WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has gone to new and extreme lengths to take shots at Jake Paul, as his war of words with the YouTuber-turned-boxer continues.
‘The Problem Child’ takes on Tyson’s brother Tommy Fury at Madison Square Garden on August 6, with the undefeated prospects set to put their records on the line.
Jake and Tommy were due to fight in December last year, but the Love Island star pulled out through injury, which led to Paul brutally taunting the Fury family online, and he’s yet to stop.
After entertaining a crowd of people at Sheffield City Hall on Sunday night, ‘The Gypsy King’ decided to give a bit back and uploaded a video to social media of his audience singing ‘Jake Paul is a p*****’.
The 25-year-old saw the funny side and edited the clip to include himself orchestrating the crowd in their x-rated chant against him with the caption: ‘Beethoven’s tenth symphony featuring Tyson Fury.’
This came just hours after the two men agreed to bet some serious money on the August 6 fight.
Fury had originally expressed his willingness to bet $100,000 on his baby brother to do the business against Paul, before the internet celebrity raised the stakes to $2million.
After some back-and-forth, both men agreed to bet $1 million on the fight, although Paul insisted that was ‘chump change’ for Tyson and didn’t necessarily show confidence in Tommy.
