Jake Paul has offered Tyron Woodley a rematch if he gets a permanent tattoo that says: "I love Jake Paul."
The former UFC champion dropped a split decision against the YouTube star in Cleveland, but was quick to immediately demand a rematch, per Daily Mail.
Paul faced real adversity for the first time since becoming a boxer, however, the referee did not score a knockdown against him despite being thrown to the ropes.
His controversial crossover into boxing remains undefeated in a fourth fight despite not finding a knockout for the first time. Paul had not previously been to the end of the second round in any of his past fights.
After the decision was announced, Woodley said to Paul, per Independent: "You are the one that got wobbled, almost sent through the ropes.
"If these ropes weren't 7ft 2in, you'd have gone through the ropes. I landed the power punches."
To which Paul replied: "You had your opportunity, you had your chance. I was nothing but respectful to you now. If you get the tattoo, 'I love Jake Paul', let's run it back."
Woodley was quick to accept the terms, snapping back and shaking Paul’s hand: "Bet, let’s go!"
Woodley said on BT Sport Box Office: "Me and Jake need to run it back. I want a rematch. I felt like I won.
"I hit him and the ropes held him up. I landed more power shots."
Paul said: "Get the tattoo and we will run it back. I've got a tattoo artist here!"
He added later, per Sky News: "He needs to get a tattoo quickly or we will find another opponent. Put it on his Instagram. A permanent tattoo. Then we can talk about it."
Speaking in another post-fight interview, Paul said: "It was a tougher fight than I expected, my legs felt weird since the locker room. I don't know what's wrong with me.
"He's a Hall of Famer, he had a good fight, he came in shape. I have a lot of respect for him. There's been a lot of s*** talk, apologies to his team if they were disrespected. This is a dream come true, I want to cry but I'm a little tired.
"He hit me with one shot all fight, it was a good shot and he had more shots, (but) there was only one real shot. I got eight rounds under my belt, all my previous opponents went in one minute. I'm doing things no-one has done."
