Tyson Fury accused of contradicting himself over brothers Logan and Jake Paul

Tyson Fury has been accused of having contradictory opinions on YouTube siblings Logan and Jake Paul.

Fury found himself recently at the heart of a rivalry between his brother Tommy and YouTube star Paul when the pair met in a boxing clash in Saudi Arabia. The 'Gypsy King' has previously been both complimentary and disrespectful towards the influencers since they began their exploits in the squared circle, despite showing respect to Jake when the pair met face-to-face.

Both Fury and Paul's brother Logan were present in the Middle East, where the WBC champion saw his brother have his hand raised by split decision. However despite a feud being settled to a certain extent, the trash-talking appears to have lived on between the families with Logan now taking to social media to criticise Fury.

He tweeted a video of the 34-year-old talking about both himself and brother Jake in a positive and negative way, with the clips lined up one after another. He tweeted the video with the caption: "Make up your mind @Tyson_Fury." The British star can first be seen talking in the video, suggesting: "I actually fancy Logan Paul."

Fury then made a U-turn on a separate clip, joking: "Logan can suck my balls." Fury produced a similar stance on his brother's rival Jake, first saying: "Jake Paul's doing fantastic." He later altered his praise, instead claiming: "Who the f*** is Jake Paul?" Despite his criticism, Fury is known to be fond of Paul's brother Jake for his influence in the entertainment business.

More often than not, the undefeated heavyweight has heaped praise on Paul and suggested shortly after the fight with his brother that the pair should touch gloves again in a rematch later this year. However again he immediately made a U-turn releasing a video in which he said: “Logan Paul, you little b****. It seems that my little brother beat your little brother and now you’re both a pair of losers. All the Paul family suck.”

The pair could be thrust back into opposite sides once again if Paul is to activate his rematch clause and do battle with Fury for a second time. And the 'Problem Child' has indicated he is likely to do so, which Fury believes is fair given the close battle last time out. He said: "Tommy will be headlining now forever. I'd like to see him fight a rematch with Jake Paul and fight Logan, his brother.

"He [Tommy] did a fantastic job. The world media, the world's biggest stars, came to see it. It was fantastic. I expected Tommy to knock him out, to be quite honestly quite comfortably, but Jake was better than I thought he'd be, so fair play to Jake Paul. Jake Paul was a very worthy opponent and he had to come through some obstacles like falling over in round eight and getting up and fighting on."
