Jake Paul appears to blame Tommy Fury fight delay on rival's unborn baby

Jake Paul has hinted that his grudge fight with Tommy Fury has been delayed due to the latter's unborn baby's due date this month.

Paul and Fury have finally agreed to stage a boxing showdown at a third attempt to settle their bitter rivalry after months of verbal barbs on social media. A fight had been set to happen on two previous occasions, with Fury first having to pull out with a broken rib before being unable to travel to the United States for their scheduled clash last August.

Fresh reports indicate the pair are set to do battle on February 25 after reaching a new agreement on terms for a showdown, but an official announcement has yet to be made. And Paul has posted a cryptic tweet following the delay, which reads: "Hold your horses. The man’s having a baby."
