Jake Paul tells Tommy Fury he needs to take on a "real fighter" as feud reignites

Jake Paul has implored Tommy Fury to take on "real fighters" instead of facing journeyman boxers as the pair's feud appears to be reigniting.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer is, ironically, often criticised for his opponent choice, with many claiming that even after this weekend's fight with Anderson Silva he won't have faced a "real boxer". However, he values the challenges of Tyron Woodley and Silva higher than any of Fury's eight opponents, despite them all having had multiple boxing fights.

Anthony Taylor, who Paul's team hand-picked for the Brit's American debut, is the only opponent of Fury's who had less than two professional bouts, although he did hold a 7-5 MMA record. But Paul feels that the calibre of fighter he is facing isn't good enough at this stage of career, and plans to prove his inadequacy when the pair square off in the ring next year.
