John Fury has revealed he confronted Jake Paul in a bid to tempt the YouTuber into a scrap.
Paul was ringside for long-term rival Tommy Fury's recent exhibition with late-replacement Rolly Lambert in Dubai. The YouTube star Paul was unimpressed with Fury's display in the ring and hurled abuse at the British star from his position in the commentary booth.
Fury's father became incensed with Paul's comments and joined his son in demanding the YouTuber climb into the ring, before ripping his shirt off and attempting to duck under the ropes. Despite insults being traded, a confrontation fizzled out with security able to step in to diffuse the threatening situation.
