Tyson Fury has told Tommy to stay in Saudi Arabia and get a job as Cristiano Ronaldo's personal trainer if he loses to Jake Paul in their grudge fight.
Fury is scheduled to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul on February 26 in Riyadh after pulling out of his fight against the American twice before. The pair were first scheduled to meet in December 2021, but Fury was replaced by ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley after suffering a chest infection and broken rib. A rescheduled between the pair last August was also cancelled when US visa issues prevented Fury from travelling to the States.
Heavyweight champion Tyson has warned his brother Tommy that he will be leaving the Middle East without him later this month if he loses to Paul, telling JOE : "I’ll leave Tommy in Saudi Arabia. He can become Cristiano Ronaldo ’s best pal and he can be a PT for Ronaldo in Saudi."

Tyson went on to say of the fight: “The two guys are putting it on. They’re both undefeated and whoever loses is pretty much f***ed I'd say, because they have both had a lot to say. It's like me, when you speak a lot of s*** you've got to back it up. That's it, I've been doing this for years, 30 odd times in a row. Now it's time for the big boys to do it. Get it on, I'm really excited for this."

Fury and Paul were in attendance for Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde in London last weekend and the rivals had to be separated whilst facing off in the ring. Fans mocked Fury for taking his shirt off before the staredown with fans questioning why he "stumbled and mumbled" around the ring.

I've got an idea: we can do this as a little tag team match. His brother can tag in and I'll tag in and boom!"
Fury insisted that Paul's boxing career will be over after their fight, adding that he's been beating better fighters than Paul since the age of 14. 'The Problem Child' fired back by stating that Fury has been fighting "taxi drivers" and he will crack under the pressure of their highly-anticipated grudge fight.
