TOMMY FURY has been seen training on the pads for the first time since pulling out of fighting Jake Paul.
Fury was left gutted having withdrawn from the celebrity grudge match in December after suffering a broken rib in training.
But he is on the road to recovery having returned to training and released a clip hitting the pads with his dad and coach John.
Seemingly impressed, Fury’s girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague commented: “Sharp.”
Paul, who knocked out replacement opponent Tyron Woodley, has since had free rein to accuse the former reality TV star of getting cold feet.
But in a response statement, Fury, 22, insisted his ‘injury was legitimate’ and questioned why his American rival, 25, has refused to reschedule.
He said: “I really don’t want to keep talking about this but I just can’t stay silent after comments Jake Paul has made in a recent interview.
“I’m absolutely sick of Jake Paul saying that I was ‘scared’ to fight.

“I had a broken rib and a bacterial chest infection which left me completely medically unfit to box – as stated by multiple medical professionals.
“I’m now fit and healthy and have very clearly stated that I am ready to fight on a rescheduled date… but where is he?
“Me having to pull out the fight was the best thing that ever happened to him and he well knows my injury was legitimate.
“This man never wanted to fight me, if he did we’d have a rescheduled date for you all and the fight would be back on which is exactly what I want… The easiest fight of my career.
“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. That’s all I’m saying on the matter.”
