A stuttering Jake Paul was left speechless for an uncomfortable amount of time when opponent Tyron Woodley questioned his background during an awkward face-to-face interview featuring journalist Ariel Helwani.

The YouTube personality will come up against former UFC champion Woodley on Sunday night in Cleveland.

Paul comes into the much-anticipated bout with convincing wins against AnEsonGib, Nate Robinson and Ben Askren under his belt, while Woodley hasn't won a bout since 2018, having lost his UFC welterweight championship to Kamaru Usman in 2019 and suffered three defeats since.

Despite some poor results in the Octagon of late, a confident Woodley thinks he will come out victorious in the third round and, based on footage of him working on the pads, amongst other drills, it's clear he has the potential to end Paul's winning streak.

The 39-year-old certainly fancies his chances and in the build-up to his boxing debut, he has never shied away from confrontation with the often-confident Paul. In fact, in a recent face-to-face interview on SHOWTIME Sports, Woodley appeared to get the upper hand.

You can see what happened below.

Here's how the conversation played out between both men.

Woodley: "What are you wearing? It's embarrassing you've got five necklaces. You've never seen hustle. How many people in your neighbourhood dress like that?"

Paul: "You act like you are from the street."

Woodley: "How many people in your neighbourhood dress like that? I'm from Ferguson, Missouri - the murder capital of the world."

Paul: "Tyron Woodley, the softest thing from Missouri."

Woodley: "Where are you from?"

Paul: "Tyron Woodley, the softest thing from Missouri."

Woodley: "How many people from your neighbourhood dress like that? Answer my questions, I'm from Ferguson. How many people from your neighbourhood dress like you? How many rap videos have you watched?"

Paul: "........."

TW: "Exactly. Uh... Uh... Uh... Culture. That's what I am. I lived it. Rapping about my lifestyle. You're a f***ing joke and you are trying to vulch from it. You are going to get hit by a whole bunch of culture."

Who will come out victorious on Sunday night? Paul or Woodley?
