In 2021, Paul made a series of mocking the former star of the reality show Love Island. At that time, the American boxer called Tommy the child who only hid behind his brother Tyson's brother.
“Nothing is serious at all. In a beautiful way, he is just a small baby hiding under the shadow of the British successful,” Paul told ifl TV. “He is not enough to grow up or even too immature to dare to face me. He had to ask his brother to face himself.”
“But who knows? Maybe the game will take place someday. It sounds interesting,” the 25 -year -old boxer added.
These speeches broke out the battle between the two boxers. After that, both Tommy's father and coach or the boss Warren worked to prepare for a glove. The Heavyweight Tyson champion has predicted that the American Youtuber will be a competitor to his younger brother.
“Jake Paul is not bad. I think he and my younger brother have the same level. They have experienced some big matches. I think this will be a balanced match,” Tyson Fury said.
However, the upper stage between the two boxers then twice broke in the last minute for different reasons. The first time was because Tommy was injured after being trained by Tyson's brother. At the second time, the Fury brother continued to have a visa problem and could not fly to the US. However, the boss Frank Warren vowed to do everything to make the glove between Paul and Fury officially taking place next year.
