John Fury reveals why he wants 'nothing to do with' Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul fight

John Fury has criticised Jake Paul as negotiations continue for the rescheduling of Tommy Fury's fight against the American YouTuber. His son Tommy withdrew from the original fight due to a combination of injury and illness and negotiations are reportedly ongoing for a fight between the pair to take place this summer.

However, there appear to be tensions between the camps which are reflected in Fury Sr's latest comments regarding the progress of talks. Both fighters are undefeated and the fight is said to be taking place on August 6th at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Despite claims that a fight agreement is '90% done' coming out of the Paul camp in recent days, John has now put doubt on that, explaining the current situation in an explosive video posted to Instagram. The former fighter said that he wants nothing to do with the fight in a long message.
