John Fury demands Jake Paul "pays up" on all-or-nothing bet with son Tommy

John Fury has told Jake Paul to honour his all-or-nothing deal with his son Tommy - despite no contract being signed.

Paul and Fury shook hands last week on bet which would see the loser of their fight walk away with nothing - meaning they would lose out on millions. But when Paul presented a contract to his rival, Fury refused to sign it.

But after Fury outpointed Paul on Sunday night, Fury Sr has now demanded Paul honours his handshake. Taking to Twitter, he released a video in which he said: " Jake Paul, moment of truth; again i say it, you lost the fight.

"We had a deal in front of millions of people worldwide and I expect you to honour that deal. You owe us some money; don't come back at me with contracts and all that bull crap, I'm a gypsy, I can't read and write properly, I don't understand that. We were over there to do a job, we done it and I'm sure you'll be a great guy and honour what you've done. Pay up."

The deal was first put on the table during the final press conference, with 23-year-old Fury urged to agree by his dad. 'The Problem Child' and 'TNT' later met in a more intimate setting in a video published via Paul's official YouTube channel, where the pair exchanged verbal jabs for close to 30 minutes.

"Bring out the contract, lawyers already drafted it up this week," proclaimed favourite Paul. "And like I said, if I can reiterate; if I win, I take all the money you're being paid. If you win, I double it up." The deal would have seen Paul pay Fury an extra £4million.

There was some hesitation on Fury's side to sign the deal in front of cameras, an understandable consideration given he hadn't even glanced over the paperwork. However, the eldest member of the Fury family stepped in to assure Paul the deal would be done.

"You've got my word as the head of the Fury clan, he will definitely sign that," said an interfering John, apparently to the chagrin of a bemused Paul. "You've got my word on that."
