JAKE PAUL says Tommy Fury is an “arrogant, egotistical prick” whose greed almost wrecked their showdown.
The celebrity pair will finally fight – at the third time of asking – on February 26 in Saudi Arabia.
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will collide in a Saudi showdown next month
Former Love Island star Fury was twice forced to pull out of the grudge match
YouTuber turned boxer Paul has accused Paul of almost scuppering their bout
Fury, the 23-year-old brother of heavyweight world champ Tyson – kyboshed the first two planned bouts with injuries and immigration issues.
And he seemed the lesser interested star in promoting the pay-per-view spectacle on Saturday night, when they came face-to-face in Wembley and Paul did hours of media work and Tommy refused to hang around.
Paul, the 26-year-old American who has made crossover boxing and YouTube controversy an art form and a career, still worries Fury will pull out for a third time.
And he has former UFC bad boy Mike Perry on standby for the painful possibility.
The Problem Child is adamant Tommy is only playing at pugilism to keep his famous fighting family happy and his ego will force him to cancel before getting beat.
When asked about Fury’s minimal cooperation around selling the fight, Paul told SunSport: “It’s not really a shock.
“I can totally see him as that type of person.
“That’s why I commented on his Instagram: ‘Yo you better show up tomorrow. Please show up’.

“Because he’s wasting all of our time – he’s wasting the boxing community’s time, he’s hurting the sport, wasting a tonne of people’s money.
“So he’s just not a professional guy and he seems like a bit of an arrogant, egotistical prick, honestly.”
Since starring on Love Island, Fury has won eight professional fights, against unknown opponents and failed to impress purist fans.
Paul has beaten up fellow influencers, basketball players and ex-UFC fighters half his size.
This is the first 50:50 of both mens career and will make them life-changing money.
And Paul insists the two-year delay in delivering it for the Gen-X generation who find these circuses amusing is down to Fury trying to price himself out.
“Yeah they took forever,” he said about the delay in confirming the eight-round catchweight clash.
“For whatever reason, people in boxing – and it’s a real problem – they just make all of this s*** so complicated when it doesn’t need to be.
“It’s date, weight, ring size, that’s about it. That’s all you really need.
“So everything else is just stalling or negotiation tactics or pricing yourself out if they’re scared.
“It was a lot of greed, which is tough because he’s never been paid anywhere near this amount.
“So we’re really taking a leap of faith on him and that was the big thing: a lot of greed.”
