Jake Paul's brother Logan screamed abuse at Tommy Fury during the fight - but came unstuck after the YouTube star lost.
Influencer and boxer Paul finally got his chance to step in the ring with ex-Love Island star Fury in Saudi Arabia last night after a feud which had lasted over two years. Despite putting on a brave display and knocking down the Briton in the final round, the American was unable to pick up the victory he promised, losing by split-decision on the judges scorecards.
Paul's brother Logan was interviewed ringside by the host after the third round with Fury on top in the fight. And Paul decided to let out a vicious X-rated rant aimed at his brother's rival who was on his stool receiving instructions ready for the next round.
He shouted: " Tommy Fury if you can hear me, you're a b****, you're gassing out." British broadcaster BT Sport were forced to apologise on screen for the language during the fight, which the commentators also criticised with the pair involved in a tense battle in the squared circle.
Ultimately the attempt to heckle Fury proved in vain as the Brit showed the better skill throughout the contest and showed he was far from "gassed" as he finished the fight the stronger despite a final-round knockdown. There was then plenty of raw emotion for the 23-year-old after the final bell as he finally delivered on his promise to derail the YouTuber's short boxing career.
It is expected that fans will now likely see a rematch given Paul has a contracted clause to activate to pursue a second meeting. And Fury has suggested he can stop the fight inside the distance if the pair do battle again later this year. He said: "He was very similar to what I watched on tape, he didn't really do anything.
What did you make of Jake Paul's performance against Tommy Fury? Let us know in the comments section below
"I am just happy that I came out here and we are leaving here with a win. This has always consumed my life walking put in public, but I have shown that I am a real fighter and I can cut it with the big dance. Yeah I feel a weight is lifted, me and Jake fought and I came out the clear winner. I believe you will be able to see a gulf in class when you watch the fight back.
"But listen take nothing away from Jake Paul he is a game lad, but I believe I can stop him in the rematch. "Everything that I said I backed it up. I have hit professionals with the sort of shots I hit Jake Paul with and they have gone. There is no way people can say he isn't a real boxer. He is a tough guy and I believe he will do well in the future."
