Jake Paul has berated Tommy Fury, accusing him of living off his brother’s name but not accomplishing anything in boxing.
The attack cane after the youtuber turned boxer was forced to reschedulle his fight, following Fury’s withdrawal. Paul says Fury “cracked and tried to find a way out” in withdrawing from their scheduled fight with an injury.
Fury pulled out, and will be replaced by Tyron Woodley on December 18, due to a severe chest infection and a broken rib – he said he was “heartbroken” and hoped to fight Paul in 2022.
Paul said: “For the Furys, it’s an embarrassment.
“They said: ‘We’d fight Jake with a broken rib, with our arms tied behind our backs’.
“When it came down to fighting, they pulled out.”Paul said about his rival Fury’s injury: “I question everything about that family.
“He has never accomplished anything himself. The only reason he is anything is because of his brother.’Tank’ Davis retains lightweight belt
“He’s had a silver spoon in his mouth for his entire life.
“He has got fame from his brother.
“He has never had a real opponent. His opponents were all meant to lose.
“I’m a scary guy to fight – the [trash talk], the pressure. All of this? He cracked and tried to find a way out.
“I truly believe that.”
Paul has won all four of his boxing matches since swapping YouTube for the ring and said he wasn’t keen about rearranging their fight for next year, he said: “It does. He didn’t show up to a press conference and now he’s pulled out of the fight.
“He has done a terrible job of promoting the fight. He isn’t as hype as everyone thought.
“I don’t like them. I don’t like anything to do with the family. They are sketchy, they are shady.
Today he said in a statement: “I am absolutely heartbroken that I have been forced to withdraw from my fight with Jake Paul.

“I can’t express how disappointed I am and I really do hope we can get this fight rescheduled in the New Year, I want this fight to still happen more than anything.
“I’m now regretfully putting my focus on recovery and a further reschedule date.”
Paul has now arranged a rematch with Tyron Woodley and added a £500k bonus into theeir contract in the event Woodley knocks him out.
He said on instagram: “When my team woke me up on Friday to tell me Tommy Fumbles was pulling out, I told them I’ll fight anyone on December 18th.”
“Troy, Trey, Trevor, Travis,… I don’t give a f*** who it is.
“Unlike the Fury’s, Tyron actually has some balls, is stepping in, and contractually he is getting an extra $500,000 if he knocks me out.
“First time I outboxed him. This time I’m gonna punish him and leave no doubt.
