Tommy Fury slams ‘comedian’ Jake Paul for custom-made belt but will give rival ‘a good hiding twice’ amid rematch clause
TOMMY FURY refused to rule out a rematch with “comedian” Jake Paul – eyeing the chance to give his rival “a good hiding twice”.
Fury is set to finally fight Paul following two previous postponements, due to injury and US visa issues.

The pair have rescheduled their celebrity grudge match for Sunday in Saudi Arabia.
Paul, 26, has a rematch clause included in his contract, meaning he has the right to fight again if he loses.
Fury, 23, told SunSport: “At the end of the day, we go to February 26th and then we can deal with whatever comes after that.
“But, if Jake Paul wants a good hiding twice, I’ll happily give it to him.”
The stakes in Saudi were raised after the WBC revealed the winner will earn a world ranking.
If the victor emerges with a top 15 rating, they are eligible to contest for a title.
Paul has been bullish in achieving his lofty goals of becoming a champion and even crowned himself the Most Valuable boxer.
The YouTuber-turned-prizefighter has a multicoloured belt in honour of himself, something Fury has no desire of claiming.
He told SunSport: “I’ll chuck it on the floor or chuck it in the bin, one of the two.
“I don’t want that, it looks like a ten-year-old’s put it together and given it to him as a ‘love you’ present.
“Let him carry that around thinking it’s a WBC strap, but we all know what he is. Jake Paul is a comedian.”
