Jake Paul weighs in on war of words between Tyson Fury and Conor McGregor

Over the weekend Tyson Fury hit back at Conor McGregor, claiming that the Irish MMA fighter was a 'bully' following a since deleted tweet from McGregor.

The former multi-weight UFC champion claimed that Fury had 'bottled' a brawl at last year's Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders fight with Fury responding that 'people actually like me' and that McGregor was a 'bully'.

And now, Jake Paul has weighed in on the ongoing feud between the stars after McGregor tweeted, praising his agency Paradigm.

McGregor tweeted: "Congrats Paradigm Sports Management Agency! Number 1 and 2 highest paid on the UFC roster contractually. Myself and Izzy. An excellent feather in the cap of an amazing sports agency. @ParadigmSports! Congrats to all my team and a big congrats last night Israel.

And then Paul responded, calling McGregor out for not standing up for his colleagues in the UFC in terms of their healthcare, he tweeted: "Indeed well deserved for Izzy but but unfortunately Tyson Fury still makes more than both of you combined for fighting. Conor when you gonna start playing your part to get ALL fighters better pay and healthcare?"

Given Paul's ongoing war of words with Fury's brother, Tommy, it is a surprise to see him praise Fury but with McGregor in the firing line it could spark the possibility of a future fight between McGregor and Paul.

With Paul now coming in on the war of words between the stars, fans will be intrigued to see what happens next in what's happening between some of the biggest names in fighting.
