Frampton had predicted that Jake would edge the contest, a claim that earned the wrath of Fury snr on Tuesday.
Fury confronted Frampton at the press conference for his son Tyson's heavyweight world title clash with Dillian Whyte.
"You think Jake Paul's a boxer?" he asked, to which Frampton replied, "I don't think he's a boxer."
Fury: "Then why do you think he can beat Tommy? Answer the question, because you disappointed me. I supported you and I looked up to you"
Frampton: "I'm just trying to be honest."
Fury: "Honest? Honest? Saying a YouTuber could beat a Fury? Are you p*****?"
Frampton: "I'm trying to be honest; I'm not p*****."
Fury finished by saying: "I don't want to talk to you. I'm turning my back on you, I don't want to talk to you. Get your facts right or get off the job."
Tommy Fury also hit out at Frampton in an interview with iFLTV, but boxing fans were backing the Jackal over the simmering row.
One fan said on Twitter: "These are the guys who say what they want! Fair play Carl if that’s what you think it’s what you think."
Danny added: "A grown man throwing his toys out the pram over an opinion."
George tweeted: "Carl is right, Jake Paul would beat him."
Rob voiced his appreciation of the Jackal, adding: "Had an opinion and wouldn’t be bullied out of it by someone who didn’t agree. Love it @RealCFrampton."
Gordon said: "Disrespectful fm John Fury, could have at least let Carl Frampton explain instead of ushering him away. Playing up to the cameras."
Teddy added: "When you try and be intimidating and fail miserably!"
Rob said: "When he couldn’t get his own way he decides he’s not talking to him anymore. Tragic."
Jake said: " @RealCFrampton shown no respect for just giving an opinion. Handled himself well."
Another tweet read: "That’s a bit s*** from John that."
Danny said: "That’s embarrassing from a man at his big age to get in his feelings over an opinion . And a correct opinion at that."
Meanwhile, Tony joked: "He needs to wind his neck in. Tommy fury couldn’t beat my 5 year old grandson."
And David said: "I'm sure Carl Frampton gives a s*** lol."
