Jake Paul shows true colours with response to Tommy Fury's call-out

Jake Paul appears to be playing mind games with Tommy Fury having refused to respond to his rival's latest call-out.

Fury returned to the ring last Friday when he outpointed little-known Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest over six rounds. It was Fury's first fight for 18 months and just his second since he defeated Paul in 2023. Fury, whose brother is former heavyweight champion Tyson, took the opportunity after his win to call out Paul for a second meeting.

"'s a b**** and he's running scared," Fury declared. "Hey, Jake, the hand is fixed now, the hand is fixed. I fought a guy in here tonight who has had over 100 amateur fights. He's experienced as f*** and he's as tough as teeth. If Jake Paul wants to step inside this ring, I guarantee you next time I will knock him spark out. I've had two years out of the ring, this is me after two years. I will knock that bum out whenever he wants it."

"I want to say hello to my beautiful baby girl Bambi at home, my sweetheart Molly, she'll always be mine forever. And I want to dedicate this to my mother and father because without them I wouldn't be breathing, I wouldn't be here. The reason I am here today is my mother and father. I will love them until the day I die and I owe them everything.

"I've been through a hell of a lot these last two years. I've been though things that tear men down, drunk, alcoholic; I lost my family for a little bit. But I've turned things around, I've gone from being low to being on top of the world again."
