Notorious YouTuber-cum-boxer Jake Paul took a shot at Tommy Fury, pro-boxer and brother of the legendary Tyson Fury. Jake's long-time rivalry with Tommy began as early as last year, with the duo expected to share the ring in December. However, the UK boxer had to pull out after sustaining an injury. They agreed to fight again earlier this year, but this time, Tommy said he was not allowed to travel to the US.
Since the canceled bouts, Jake has derided Tommy for "pulling out" of the fights. Seeing a social media post about Tommy's pregnant girlfriend, Molly Mae, the American social media star tweeted:
Even though the duo had a contractual agreement earlier this year, their fight wasn't to be. Unfortunately for the American, his replacement fighter, Hasim Rahman Jr., also pulled out a week before the match as he was unable to make the required weight.
Tommy has since been rather inactive on social media. However, he did give an explanatory video detailing his inability to travel to the US due to an embargo laid on his father. Jake went on to troll the Englishman by calling him "Tommy Fumbles."
Jake was also on a Facetime call with Tommy last week, where he urged the latter to organize the fight.
His latest dig at the UK-based boxer received a lot of likes and comments on Twitter. It remains to be seen if Tommy Fury will clap back at Jake for being derisive towards himself and his pregnant girlfriend.
Since the canceled matches, Jake has been in talks with British content creator and boxer JJ "KSI". The latter made his return to the boxing ring in August at the Misfits Boxing event, but prior to the day of the event, KSI's original opponent pulled out. Jake used it as an opportunity to resurface their beef, which started in 2018.
