also engaged in heated trash talk during their faceoff after a relatively cordial week between the two.

Check out their weigh-in faceoff below.

Jake Paul Looks To Close The Book On Tyron Woodley Rivalry

Paul is looking to earn a second-straight win over Woodley after earning a split decision over him earlier this year. Woodley is still waiting to get his first boxing victory after losing his debut to Paul.

Overall, Woodley has lost five fights in a row in his boxing and MMA careers. He last earned a win in combat sports against Darren Till at UFC 228. Woodley, including many others, felt that he did enough to beat Paul the first time they fought.

Woodley got his rematch with Paul after Tommy Fury, the younger brother of Tyson Fury, withdrew from the original bout. Woodley had already been getting ready for a fight in January before he got the call from Paul’s team.

Woodley had allegedly been in talks to fight former UFC welterweight title challenger Dan Hardy in the UK before getting the call for the Paul rematch. After their first bout, Woodley got the “I love Jake Paul” tattoo after the two agreed on conditions for a rematch.

Now, the two polarizing boxers will square off in the ring one more time as each looks to get back to their winning ways. Paul is undefeated in his boxing career to this point.

The Paul vs. Woodley 2 card can be watched on Saturday via Showtime PPV, with the main card beginning at 9 p.m.ET/6 p.m. PT.

Colby Covington won’t be paying any attention to Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley 2 this Saturday.

In the main event of a Showtime pay-per-view in Tampa at the Amalie Arena on Saturday, Paul and Woodley will be running it back. The two fought back in August where Paul won by split decision, but Woodley rocked the YouTuber-turned-boxer badly and nearly finished him. Now, ahead of the rematch, the tagline is “Leave No Doubt.”

Although the original fight was Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury, the Woodley rematch is as if not more intriguing. Yet, for Covington, he has no interest in seeing the fight again and has informed the YouTuber that his “son’ Woodley was not granted his permission to attend this event.

“The thing about that, you know, is Snake Paul knows that I didn’t sign off on my son Tyron Woodley to go out there and fight, but he went out there and he should have won that first fight, but obviously he was paid off to not finish Jake Paul,” Covington said to Submission Radio. “I’m not signing off on the second fight, Jake Paul, to let my son Tyron Woodley come back. No one cares about it, the fight’s on a week’s notice ’cause Tyson Fury pulled out or, whatever, that boxer over in the UK.”

Colby Covington and Tyron Woodley have a documented history together. After a feud that ran for years, the two finally met in the Octagon last year, where Covington picked up the dominant victory.

Although Jake Paul has a massive following and does sell, Colby Covington certainly has a point that the rematch with Tyron Woodley is not as hyped. Part of that is due to the fact the fight was made on short notice.

Regardless, count Covington as one of many MMA fighters who won’t be tuning into Paul-Woodley 2 on Saturday night in Tampa on Showtime.

Jake Paul’s Rise To Prominence

The YouTuber shocked everyone when he decided to become a professional boxer in 2020.

Since turning over Paul has picked up four wins but is yet to face anyone who has a background in the sport.

Paul made his debut against fellow internet celebrity AnEsonGib, knocking him out in the first round.

Next up, ‘The Problem Child’ squared off against former NBA player, Nate Robinson, on the undercard of Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. Paul scored a spectacular second-round KO that went viral and triggered calls for the 24-year-old to step up his level of competition.

After that, Paul faced a real fighter for the first time when he boxed Ben Askren. The former Bellator and ONE Championship titlist was an elite-level MMA fighter in his day but was widely regarded as one of the worst strikers in the sport. He’d also been retired due to injury for a couple of years before Paul knocked him out inside one round.

Last time out, Paul endured his toughest test to date when he fought Askren teammate and recently released UFC fighter, Woodley. ‘The Chosen One’ was until recently competing against the best in the world and despite appearing to be past his peak was viewed by many as the man to end Paul’s hype train. ‘T-Wood’ rocked Paul in the fourth round but was never able to really get going in the fight and ultimately fell to an embarrassing split decision loss against the former Disney star.

The Road To Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley 2

Post-fight, Paul agreed to rematch Woodley if he honoured the tattoo bet they made before the bout. The UFC legend was supposed to get “I love Jake Paul” tattooed on his body but hesitated. Paul had already moved on to another opponent by the time Woodley followed through on his promise.

‘The Problem Child’ was supposed to face Tommy Fury who is best known for starring in reality show Love Island, he is also the half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The young Fury would’ve been the first boxer Paul has ever face and a tough one at that having secured seven wins during his short career in the ring.

Unfortunately, Fury was forced out of his fight with Paul after he suffered brokens ribs and a chest infection during camp. In stepped Woodley who insists he has been training for his rematch with Paul for at least two months.

Our Official Pick For Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley 2

Going into this fight Paul is the considerable favourite at odds of -250 and Woodley is a big underdog at +195.

We believe these are somewhat off and this fight is a lot closer than the bookmakers are giving it credit for.

Ultimately though, we will be backing Paul to make it 2-0 against Woodley.

We’ve made this pick for a few reasons. Firstly, despite everything, it’s becoming clear Paul does have some boxing skills and at 24-years-old he is likely to get better with each and every camp he partakes in.

Our main issues though lie with Woodley and his preparation for this fight. ‘The Chosen One’ claims to have been in camp since September but we’re not sure if that is true. Even if he had he won’t have been training with the intensity needed for an eight-round boxing match.

Also, Woodley is 40 years old and way past his prime at this point. For years now he’s been talking a big game without backing it up in the ring or in the Octagon. We expect to see the same shot-shy Woodley we have seen for a while now. Only this time he won’t have the gas tank to go the distance and could well be stopped by Paul on Saturday night.

Pardon the pun, but Tyron Woodley has perfectly played his hand with Jake Paul.

After losing to Paul in their first fight in August, Woodley agreed to follow through on a bet that saw him get an “I Love Jake Paul” tattoo in exchange for an immediate rematch. Regardless, it initially appeared that this would not happen, as the YouTuber was slated to fight Tommy Fury. However, the former welterweight champ stepped up on just a few weeks’ notice to replace Fury after a rib injury had him removed from the December 18th contest.

Ahead of the rematch, Tyron Woodley made it clear that he was not worried about having a constant reminder of losing the first Jake Paul fight on his finger, and now we know why.

Tyron Woodley Making “I Love Jake Paul” Tattoo Dissappear

Speaking to Morning Kombat at the open workouts on Wednesday, T-Wood revealed that the tattoo has almost completely faded away, something that regularly happens to tattoos on hands that are not taken care of properly.

“I purposely did it to troll the troll,” Woodley said (h/t Mirror UK). “Anybody who has a tattoo on the inside of their hand, or a tattoo artist knows it fades. I got it on the finger that means the opposite of love, I put it on that finger but I knew it was going to wear down. Taking showers, washing your hands, boxing, battle ropes, turf – I didn’t want to walk around with his name on me for the rest of my life.

“I agreed not to have it removed, I agreed to have it permanent, but I never felt I lost the fight anyway, so I wasn’t super psyched about getting it,” Woodley added. “It wasn’t something I mapped out and had all this work into it.”

Well, there is no denying that what Tyron Woodley did ended up working out for him in the long run. Not only did he get the Jake Paul rematch that he wanted, but he also does not have to worry about having this embarrassing tattoo for the rest of his life.
