- Paul and Fury are finally due to go head-to-head in Saudi Arabia on February 26
Jake Paul berated Tommy Fury during Tuesday night’s press conference and accused the 23-year-old of living off his brother’s name after being ‘spoon fed’ his entire life.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer took part in a solo press conference in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday night to promote his fight with Fury on February 26.
Paul took the opportunity to mock Fury – saying the British boxer only got famous from Love Island and that he is desperate to pick up paychecks so that his girlfriend Molly-Mae isn’t ‘earning all the money in their relationship’.
Paul also accused ‘piggy-backing’ off Tyson Fury‘s fame and getting into boxing because he didn’t know what else to do. However, Fury promised to put the 23-year-old in his place later this month.
Paul said: ‘That kid [Tommy Fury] has never been tested. He’s never been in a hard fight. His combined record of opponents is 20 wins and 200 loses.

‘He’s never been eight rounds. He’s never been in there with a dog. I have something to prove. I have two chips on my shoulder.
‘People say I have a chip on my shoulder but I actually have two chips. He’s been spoon fed his entire life.
‘He’s piggy-backed off his brother. He got into the business because that’s what he was supposed to do. He didn’t know of anything else to do.
‘Then he got famous off some reality TV programme and has been riding the wave ever since trying to get paychecks so Molly isn’t the one making all the money in the relationship.
Paul finished by saying: ‘I am going to show him on February 26 that this is the hurt business. He’s not going to like this sport after I am done with him.
Paul also took the opportunity to highlight the fact Fury had failed to turn up to the press conference on Tuesday night.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer decided to face-off with Fury’s poster before squaring up with Derek Chisora instead.
Meanwhile, prior to the press conference, Paul shared a video on social media claiming his ‘back hurt from carrying the promotion’ for the fight later this month.

Paul started the video by saying: ‘Make sure you witness the truth on February 26,’ before cutting himself off and clutching his back in fake anguish.
When asked if he was okay, Paul continued: ‘My back just hurts so much from carrying the promotion [for the fight].’
He then turned to the camera and said with a furious look in his eye: ‘Where you at Tommy? We’re out here hustling, selling the fight, you unprofessional swine!’
Fury took to Twitter to reply to Paul. He said: ‘The press conference can wait until I get to Saudi Arabia you fool. I’ll be there on the 16th. Three weeks and it’s over you big stiff sweaty goth.’
