Jake Paul still doubts that Tommy Fury will fight him.
The feud will take place in Saudi Arabia later this month after two failed attempts to stage the fight and Paul admits he won’t be fully convinced until he gets in the ring with the ‘Love Island’ star.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer told reporters: “Yeah, look, a part of me is definitely still skeptical [Fury will fight].
“And it’s scary and annoying. And he didn’t show the face-to-face that we should be doing now [at the press conference], lonely. And the child is not necessarily trustworthy. But the money was good, man, for him. Therefore, he will be dumb [to not fight].”
Paul took a dig at his opponent by suggesting that Fury’s partner, influencer Molly-Mae Hague, earns more money than him and also points out that he needs the money now that the couple have welcomed a girls together.
The American fighter said: “And I think he is probably tired of Molly making all the money in the relationship. He has a child now, so he has to help pay for some diapers.”
Paul also revealed that he has former UFC fighter Mike Perry on standby for a fight in the event that Fury pulls out of the fight for the third time.
The social media star said: “We’ve got Mike Perry on standby. Come on Mike Perry! Yeah, he’s ready to jump, if Tommy pulls up.
