John Fury defends comments which left Tommy Fury's partner Molly-Mae Hague 'upset'

John Fury has defended his comments made about Jake Paul's girlfriend in the build-up to the pair's previously scheduled fight in December, saying that they were prompted by Paul's previous comments about son Tommy Fury's girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague.

Fury Sr said that he wanted 'nothing to do' with son Tommy's proposed rematch with Paul after the conduct of the American's camp before Tommy withdrew from the fight due to visa issues. John himself is unable to travel to the US following a conviction in 2011 but has still made lots of comments directed to the Paul camp in recent months.

The most infamous of which was a derogatory comment directed towards the partner of Paul, Julia Rose, in which he said he would "bend his girlfriend over and do her like a dog,". BT Sport were forced to apologise for the coarse language used by Fury Sr in this instance.
