Jake Paul has been called out by former UFC champion Tyron Woodley who has labelled the YouTuber-turned-boxer a "culture vulture" in a furious rant.

Woodley cornered ex-UFC contender Ben Askren in his first round defeat to Paul last month.

And it appears he wants to gain revenge by fighting 'The Problem Child' next.

Woodley, who reigned over the UFC welterweight division between 2016 to 2019, wants to face Paul - but he's not convinced the 24-year-old will accept the challenge, claiming he doesn't want to fight a "real puncher".

He told TMZ Sports: "Jake Paul is - well I guess we kind of recognise he came from Disney - but we're expecting him to be like this f**king macho macho man he's playing but he's calling out everybody but me.

"I'm the one with real smoke with you. At the end of the day, that was Ben's fight and I never want to take away the moment from Ben.

"That was his opportunity so everybody backstage is trying to get love and trying to get their name - almost the same way Jake took the shine away from Logan.

"They're just Culture Vultures. He would vulch the juice from his own damn flesh and blood. His cornerman trying to take the juice from him. His whole crew moves goofy. My dogs don't move like that.

"I was in the gym today in Miami training, looking around for Jake Paul, I ain't seen him nowhere. He ain't asked to fight me one time.

"He want to fight Dillon Danis who couldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight or Tyson Fury's cousin but he don't want to fight a real puncher.

"He wants to walk around and vulch from the culture and suck it dry and walk around and take shots with rappers and think you're a big shot fighter.

"Nah, come and get this smoke for real."

Woodley, 39, fought out his UFC contract in his last fight, suffering a submission loss to Vicente Luque at UFC 260.

It seems like he's prepared to return to action in the shape of a boxing bout against Paul.
