YouTuber Jake Paul has blasted his way to 3-0 in his boxing career, but his next opponent may show he’s bitten off more than he can chew.

YouTuber Jake Paul has been accused of being “scared” after he avoided eye contact with his next opponent, former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.

The social media star is set for his fourth professional boxing fight when he takes on former UFC welterweight champ Woodley.

The two went face-to-face in a press conference announcing the scrap – but Paul kept losing his focus.

The 24-year-old appeared edgy and kept looking to his right, as Woodley kept his focus on his opponent.

After the head-to-head Woodley, 39, tweeted: “You’re already scared s***less.

“I don’t have to slap you. But the moment I walk away after I knock you out, the world will rejoice!”

And many people commented on the video that was shared on YouTube by Hopps Plug.

One read: This is the moment Jake knew he had picked the wrong opponent.”

Jake Paul was looking anywhere but Woodley.

Another added that ‘Tyron is going to melt Jake’, while Donovan Driggers wrote that he ‘feels bad for the kid’ as ‘all he wanted was to be like Conor McGregor’.

‘Tyron got this easy’, ‘the moment reality kicked in’ and ‘I bet Jake is going to cancel this fight’ were some of the other comments on the clip.

Another said: “Kinda feel sorry for Jake, he looked really humble and scared.”

Paul and Woodley will clash on August 28.

The blue touch paper for their fight was lit moments before Paul’s demolition of Woodley’s good friend Ben Askren in April.

The pair were involved in a heated back-end-forth in the dressing room that left Woodley fuming.

And their subsequent slanging match on social media has teed up the interesting grudge match, which, on paper, is the toughest fight of Paul’s young boxing career.

Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley came face-to-face.

But not everyone thinks that Paul is over his head with podcaster, comedian and UFC commentator Joe Rogan saying Paul has the power to knock people out.

“They got famous first and then turns out they can fight!” Rogan said on The Joe Rogan Experience. “Especially Jake. That kid can knock people the f*** out. He knows how to punch …

“He’s only got a couple of fights. Here’s how you have to look at him. Look at him like any other guy whose only got a couple of fights. If you saw a guy who was coming up and he didn’t have an amateur career and he’s only got a couple of fights, you’d go, ‘Man, he’s got some promise.’”

That being said, Rogan said that Woodley would be a formidable opponent for the 3-0 Paul, and would worry anyone with his one-punch power he used in the UFC.

“He (Woodley) punches really f***ing hard,” continued Rogan. “And when he doesn’t have to worry about wrestling, doesn’t have to worry about getting as tired, and can pick his shots, he’ll be the most dangerous guy Jake Paul has ever fought, for sure.

“But, it doesn’t necessarily means that he wins. I think Jake Paul can f***ing box. If you look at that Nate Robinson fight, I know Nate Robinson didn’t know what he was doing, but the way he landed those punches; he cracked him and knocked him out moving backwards. He can move backwards and then plant. He doesn’t have big wind up movements. His brother has more wind up shots. His brother was throwing more windmill-y type arm-punches. Jake throws things straight and hard. They’re much more dangerous.”
