Jake Paul claims "bum" John Fury is living through his sons after failed career

Jake Paul has claimed that "bum" John Fury is living off of his son's after "failing" during his own boxing career.

Paul will face Fury's son Tommy in the boxing ring on August 6 in a rescheduled bout, with the British star currently undefeated in the early stages of his boxing career. Fury Sr had a heavyweight career of his own which spanned eight years and involved 13 professional bouts, in addition to several unlicensed bare-knuckle events.

He held a record of 8-4-1 as a professional but suffered a brutal knockout at the hands of Henry Akinwande when stepping up in an eliminator for the British title. Paul has accused Tommy of "thinking" he can compete at the same level as his brother Tyson who is considered one of the best heavyweights in the modern era.
