Jake Paul fakes back injury from "carrying" Tommy Fury ahead of fight

Jake Paul has joked he is suffering from a back injury after "carrying" the promotion for his upcoming bout with Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.

The YouTube star has had a years-long feud with Fury, including two cancelled fights between the pair since the end of 2021. They have finally agreed to fight on February 26 in Riyadh and went head-to-head earlier this year in London, but the Brit has since pulled out of multiple media obligations.

They are due to have a launch press conference in Saudi Arabia this afternoon, but Fury has refused to show up insisting that he will do more promotion once he arrives later this month. And Paul has branded him a "swine", joking that his back is sore from holding the promotion for the bout.
