Tommy Fury inadvertently predicted the exact round Jake Paul would KO Tyron Woodley

Tommy Fury and his girlfriend Molly-Mae have been mocked by Jake Paul after correctly predicting the round his fight would finish in.

Whilst preparing to fight Paul on December 18, Fury was pictured with his girlfriend on Halloween holding up a "Round 6" banner.

The Brit would later pull out of the fight after suffering a broken rib in training and battling a bacterial infection.

Tyron Woodley replaced Fury and was brutally knocked out in the sixth round by Paul, marking his second win against the former UFC champion.

Paul's company Most Valuable Promotions have since trolled Fury for the prediction, writing: "Round was right".

The 24-year-old taunted Fury with a $1.2 million ringwalk outfit that featured a Union Jack and the message: "Hey Tommy, wish you could've been here but watching from a TV is cool too."

And Paul said that Fury was "lucky" to not have been in the ring with him last weekend.

"Tommy Fury is lucky he wasn't in there tonight because Tyron is way tougher, he has that experience and Tommy would have looked a lot worse than that and that was pretty bad," he said after the fight.

"It doesn't matter if they're a professional boxer or a five-time UFC champion, I don't care. I turned them all into memes, that s*** is going viral all over the internet and I'm ready to fight whoever.

"Massive pay-per-views, knocked out every person that I've fought, the only person that's as active as me is Canelo [Alvarez], and he's 50+ fights in."

Paul's rematch with Woodley marked his fourth fight in just 13 months and he now wants to take some time away from the sport to have a "real vacation".

'The Problem Child' is unsure whether he will fight another UFC star such as Nate Diaz in his return or a professional boxer.

Woodley made no excuses for his knockout loss and said people should start putting "respect" on Paul's name.

And Paul also praised his adversary for stepping up on short notice to take the fight.

"This guy is a legend, don't take anything from his career as a UFC champion and respect him for taking this fight on two weeks' notice," he continued.

"Because Tommy Fury is a b**** and he backed out of the fight, this is a real fighter, a real dog and a warrior. That's a tough fighter; a legend."

"It was a tough fight, the blood was getting in my eye from when he elbowed me. He threw me on the ground, fought dirty, head-butted, but it is what it is."
