Tommy Fury has insisted Jake Paul simply guessed that his partner Molly Mae Hague had given birth before leaking the news.
Paul and Fury will touch gloves on February 26 in Saudi Arabia after signing on the dotted line at the third time of asking to settle their rivalry. The announcement was delayed by a few days which many speculated was down to Fury's partner Hague giving birth with her due date around the same time.
Paul appeared to let the news slip that the fan-led theory was correct while announcing the fight on Twitter, writing: "After multiple failed attempts to get Tommy Fury in the ring, the moment of truth has finally arrived. Fumbles has no excuses now. Baby is born. Money is massive. Immigration is not an issue. Sunday February 26."
