Taking to Instagram on Thursday -- four days after he beat former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley via split decision in a boxing match at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse -- the YouTube star and Westlake native said farewell to Cleveland with a series of pictures of himself and his friends on the shore of Lake Erie.

"Goodbye Cleveland.. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to comprehend how crazy this past week was, but thank you to everyone single person who came out to support.. from my neighbors, old coaches, and best friends," Paul wrote. "Y’all are f------ amazing and this is one of the greatest places in the world… I grew up here never thinking I could accomplish anything to coming back home and selling out one of the craziest fights that has ever happened… wow.. Don’t let anyone tell you something isn’t possible and surround yourself with people who want to see you WIN… I love y’all… CLE till I die.."

As for what's next for Paul, the 24-year-old is considering a rematch against Woodley -- on the condition that the 39-year-old former UFC star gets an "I love Jake Paul" tattoo, as had been agreed upon before Sunday's fight. Paul has also teased potential fights against UFC megastar Conor McGregor and even his own brother, Logan Paul, but isn't committed to any specific path.

"We'll see who's next," said Paul, who advanced his boxing record to 4-0 with his win over Woodley. "I've been fighting for 18 months now. I haven't got my hair cut in two years. I haven't stopped for a second. I'm just going to figure out what's next."
