In case you didn't know, Tommy Fury is a professional boxer and the half-brother to heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. But he's also famous as a reality TV star for his appearance in Love Island Season 5. And now he's become Jake Paul's next 'target'.
It's easy to hate Jake Paul, he invites the attention, and he's great at trash talk. But he's being wise here - a fight against Tommy Fury would bring in a huge amount of money. And this hype build-up routine only makes the whole thing more exciting. But even for a Paul brother, being caught begging for a fight isn't a good look...
Jake Paul Begs Tommy Fury For A Fight
This all began after the Woodley fight. Jake Paul knew that Fury would be a candidate and so he's been making public offers to step into the ring. First $500,000 and then $1,000,000. Here's how Tommy Fury responded:

Infinitely more charming than Jake Paul. And what he said is exactly right:
Those kind of figures are very small for a match as big as this would be - serious offers would be multiple millions. What Jake is doing here is trying to make Fury look scared, but in fact, it's Jake who's getting cold feet.
Here was how Jake Paul responded:

Such an awful human being. Doesn't address Tommy's points, just turns personal and nasty instead. If you haven't guessed already, we're firmly team Tommy here.

When Will Jake Paul Fight Tommy Fury?
So far there's no fixed date in the calendar; Jake Paul will surely still be recovering from the Woodley fight (August 29). But as with all such fights, we can expect a slow but steady build-up over social media and probably a few stunts along the way.
Fans should go back and revisit Love Island season 5. The more embarrassing moments from Tommy Fury's appearances on the show will make great ammunition for Jake Paul and his team, and they'll be sure to use it over the coming months.
Oh, and in case you didn't know: Tyson Fury said that, if Tommy loses his fight against Jake, he should give up boxing. Considering Tommy is aiming for championship glory one day... we tend to agree with big brother Fury.
