‘Boxing’s biggest b*tch’: Jake Paul slams Fury, reveals $500k bet with ex-UFC star (VIDEO)

Boxing braggart Jake Paul has said the "sh*t talk" damaged rival Tommy Fury after the Brit pulled out of their showdown of social media sensations – and a man the YouTuber has bad blood with has stepped in at 12 days' notice.

Rookie fighter Paul has repeatedly claimed that pro boxer Fury would not make their scheduled scrap in Florida on December 18.

Now Fury, who has promised Paul an early night if they settle their acrimonious war of words in the ring, has pulled out through injury.

"It's official – Tommy Fury is boxing's biggest b*tch," Paul announced to his millions of followers.

"Who knows what the f*ck is going on in that camp? I couldn't believe the news at first.

"It still doesn't even seem real. He fumbled the biggest [financial] bag of his life. Now he will be watching at home, paying me $60 instead of getting paid millions of dollars to fight me.

"I've fought with a broken nose, I've fought sick. Get the f*ck over it: this is boxing.

"He was scared. The pressure got to him, the sh*t talk got to him. That's the bad news."

The "good news", according to Paul, is an immediate rematch for Tyron Woodley, the former UFC fighter he beat by split decision in an acrimonious bout in Ohio in August.

"We called him up and said 'hey, you want to take the fight?' He has been training, he said 'sure, I'll take the fight.' Let's do the rematch, run it back.

"I'm giving him $500,000 if he can knock me out. I didn't knock him out the first time – I'm getting that crazy highlight reel knockout."

Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury had shared footage of himself training with his brother in the build-up, and the newcomer is said to have been set to head to the US to train with the WBC king's legendary trainer, SugarHill Steward, this week.

Despite provocative Paul's warnings that his rival would not make the opening bell, the more experienced Fury had spoken of the ease with which he expected his protege to win as recently as Friday.

"Tommy could have his worst night ever and still beat Jake Paul," said Fury, speaking to The Lowdown about a man 11 years younger than him at 22.

"He could probably turn up with a broken rib, a broken left hand, two left feet, his clothes on back-to-front and the flu and still beat Jake Paul. That's how confident I am."

Those words have come back to haunt Fury and promoter Frank Warren, who reportedly admitted that Paul's opponent was ill while insisting he would fight.

"Tommy had a little bit of a cold but hopefully he is going to be okay," the veteran showman is said to have confided.

"We are up in [Fury's hometown] Morecambe [on Wednesday], so hopefully we will know more then – but he is up for it and he wants to fight.

'He can't wait for the fight and I know, certainly, from Jake's perspective, he can't wait for the fight."

When the fight was announced, Paul blustered: "Timothy had no choice but to sign the contract so he could finally pay his bar tabs, afford a shirt for the club and stop living off [infuencer girlfriend] Molly[-Mae Hague."

"I'm changing this w*nker's name to Tommy Fumbles and celebrating with Tom Brady," he added, referring to a mooted term of the fight contract should Fury lose.

"Pucker up, Timmy: it’s time to kiss your last name and your family’s boxing legacy goodbye."
