“Jake Paul’s a b**** and he’s running scared,” he bellowed. “Jake, the hand’s fixed now, baby. The hand’s fixed.

“I think the Fury fight will happen in the next 12 months, yeah. He just has to be realistic about what he’s worth, right?” Paul told the Ariel Helwani Show.
“He just had a free fight on DAZN that tanked, couldn’t sell the tickets in wherever he was like a 1,000-person venue, and he’s just negotiating like he’s God.
“Again, I have ten names waiting to fight me in multiple different sports, MMA, boxing, all this stuff.
“These people just have to be realistic about what they’re wanting to get paid, and Tommy Fury isn’t.
“I was like, ‘Tyson, you’ve got to put your brother in check here. He’s not going to get this money or this offer anywhere else.’
“He already missed out on the massive opportunity on Netflix, his dad, who is his manager, has no idea what the f*** he’s doing, and you can’t let your dad run your career.
“Tommy’s not his own boss, he’s an airhead as well, so I just feel bad for him because he thinks he’s worth more than what he’s worth…
“I just can’t wait to get back in there with this guy because in the past three years, I fought him two years into being a pro boxer, now it’s been three years since then.
“It’s just night and day, and he hasn’t got any better, right?
“He’s been boxing since he was six years old, it’s going to be the same stuff, same coach, his dumbass dad.
“He hasn’t got any better, so I just can’t wait. Seriously, I can’t wait to get in there with him, and whenever we can make that happen, it’s going to be Christmas Day for me.”
