JAKARTA - Tommy Fury has been criticized by Jake Paul for being "an embarrassing child" and "living in the shadow of his brother."
Jake repeatedly criticized the former Love Island contestant, Tommy, especially in 2021 when he claimed he benefited from the popularity of his brother, Tyson.
"It's not that serious, he's a younger brother who lives in the shadow of his brother, literally and symbolically," Jake told iFL TV, quoted by Marca, Thursday.
"He's smaller in everything, and the kid isn't even man enough to challenge me himself, he has to ask his brother to do that."
"It's very embarrassing. But hey, who knows? Maybe that fight will happen one day. It can be interesting."
Tommy's light heavyweight boxer replied to Jake by saying he didn't need anyone, let alone his brother, to criticize his opponents.
As for the heavyweight champion, Tyson believes Jake and his younger brother are on the same footing.
"Jake Paul can fight, I want you to know. I think they have almost the same level of experience. They both have some pro fights, Tommy has a limited amateur background, ten fights or something," said Tyson Fury.
"I think it will be a fair fight to be fair."
Jake and Tommy's duel plans have been canceled twice in late times. Since then, they have never been seen getting along. Promotor Frank Warren vowed to work hard for both boxers into the ring next year.
At the end of this month, Jake will compete against MMA icon Anderson Silva. After obtaining a boxing license, the former UFC star will seek to increase his unbeaten record to 6-0.
