Tempers erupted shortly after Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley completed their face-off for this weekend's Showtime Boxing event.

For the most part, the press conference was relatively civil compared to the previous conferences involving Jake Paul.

But as the face-off finished and the focus switched to pundits Bryan Campbell and Luke Thomas, the crowd behind them appeared to suddenly descend into chaos.

Early reports appear to indicate that Jake Paul's entourage was in some way harassing or verbally attacking Tyron Woodley's mother.

In a clip posted by combat sports journalist Helen Yee, Woodley's sister can be seen laying into some of Jake Paul's team in defense of her mother. Tyron Woodley can also be seen in the background being held back by security.

Helen Yee also posted a video showing Tyron Woodley being held back by security, asking a member of his own team to go and back up his sister. A policeman can also be seen holding Woodley back.

MMA journalist Ariel Helwani later posted another clip of Tyron Woodley. This time the former UFC welterweight champion seemed visibly angry. He was escorted past Luke Thomas and Bryan Campbell, and can be heard shouting:

"Don't even look my way!"

This was presumably aimed at Jake Paul. However, it is worth noting that the press conference footage did appear to show Jake Paul standing on the other side of the room whilst the incident occurred.

Footage posted to FightHype's YouTube channel also shows Tyron Woodley demanding an apology for the disrespect shown to his mother.

One member of Jake Paul's coaching team did interact with Woodley, promising to speak to the rest of the team about the incident.
