Tommy Fury explains why he ripped shirt off for Jake Paul face-off in ring

Tommy Fury took his t-shirt off as he was "ready to have it" with Jake Paul whilst facing off with his rival in the ring.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul and Love Island star Fury will settle their bitter feud in Saudi Arabia on February 26 after years of back and forth. The pair faced off at the Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde fight in London last month and Fury left fans puzzled when he opted to take his t-shirt off for the staredown. Fury has now revealed that he went topless in the ring as he was ready to fight Paul then and there.

“I basically got in there and took my shirt off because I was ready to have it then. If he would have wanted to have a fighter there and then. He knew what he was messing with when I did that, when I was in that ring I was ready to have it there and then with his whole team but he wasn’t interested," Fury told Queensbury Promotions.
