"It is official. Tommy Fury is boxing’s biggest b---. He has pulled out of the fight. The Furys have pulled out of the fight due to a ‘medical condition.’ Who knows what the f--- is going on in that camp," Paul said.
"I couldn’t believe the news at first. It still doesn’t seem real. He fumbled the biggest bag of his life. Now he will be watching at home, paying me $60 instead of getting paid millions of dollars to fight me. I’ve fought with a broke nose. I’ve fought sick. Get the f--- over (it). This is boxing.
"It’s official. He was scared. I think the pressure got to him, the s--- talk got to him."

Paul said his team called Woodley’s camp to offer the rematch and he took it. Paul said he offered $500,000 extra if the former UFC champion could knock him out. Paul vowed to get the "crazy highlight reel knockout."
Paul won the first fight against Woodley in August via split decision. Woodley maintained he had won the match as Paul thought he would’ve won via unanimous decision.
