Days ahead of the fight at the Diriyah Arena on February 26th, Jake Paul proposed the “double or nothing” bet to Tommy Fury. Had Fury signed the contract then for “double or nothing” he should have by now walked away with double his prize money after defeating ‘The Problem Child’ in the ring. Although the British boxer beat Jake Paul on February 26th, he reportedly did not sign the contract for “double or nothing” prior to stepping inside the ring. Despite Fury never officially signing “double or nothing”, his father John Fury pursued Jake Paul via a tweet by saying, “You owe us some money”.

Despite never signing a physical contract for the bet, Tommy Fury wants to see whether or not Jake Paul honors the deal. “At the end of the day, we were live on TV and we shook hands. We’re old-fashioned guys, so a handshake means everything to us, but let’s see if he honors it or not. A handshake is as good as a contract to us, said Tommy Fury.

Fury’s statements followed his father’s tweet. In the mentioned tweet, so as to disregard the contract, John Fury claimed that being a “Gypsy” he could neither write nor read “properly”. “We had a deal in front of millions of people worldwide, I expect you to honor that deal. You owe us some money,” he added by saying.
