TOMMY FURY has labelled bitter rival Jake Paul as looking ‘scared’ for not wanting to reschedule their grudge bout.
The pair were originally supposed to face off in December, but Fury pulled out after suffering from a broken rib and chest infection.
It led to claims from YouTuber turned boxer Paul that Fury had pulled out on purpose because he didn’t want to face the Ohio born 25-year-old.
But Fury insists he’s still more than up for the challenge, and the fact that the clash has not been rescheduled as of yet reflects badly on Paul.
TNT taunted Paul by saying, as per talkSPORT’s Michael Benson: “This man never wanted to fight me. If he did, we’d have a rescheduled date.
“I’m not going to allow him to use the excuse, ‘Tommy was scared,’ any longer.
“I think we can all agree now that the only person that looks scared is him.”
Fury had called for the pair to put their unbeaten records on the line in March, three months after they were originally scheduled to fight.

But Paul has claimed he now has no interest in getting in the ring with the Brit, brother of Tyson Fury, and instead ordered him to ‘get some clout’ by facing Tyron Woodley.
Woodley stepped in at the eleventh hour to fight Paul after Fury pulled out, but was emphatically knocked out by the outspoken American.
Paul has claimed he now plans to turn his attention to the UFC, in a £26million fight against MMA legend Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Speaking on The MMA Hour about Fury, Paul claimed the Brit has ‘missed his chance’ for the chance to fight.
He said: “He’s delusional and he sort of missed his chance and his opportunity.
“I sort of want him to fight Tyron Woodley and see what happens there.
“Because I think Tyron would knock Tommy out, so, I almost want to have them fight.
“Tommy, people only know him because of me, and so I want him to go get some of your own fans, or clout, or go do some other thing. Then, maybe we could run it back after that.”
