Tommy Fury has hit out at Carl Frampton after the former Belfast boxer tipped Jake Paul to beat him in a fight.
Fury was due to face Paul last December but the former Love Island star pulled out with a broken rib and chest infection, Belfast Live reports.
Speaking back in November, Frampton told talkSPORT: “To be honest, I don’t really know much about them.
“I’ve seen Jake Paul, little highlights of him. I’ve seen Tommy Fury, I was actually working for BT for one of his fights as a pundit. I think that if you put a gun to my head, I think I fancy Jake Paul in that fight, if I’m being honest."
Frampton was confronted by Tommy's father John Fury at Tuesday's press conference for his other son Tyson's fight against Dillian Whyte.
And speaking afterwards, unbeaten light-heavyweight Tommy told iFLTV: "I think my dad was 100 per cent right in saying that to Carl.
"What he (John Fury) said, I didn't really hear it because I was doing interviews. But at the end of the day, for Carl to say that about me, picking a YouTuber before a boxer.
"And not just that, picking somebody else over your fellow countryman, I don't know where his head's at.
"But that's coming from a former world champion so obviously he doesn't know that much about the sport. I think it is very stupid of him to say something like that.
"He is a fighter I used to look up to and I watched a lot of his fights, but he is a man I haven't really got time for anymore.
"I haven't spoken to Carl about it and I don't really want to either. He is just a man I won't have anything to do with.
"If you are going to pick someone else over your fellow countryman regardless if you can fight or not, it is pretty bad job, isn't it?"
During an earlier exchange, John Fury clashed with Frampton in front of boxing fans at Tuesday's press conference.
"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."
