Tommy Fury told Jake Paul he had “nothing but love and respect” for him, despite the many months of verbal jousting.
While most boxing rivalries do become personal at some stage, Paul and Fury’s hatred was a lot more venomous than most other feuds. The YouTuber repeatedly mentioned Fury’s other half Molly Mae during their exchanges in interviews and on social media.
But while that is normally enough for a person to be in someone’s bad books forever, Paul even leaked the news of Mae and Fury’s baby before they had a chance to confirm the news. Yet, after the match, the fierce rivals were still on amicable terms.

“I have nothing but love and respect for you brother,” Fury said to Paul after his split decision victory over the former YouTuber. “It was a great build-up and a great fight”.
Before the fight, Fury was asked what Mae’s reaction after Paul had told everybody about their new child. However, Fury took it in his stride and insisted people already knew at the time.

“This guy is all the way overseas and he’s putting out a statement, so are 20 million other people,” Fury said, when asked about the situation. “He doesn’t know anything about our private life. Me and Molly both looked at that like ‘okay, sweet’.”
Of course, Paul didn’t stop there as he repeatedly brought up Mae, insinuating Fury was a failure in comparison to her. “He has kind of been forced into this by the fans, the media, his family and probably Molly,” Paul said on BT Sport before the fight.

“She is probably sitting there going, ‘Yo I just had a baby (daughter, Bambi) I can’t be the one to pay the bills the entire time’. He is going to be paid 20k a fight, minus taxes. This is his biggest payday and he is going to actually be able to support his family a little bit if he gets a good wealth manager and invests his money properly.
“Molly is probably like, ‘yeah bro I’m tired of being the breadwinner of this relationship’. You’re gonna see his girlfriend cry once I knock him the f*** out and he’s unconscious.”
