Jake Paul just got called out by boxing icon Tyson Fury and NBA star Shaquille O'Neal on Instagram to put pen to paper and agree to fight Fury's half-brother Tommy.
Watch the clip below, featuring several members of the Fury family, Shaq, and Fury's trainer SugarHill Steward:

The sports stars claim to be willing to put up any kind of money necessary to make the fight happen. But just a few hours later, Paul responded with his own message on Instagram, posting a story calling out their “desperation” in trying to make the fight happen:
The internet star didn't hold back, as Paul went on a lengthy rant to fire back at the call out:
“The desperation is seeping through the pores of the Fury family. It’s quite embarrassing,” Paul said. “The heavyweight champion of the world is on Instagram talking about Jake Paul, begging me to fight his brother!
“Listen Tommy, focus on your fight in a couple of weeks that no one even knows about by the way. This clip will be the biggest promotion for your entire f****** fight.
“Until then just leave Shaq out of this. I already knocked an NBA player so leave Shaq out of this. You guys are desperate. Tommy, you fight for $100,000, you have some ladders to climb to get onto my level unfortunately my friend. I’m not talking about this any more. Peace out. F*** you guys!”
Jake Paul finished his message with a clincher: a screenshot of a DM sent by Tommy Fury's girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague back in 2018, asking Paul to meet up with her. Hague claims that the screenshot was fake and clearly photoshopped:
Jake Paul, most known for having over 20 million subscribers on YouTube, has slowly transitioned to a boxing career over the years. He famously knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson, then followed that up with an equally surprising KO of former MMA star Ben Askren.
With all this mudslinging going on, it seems more than likely that a fight date is a matter of when and not if.
