YouTube sensation and amateur Jake Paul has continued his tired act of going after top combat sports athletes. Tyson Fury's brother, Tommy, wants Paul to put his money where his mouth is.
Paul went after Canelo Alvarez knocked out Anvi Yildirim to keep both the WBC and WBA super-middleweight world titles. He said Alvarez was throwing dirt on his name, later calling Canelo out and suggesting he was “ducking” certain fighters:
“Canelo’s mad,” Jake Paul said on social media, via talkSPORT. “He has this thing against me. Said I’m bad for the sport. I’m disrespecting it, which doesn’t make sense at all.”
Paul then turned his attention to Tommy Fury, who himself returned to the ring this past weekend in London and whose victory prompted big brother Tyson to suggest a fight with the YouTube sensation:
“I don’t want beef with Tyson Fury,” Paul said, via talkSPORT. “But if Tyson Fury took a s***, it would be his little brother.”
Tommy seems more than up for a scrap with Paul:
“So, I see somebody has something to say,” Fury said on Instagram, via talkSPORT. “Mr Jake Paul, I don’t need anybody to do my dirty work, I’m calling you out myself right now.
“You can fight me anytime, any place, anywhere – all you’ve got to do is get in touch.”
The younger brother of the “Gypsy King” delivered an impressive knockout victory over Scott Williams to improve to a perfect 5-0 on his career.
Fury himself is no stranger to showbiz, having appeared on Season 5 of the “Love Island” reality dating show. He might be talking himself into a fight with Jake Paul, though Paul first has to prove himself against former UFC welterweight Ben Askren this coming April.
