Tommy Fury returns to Instagram to confirm Jake Paul meet after 'new baby' jibes'

Tommy Fury has made a return to Instagram after being goaded by rival Jake Paul over the arrival of his first baby.

The boxer revealed he was leaving his home with girlfriend Molly Mae Hague in Manchester and heading to London for a press conference.

It comes after Paul teased the half-brother of Tyson Fury and said there 'were no excuses' for them not to meet and go ahead with their much-hyped fight now that 'his kid was here.'

Fans of Molly and Tommy had been guessing if the Love Island favourites had welcomed their baby after noticing their absence on social media.

As followers of the reality stars waited for an update, Jake Paul appeared to confirm the arrival of their daughter on social media himself.

He wrote: “Tommy has no excuses now…Baby’s born. Money’s massive. Immigration no issue. Tyson promises he & Papa will make Tommy retire from boxing & change his last name if he can’t beat the YouTuber. Tmw I’m coming to London to look at all 3 Fury’s in the eye & shake on that promise."

Paul has previously called out Tommy for pulling out of two chances to fight him.

Just days before Paul's Twitter jibes, pregnant Molly-Mae, 23, admitted that she had only 'days to go' until she gave birth.

On Friday she shared a YouTube blog detailing her final preparations for her her hospital stay.

The influencer and PrettyLittle Thing creative director was filmed packing her hospital bag - an elaborate Louis Vuitton case - and showing her first gifts for her baby girl.

Molly revealed she'd tracked down a plush elephant, identical to her beloved childhood toy that she was seen with in the Love Island villa where she met Tommy in 2019.

In the candid video, Molly Mae admitted she was feeling nervous and emotional ahead of the big day.

Molly had told fans they would be the first to know when the baby arrived, after keeping them updated throughout her pregnancy journey.

However, on Friday Jake Paul landed himself in hot water with her fans after appearing to take that decision out of her hands.

While Molly continues her social media break, Paul claimed the reality star had 'given birth.'

He made the apparent reveal after teasing plans to fight Tommy in Saudi Arabia on February 26.

Neither Molly or Tommy have responded directly to the rumour.

Tommy ignored the jibes as he hit back at his rival and vowed the duo would finally come face to face in the ring.

“Jake Paul’s boxing career ends on February 26th and I can finally move on with mine. Every time I go out right now, everybody asks me about the Jake Paul fight.

“After this fight is done, everybody will be asking me how it felt to knock Jake Paul out. The world is about to see what happens when a proper boxer faces a YouTuber.”
