Jake Paul's dad Greg has snubbed Tommy Fury by inviting his brother Tyson and dad John to the Paul house for Christmas.
YouTube star Paul will step into the ring with long-term enemy Fury in Saudi Arabia next weekend as the pair finally prepare to settle their lengthy dispute. During their time in opposition camps, both fighters families have become involved, including Fury's WBC heavyweight champion brother Tyson and their dad John.
The heavyweight star holds a good relationship with Paul whereas their father has regularly traded verbal barbs with Paul including when ripping his shirt off and demanding a confrontation in Dubai last November. Paul himself has regularly stated his personal respect for Tyson and his undefeated career, but has spoken out against the other two members of the Fury dynasty.
And this has now been emulated by his own dad Greg, who has since made a fresh offer to the rival family during Top Rank's inside look into Paul's training camp. He said while sitting with his son: "I like Tyson Fury. The dad's kind of a punk and a bully but I like his energy. Tommy is straight up a p***y.
"But here is my offer. Tyson and the Dad you are welcome to come to ours for Christmas and thanksgiving when we are together. Tommy I'm afraid you are going to have to stay at home because your wife will not want you to be here." Paul then shouted next to his dad: "Tommy you are not invited man."
Paul has become friendly with Fury's brother Tyson which saw the pair shake hands at the launch face-off for their fight in London last month. However Fury's father John has regularly criticised Paul's short boxing career and has been training his son to prepare for the clash in the Middle East.

A win for either Paul and Fury will likely completely derail the other's career in the sport, particular for Fury who will be looking to assert his status as the more natural boxer. However Fury's father John has admitted that he does like Paul, and has just been drawn into the rivalry against his son.
"When we [the Fury family] see other people like that we turn into fight mode," Fury Sr explained. "I've been fighting all my life on the streets, out of the streets and when anybody talks loud to me or tries to be clever I go into fight mode, that's what we do. But afterwards, the best man will win.
"I like the kid, I like him and his brother Logan, I like all of them YouTubers, they bring good stuff and at the end of the day I'm excited talking to them. Old people, like me, can get good vibes off young people and I love to see young people doing well in life and that's what the Pauls have done. As well as all the other YouTubers, KSI, Salt Papi, they're all great for the job aren't they?"
