Tommy Fury's dad John has admitted that he is actually a fan of YouTuber-turned-boxer brothers Logan and Jake Paul, and is "playing a game" with the American.
Fury and Paul will square off on February 26 after years of needle, including multiple altercations between the fighting family and the social media star. As recently as November, a brawl almost erupted when John and Tommy both attempted to go after Paul at ringside after his grating commentary on the Brit's exhibition bout with Rolly Lambert.
But in an exclusive chat with Mirror Fighting as an ambassador for Freebets.com, the Fury patriarch has admitted that he truthfully has no ill-will towards the Pauls. In fact, he believes that he gets a good energy from being around young fighters for major events such as the upcoming battle in Saudi Arabia.
