Jake Paul tried and failed to grab Tyson Woodley's cap during a tense weigh in ahead of their fight.

The YouTuber turned boxer appeared to try and pull off the same cap grab he managed on Floyd Mayweather ahead of his bout with Paul's brother Logan.

However, this time the 'gotcha' moment didn't quite come to fruition.

After the weigh in, Paul tucked into some fried chicken as he talked to press - opponent Woodley then walked across the stage towards his rival.

At this point, Paul flicked some chicken at him and attempted to make a grab for his hat but missed.

He told BT Sport: "Almost got his hat. He learned from Floyd!"

Paul seems fairly confident that he's going to continue his unbeaten streak, saying: "I couldn't have thought about a moment like this. I couldn't have dreamt it.

"That's why I was just looking around. I was like, 'how am I here?' This is the city that made me and to bring this one home is the perfect crescendo to my boxing career that's just starting out.

"Looking around and seeing friends and family, seeing this beautiful city, I'm just having fun. I'm trying to soak it all in because you don't get moments like this twice in life.

"Tyron said he's training like he's fighting Mike Tyson. Floyd Mayweather is training him and you can tell he's in shape. He's got the six pack back, he's looking good and he's not messing around.

"This is his biggest fight ever and the whole MMA community is counting on him to represent them and to get the 'W'.

"Unfortunately, that's not going to happen and when I beat him, there will be no excuses because he was being trained by Floyd Mayweather; because Jorge Masvidal said he was going to knock me out; because he took this camp and had a 14-week camp. He has no excuses.

"I love boxing. I fell in love with it. There's something about knocking someone out and cracking someone in the face. My whole life has been a fight.

"I never got anything handed to me so I feel like I'm at home. I feel like I was put on this earth to fight. And I like challenges. I'm driven by challenges."
