JAKE PAUL accepted Tommy Fury’s call-out…on the condition his older brother Tyson fights Michael Hunter on the same card.
The American secured his third professional boxing win when he savagely KO’d Ben Askren in the first minute of round one at the weekend.
Meanwhile, ex-Love Island star Tommy took to social media to publicly call out Paul by tweeting: “I’m ready to give the people what they want.”
The feud began when WBC champ Tyson implored ‘The Problem Child’ to take on his younger brother earlier this year.
And YouTuber Paul revealed he would accept the fight on the condition the Gypsy King fights Hunter on the same card.
So how do the potential rivals compare?
Paul turned 24 in January and is more than two years older than his British counterpart, who will celebrate his 22nd birthday in May.
Both fighters have unblemished records – Fury is 5-0 and Paul’s 3-0.
Of Fury’s five wins, four have been by KO, while all three of Paul’s finished inside the distance.
Both fight with an orthodox stance – the 6ft 1in Paul is just an inch taller than Fury but ‘TNT’ has the longer reach, 80ins to 76ins.
The big one, though, is the Instagram followers and who would have the bigger fan base behind them cheering on from home.

Reality TV sensation Fury boasts an impressive 3.3m.
But ‘The Problem Child’ – younger brother of fellow YouTuber Logan – blows his rival out of the water with a whopping 15m.
In-ring, Tommy has won twice since coming out of ITV’s popular villa, where he was runner-up alongside girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague.
He extended his winning record with a comprehensive second-round victory over journeyman Scott Williams in February 2021.
Fury opened the door to fighting KSI, 27, in 2019 after the Brit YouTuber beat the older Paul brother, 26, by split-decision.
But for now, Tommy is making up for his lack of amateur experience by fighting as frequently as he possibly can.
