TOMMY FURY branded his next opponent Anthony Taylor an ‘Oompa Loompa’ and said he could beat him AND Jake Paul in the same night.
Fury faces the MMA fighter on Sunday, August 29 in Cleveland with Paul topping the bill against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
The YouTube sensation, 24, has been sparring with Taylor, 32, in Puerto Rico in preparation for this month’s event.
And together they filmed a callout video, where Taylor blasted ‘Tommy Fairy’ and told his girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague: ‘come to my Love Island’.
It did not take long for Fury to respond, as he mocked ‘Pretty Boy’ Taylor’s 5ft 7in frame by likening him to a 4ft Oompa Loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
And he also had some choice words for Paul, who he plans to fight next.
Fury, 22, said: “Just a little message to my two favourite boys, Jake Paul, Anthony Taylor.
“Anthony, you ain’t going to be so pretty after the 29th mate. I’m going to smash all the front of your face clean in and that’s a promise.
“And after I’ve done you, you little Oompa Loompa, I’m coming for your best pal Jake Paul.
“Because the both of you couldn’t beat him in the same night together.
“So, I look forward to seeing you on fight week because talk’s cheap and I want you to say it to my face, and see how brave you are then.
“I’ll see you soon boys, take it easy.”
Paul is 3-0 all by knockout with wins over YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.

Light-heavyweight Fury, brother to world champion Tyson, is 6-0 in his career and was considered for Paul’s ring return.
But the American wants his online rival to build his profile Stateside, which paved the way for the undercard fight with Taylor.
Should the celebrity pair both win, it sets up an expected pay-per-view fight between them.
