Tommy Fury takes Jake Paul 'double or nothing' offer as tensions spill over in fiery press conference

Tommy Fury and Jake Paul will be 'double or nothing' in terms of prize money - with tensions boiling over in their press conference ahead of Sunday's scrap.

Fury and Paul both have records of 8-0, albeit Paul's looks better on paper having taken on former UFC stars Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva, beating Anderson by unanimous decision and Woodley twice, including a knockout. But Fury will represent a different kind of test; a young boxer with a lot to prove as he aims to follow in older brother Tyson's footsteps as a world boxing champion.

With the fight set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening, the pair went toe-to-toe at their press conference on Thursday afternoon. Paul started a war of words after likening Fury to the 'Michelin Man' due to his 'top-heavy build', riling Fury into engaging in the spat. And after boasting of his confidence of a win, Fury accepted Paul's offer of an 'All or Nothing' fight - before tensions rose with Fury calling Paul a 'sh*thhouse' as promoters held them back.

"Where are you? I want you to look me in the eyes when I saw this," Fury cheekily quipped. "You're getting put to sleep inside four rounds, I'm going to put you away.

"You've had wow very lucky escapes at this fight, you should have taken the escapes. You've blown your ticket, you should've stuck to fighting old men."

Paul replied: "I think we make a deal then since you're so confident, if you win, I'll pay you double what I'm paying you already. But if I win I take everything that I'm paying you, deal or not deal?"

Tommy then stood up to Paul rising to his feet, saying: "What you standing up for? Why are you standing up?

"Sit back down, sit back down."

John Fury then chipped in. "Deal. You've got a deal, all or nothing."

The duo then squared up and Paul laid a hand on the Mancunian, before Fury said: "You're getting put to sleep inside four rounds. You're a sh*thouse! A sh*thouse little b**ch! It's over!"
