And the moment was interrupted when Jake Paul dropped an outlandish comment on Molly Hague’s Instagram post, talking about knocking out the baby’s father. The comment has been deleted. But, Michael Benson, boxing editor at talkSPORTS, tweeted the screenshot of Jake Paul’s comment. Paul wrote, “Just in time to watch your dad get knocked out“. Maybe Jake Paul was frustrated because Tommy Fury didn’t show up to their face-to-face interview. This upset many fans for obvious reasons.

This is not the first time Jake Paul has hindered Tommy Fury’s personal life. Before this, while announcing the fight, Paul revealed the news of the baby. He apologized later, as he said that he didn’t realize he did that but then turned that into sarcasm too. He remarked that the young Fury doesn’t need to worry as he won’t be revealing the baby’s gender.

Fans abhorred the comment

This time, most of the fans condemned Jake Paul’s behavior as they never subscribed to missing their personal life with professional life. Fans love the trash talk as long as it has something to do with the fight, nobody likes it when a fighter goes against another fighter’s family.

One of the fans said that Paul went “too far” with his comment.

Another fan called out Jake Paul on advocating his anti-bullying campaigns and how he keeps on doing such things before his fights.

One fan rebuked Paul for going after Fury’s family.
