JAKE PAUL revealed his brother Logan and dad Greg have begged him NOT to give “f***er” Tommy Fury a THIRD chance to fight him.
The celebrity boxers have TWICE signed for a grudge match but both times Fury was withdrawn.

An injured rib last December and US visa issues this August saw the 2019 Love Islander pulled out of the pay-per-view paydays.
But it was Paul and his promotional partners who were left footing the bill of the axed events.
So the American will leave it to Fury and his team to finance another go at rescheduling, even if his own family have urged him to walk away.
Paul, 25, said: “I’m tired of them wasting our money, so if Tommy pulls out again it’s there money. I dunno, I’m still sceptical about it.
“My brother tells me everyday, and my dad calls me every day damn near and say, ‘Don’t give this f***er another chance.
“So I dunno, we might not.”
Fury’s hopes of negotiating again were dashed after Paul signed to face UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, set for this weekend in Arizona.
Paul last fought in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.

That added to KOs over online rival AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 38.
Woodley only filled on under two weeks’ notice after Fury, 23, suffered his rib injury in training.
The celeb mega-fight was rescheduled for August in New York – but that was soon KOd when Fury suffered US visa issues.
Heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed as a substitute, only for lightening to strike twice, this time due to a weight disagreement.
It has set the scene for Paul to return in the biggest test of his career against Silva, who last year beat ex-world champio Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 36.
He said: “I know this is my toughest test, it’s not going to be easy.
“I’m going to have to outbox the boxer, who just beat a world champion in the sport of boxing.
“It’s motivating but I have that chip on my shoulder and I’ve carried that into my whole entire camp.”

Here are the Essential Skills of Boxing
How to box effectively
Boxing is a popular sport. It involves two people who attempt to knock each other out of their heads. Different countries have different rules. There are three main types of boxing: Amateur boxing, Professional boxing, and Olympic boxing.
Amateur boxing can be practiced at school or college. This type includes sparring sessions using padded gloves, but without protection. Amateur boxing contests are usually three rounds in length, lasting five minutes each. There are many different styles of amateur boxing including Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, Wrestling and others.
Most professional boxing takes place in gyms, clubs, and stadiums. They use protective equipment, such as mouthpieces, nose guards, shin protectors, elbow pads knee pads, waist belts and groin protectors. Professional boxing competitions consist of six rounds lasting four minutes each. There are many styles of professional boxing: Boxing, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), Kickboxing and Muay Thai.
Olympic boxing is done at the Olympics. International standards require that boxers use special protective gear. Each round lasts three minutes and is made up of eight rounds. There are only two styles of Olympic boxing; Light Flyweight and Heavyweight.
The basic skills of boxing are:
- Punching techniques
- Guarding techniques
- Footwork
- Stance
- The body moves
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Sparring
Punching Techniques
There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more strength than others. An example of this is an uppercut, which requires tremendous force. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. A combination may have multiple parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
A boxer must use his legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. These are the most popular:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. The rotation is done at different speeds depending on the type of punch.
Combinations
The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
Spares
Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your boxing skills. Sparring is a training session that helps a boxer train his mind and body. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
