Jake Paul has taken a swipe at Tommy Fury following his withdrawal from the upcoming bout with Darren Till.
The fight, set to take place in Manchester, was called off by Fury after Till threatened to use MMA techniques if he found himself behind. “I can’t believe I’m writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18,” Fury announced on social media, reports the Mirror.
“For the one simple reason being that Darren has stated over and over that he does not want to abide by professional boxing rules and that if he is losing the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics.”

Fury continued: “I am a professional boxer, I have been out of the ring for over a year and I wanted this to be a great BOXING fight for the fans. I have wasted weeks in training camp. We are working hard to get a new opponent and date. I promise to get a better opponent and better fight for you guys. Good news around the corner.”
In response, Paul, who recently defeated Mike Tyson but lost to Fury last year and has been eager for a rematch ever since, couldn’t resist reacting with a taunting: “Hahahaha” on social media.
Till swiftly fired back at Fury, stating: “Tommy Fury you are the biggest s***house I have ever met in my life do not ever call yourself a fighter again. I was selling the fight to make me and you more money you absolute empty head fighting family my a** you and ur dad s***houses.
“I don’t need to throw kicks you was getting knocked spark out you divvy we was making bank on this fight cos of me not you I was building It you should be fighting and should be thanking me… over and out.. no one wants to fight me… Jake Paul what are you up to you big fat dummy?”
In a video accompanying the post, Till said: “What’s happening everyone? I’ve just got to the gym, about to do me sparring this morning and I’ve just been shown that Tommy Fury has put up a f***ing post saying that he’s not not fighting because I threatened to kick him in the head. I said I’d kick him in the head at the press conference as a mental warfare tactic.

“And since then, I haven’t said anything else. I’ve been hard at work in the gym and preparing for this boxing match with him on January 18. I said to everyone that Tommy was going to pull out regardless of anything.”
He continued: “I f***ing knew it since the press conference. So, now it’s confirmed what I said, he’s a s***house, his family are s***houses and now Tommy’s not fighting. I’ve been hard at work, boxing for two years, haven’t thrown a kick in two years. I threw one kick on a video as a mental warfare tactic.
“Never in a million years would I throw a headkick in a fight that’s only boxing rules. I stick to the rules, I abide by the rules throughout my whole career. So now, I’ve gone to the gym to do my sparring this morning and Tommy Fury has pulled out. Tommy Fury, you are the biggest s***house I have ever come across… you are not a man.”
