YouTube sensation Jake Paul and former ‘Love Island’ star Tommy Fury will finally settle their differences this February. The two rivals were already scheduled to face two times in the past with both fights being canceled. Fury pulled out of their first scheduled bout due to injuries and was denied entry into the United States for their second scheduled match.

Therefore it is no surprise that ‘The Problem Child’ is a little concerned about this fight as well. Moreover, he thinks that Fury’s newborn baby girl will pose a ‘distraction’ for him as he looks to finally put this rivalry to an end.

Jake Paul thinks Tommy Fury’s child will pose a ‘distraction’

In a recent interview with The Sun, Paul was asked how staying away from his baby girl for four weeks would affect Fury. Paul then stated that this was a bizarre set of events happening for Fury in such a short span. Moreover, he even sympathized with Fury, adding that he himself wouldn’t want to prepare for a fight if he had a newborn child. In addition, he also claimed that this could end up being a “distraction” for the British boxer.

I think its a bit bizarre. You know I think two of his biggest life moments in a very short time period here. I was telling my friends, ‘I don’t know how he’s mentally going to be able to deal with that’. Like if I had a kid I wouldn’t wanna be going and showing up at the gym. So I think it’s going to be a distraction for him,” said Paul.

‘The Problem Child’ thinks that Fury’s daughter will play a role in the upcoming match and will be a distraction. This complied with the added pressure coming from his family, with his brother Tyson, threatening to leave him in Saudi Arabia if he lost will only make things harder.

Paul trolls Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague’s announcement and later deletes it

The YouTube star is certainly playing his role perfectly after he tried to troll Fury once again. This time it was after Molly-Mae Hague posted a photo of her and Fury holding their daughter together. However, Paul would fire some unwarranted shots at Fury commenting about the upcoming fight. “Just in time to watch your dad get knocked out,” he wrote.

Paul received a lot of backlash for this with many claiming he had gone too far with the statement. The comment was later deleted as Paul understood the extent he had gone to troll his rival. This only goes to show how selling fights can sometimes go a bit too far with personal attacks at families being taken to hype up bouts.
