Jake Paul has mocked Tommy Fury for pulling out of his fight with Darren Till.
Tommy Fury was set to fight former UFC fighter Till in a boxing match in January. However, the brother of Tyson Fury abruptly cancelled the bout on Friday after Till threatened to kick him in the head during the fight if he was losing.
Fury took to social media to announce that he was pulling the fight due to the “stupid” tactics.
“I can’t believe I’m writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18,” said Fury.

“For the one simple reason being that Darren has stated over and over that he does not want to abide by professional boxing rules and that if he is losing the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics.
“I am a professional boxer, I have been out of the ring for over a year and I wanted this to be a great BOXING fight for the fans. I have wasted weeks in training camp. We are working hard to get a new opponent and date. I promise to get a better opponent and better fight for you guys. Good news around the corner.”

The Wait To See Tommy Fury Fight Again Goes On
Fury hasn’t fought in the boxing ring since his win over YouTuber KSI in October 2023.
His fight with Till in Manchester on January 18 has seen plenty of drama in the build-up.
Their press conference last month descended into chaos and was cut short.
Fury’s father John Fury sparked a melee when he threw water over Till after being angered by comments made by the 31-year-old.
