Tommy Fury has called out his former boxing idol Carl Frampton after the former Manchester boxer tipped Jake Paul to get the better of him. An incident earlier this week saw Tommy and Tyson Fury's father, John, clash with Frampton over his claim that Paul would defeat Tommy.
Frampton was among a number of ex-fighters and pundits who backed Paul to cause an upset. Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: "To be honest, I don’t really know much about them. I’ve seen Jake Paul, little highlights of him. I’ve seen Tommy Fury, I was actually working for BT for one of his fights as a pundit. I think that if you put a gun to my head, I think I fancy Jake Paul in that fight, if I’m being honest."
Three months later, John Fury confronted Frampton on his pick. He said: "You think Jake Paul's a boxer?" he asked, to which Frampton replied, "I don't think he's a boxer." Fury replied by stating: "Then why do you think he can beat Tommy? Answer the question, because you disappointed me. I supported you and I looked up to you"
