Tommy Fury draws X-rated message for Jake Paul after grudge fight confirmed
Tommy Fury has drawn a penis on Jake Paul's picture in a message to his rival ahead of their February meeting.
Fury and Paul will touch gloves on February 26 in Saudi Arabia after months of negotiations finally concluded with an agreement on the third time of asking. Fury has been forced to withdraw on two previous occasions the pair had signed on the dotted line, first with a broken rib before being banned from travelling to the US last August.
The pair have been rivals for several years since they first teased a showdown when Paul defeated former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in 2021. Trash talk and cryptic messages have become a frequent occurrence, and tonight has no exception as the pair prepare to come face-to-face in London to announce the clash.
As Fury arrived at the venue with his brother Tyson, the former Love Islander spotted an enlarged image of his rival on a fight poster to announce the event. He decided to try his hand at art and spent time drawing over the picture before it was revealed to be a penis which drew laughs from his team.
Fury then walked away to see the camera pan on the image before flipping a finger at the picture as it became clear that tensions will likely be high in the ring next month. The British star has frequently criticised his rival for his boxing career, and regularly poked fun at Paul on social media.

"After this fight is done, everybody will be asking me how it felt to knock Jake Paul out. The world is about to see what happens when a proper boxer faces a YouTuber." Paul is equally excited about the event and believes he will finally silence the critics with a win over a fighter originating from the sport.
He tweeted: "After multiple failed attempts to get Tommy Fury in the ring, the moment of truth has finally arrived. Fumbles has no excuses now. Baby is born. Money is massive. Immigration is not an issue. Sunday, February 26, Paul vs Fury is live on ESPN+ PPV in the US and BT Sport Box Office in the UK.
"Tyson Fury has promised he and Papa John will make Tommy retire from boxing and change his last name forever if he can’t beat the YouTuber. Saturday (tomorrow) I’m coming to London to look at all three Fury’s in the eye and shake on that promise. Alhamdulillah!"
