Jake Paul may have successfully knocked out Ben Askren in the first round in April, but the Fury family and their friends are coming after him, further escalating the war of words already happening between the 22-year-old British fighter and the YouTuber turned boxer. Following Jake\u2019s win against Askren, Tommy tweeted \u201cI\u2019m ready to give the people what they want,\u201d tagging Paul, who appeared to accept the offer later on but only on the condition that Tyson also joined the boxing card. However, Tommy and Tyson Fury have taken their fighting talk one step further. On May 20, boxing legend Tyson Fury posted a video to his Instagram surrounded by his family and friends, challenging YouTuber Jake Paul to \u201cstep up and fight a REAL boxer.\u201d The video begins with Tyson Fury\u2019s son Prince shouting \u201cJakey Jakey where are ya? My uncle\u2019s looking for ya,\u201d Before Tommy threatens, \u201cThis boxing sh*t, it\u2019s in my blood. I don\u2019t play boxing.\u201d The camera then turns to none other than four-time NBA champion Shaquille O\u2019Neal who says \u201cIf you see this face, you already know what it is. Don\u2019t matter the amount, don\u2019t be scared\u201d while holding up the universal hand gesture for money. View this post on Instagram Finally, Tyson Fury himself tells the Paul brothers where they stand: \u201cSo Jake, Logan, Anyone else who wants to back these pussies, please hit us up, I\u2019m taking all bets for any amount of money. As much as they want. Any time, any place, anywhere, let us know. Tommy\u2019s knocking Jake the f*ck out.\u201d However, Tommy is not the only one calling for a shot at fighting Jake Paul; Evander Holyfield has claimed he\u2019ll do it for enough money, popular rapper The Game recently tweeted his offer, and the YouTuber seems to have accepted an offer from UFC Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. But with Jake having just locked down a deal with Showtime Sports for multiple future fights, it looks like Tommy has a good chance at getting in the ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tommy and Tyson Fury recruit Shaquille O\u2019Neal to get Jake Paul fight Instagram: gypsyking101\/ Jake PaulBoxing brothers Tommy and Tyson Fury have recruited NBA legend Shaquille O\u2019Neil to help them persuade Jake Paul to fight, and they\u2019ve posted a bizarre callout.
