Jake Paul has insisted he will make "breadwinner" Molly Mae Hague cry by beating Tommy Fury in their fight this weekend.
The YouTube star will finally step in the ring with bitter rival Fury this Sunday night in Saudi Arabia with the stakes higher than ever as both fighter's careers are on the line. Both Paul and Fury have been trading verbal barbs on social media for nearly two years, which has dragged some high-profile figures into the feud including Fury's brother Tyson and Love Island partner Hague.
Fury met Hague on the reality TV series which saw them shoot to fame and his partner has had unprecedented success in the beauty and fashion industry. And in a fresh dig at the high-profile pair, Paul has claimed Fury will be able to begin providing for his family by netting his huge payday to step in the ring with the American.
"He has kind of been forced into this by the fans, the media, his family and probably Molly," Paul said on BT Sport ahead of the clash. "She is probably sitting there going, 'Yo I just had a baby (daughter, Bambi) I can't be the one to pay the bills the entire time'. He is going to be paid 20k a fight, minus taxes, he can only pay for so many diapers. It's a hard business.
"This is his biggest pay day and he is going to actually be able to support his family a little bit if he gets a good wealth manager and invests his money properly. Molly is probably like, yeah bro I'm tired of being the bread-winner of this relationship. You're gonna see his girlfriend cry once I knock him the f*** out and he's unconscious."
Paul has already likely drawn a bad name with Hague given he appeared to leak the birth of their newborn baby Bambi online prior to the couple's announcement on social media. The YouTube star apologised for the move claiming he didn't know it wasn't yet official, but the Love Islander was reportedly left angry by the leak.

Fury will have a chance to get his revenge on Paul in the ring this weekend, having failed to meet his rival on two previous occasions after being forced to withdraw. And the Briton believes it is his time to do the business and show why he is on course to become a world champion.
"All of these lucrative fights are out there, I will clear up. My sole goal since starting boxing is to be a world champion and I do believe I've got what it takes to be there and get to that level. I do believe everybody writes me off because of Love Island," Fury told BT Sport.
"I'm going to beat him, put an end to him once for all and then everyone can thank me for doing it. After that, I'm going to get back on my route to win some world titles and then go down in history. Then I'll bob my hat and leave the sport, that's my goal."
