Jake Paul responds to Tyson Fury's crude chants ahead of Tommy Fury fight

Jake Paul has responded to Tyson Fury chant that he is a 'p----' by uploading a video of himself conducting the crowd.

Paul will step into the ring with the Gypsy King's younger brother Tommy Fury on August 6 after their December 2021 bout was postponed when Tommy had to pull out due to injury. The two will now meet eight months later after months and months of verbal jousting on social media and in interviews.

In a move to build up anticipation for the upcoming bout, Tyson Fury got a British crowd during his After Party tour to chant 'Jake Paul is a 'p----' and uploaded the short clip on social media. An online video star himself, Paul wasted no time in responding by dressing up like he's an orchestra conductor with two wooden spoons and can be seen leading the crowd along and mouthing along with the chant.

The video, made on TikTok and shared on Twitter, has over 150,000 views on the latter platform and came just days after Paul issued a $1million bet to Tyson Fury that he would win the bout against the younger Fury. The recently retired heavyweight champion accepted the fight but insisted that he be paid his winnings in 'escrow' and not 'crypto' after saying he doesn't believe the former YouTube star has that kind of money to his name.

Both Paul and Tommy Fury are undefeated in the ring, Paul boasting a 5-0 record and Fury an 8-0 record with both swapping careers in reality TV and social media for the squared circle.
