John Fury went full John Fury as he hit out against Carl Frampton and his prediction about Jake Paul's scrapped fight with Tommy Fury. Frampton predicted that Paul would beat Tommy in their fight that was due to take place in December.Fury pulled out of the fight due to a broken rib and bacterial chest infection, with Jake Paul labelling him âscaredâ.But former two-weight champion Frampton backed Paul, who turned pro in 2019, before the fight. âI think that itâs a huge fight, and Iâd probably favour Jake Paul in the fight.âJohn Fury was not happy with these remarks and confronted Frampton backstage at the pre-fight press conference for Tyson Fury's fight with Dillian Whyte next month. âYou think Jake Paulâs a boxer then?â
âHeâs not a boxer,â Frampton replied.
âWell why do you think he can beat Tommy then? Answer the question now. Because you disappoint me, and I looked up to you and supported you.â
Five-foot-5 Frampton then replied by saying: âIâm trying to be honest, John.â
Fury didnât appreciate the honesty and hit back: âHonest? Saying a YouTuber can beat a Fury, are you p*****? I donât want to talk to you, Iâll turn my back on you, I donât want to talk to you at all. Get your facts right or get off the job.â
