Tommy Fury's break-up with Molly-Mae Hague has been very publicised

Jake Paul had just one, brutal word for Tommy Fury when asked to comment on his recent break-up with Molly-Mae Hague.

Fury was dumped by Molly-Mae after being together for five years amid allegations of cheating.


Reigniting their feud, Paul was asked the one word that came to mind when asked about his old rival.

The YouTube star told the Daily Mail: "Single."

There is bad blood between Paul and Fury that sparked during the build-up to their huge boxing fight in February 2023.

While many criticised the two for turning the sport into a circus, both camps really stuck the needle in to one another.

Fury won the contest on points to inflict Paul's one and only career defeat since taking to the ring.

But there has long been talk of a rematch, though nothing concrete has ever come from it with Paul set to take on boxing legend Mike Tyson later this year.

Fury's break-up with Molly-Mae, who he has a child with, has been extremely publicised, as has much of their relationship which started on Love Island in 2019.

As well as being together for five years, the couple had been engaged for the last 12 months while Fury has not commented on the situation.

As for Paul, whether he would entertain another fight with Paul remains to be seen, though it appears he wants to walk away from 'influencer' boxing.

In the last few years, social media stars have taken to the ring to boost their own names with YouTube sensation KSI even starting his own boxing promotion Misfits.

It has seen some huge success and it held its 17th event in Dublin this month and often makes millions of pay-per-view sales.

But Paul has had enough and wants to fight real boxers, something he has only ever done once when he took on Fury - and lost.

He told the Daily Mail: "Honestly, the other fighters aren't improving.

"I think people are tired of seeing the s***** punches and it just looks sloppy.

"Now that they're fans of the sport, I think they want to see like, more real, higher level skill. So it's definitely dying out."

Paul will take on Tyson on November 15 in Texas to fight only the second boxer in his career.

However, Iron Mike is 58 years old - 31 years older than Paul, who is 27.

While Tyson was once undoubtedly the best heavyweight in the world at one point - once holding all titles at the same time - those days are long gone.

The former heavyweight champion has not fought professionally since 2005, when he was forced to retire on his stool in the fifth round against Kevin McBride.
