John Fury makes blunder while issuing "stretcher" threat to Jake Paul

John Fury falsely claimed Anderson Silva was stopped by Jake Paul during a recent video, in which he threatened the YouTuber would leave his next fight "on a stretcher".

The American will face Fury's son Tommy on February 26 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia after the pair previously agreed to two fight deals that were subsequently cancelled. And 'Big John' has taken to social media to get involved in their trash talking, mocking Paul for his last win over Anderson Silva.

The Fury father incorrectly called Silva 'Da Silva', and spread the debunked conspiracy theory that Paul missed the Brazilian before putting him down in the eighth round. But perhaps strangest of all, Fury claimed that Silva had been "counted out", despite the fact the fight ended by decision.
