TYSON FURY’S father John accepted Jake Paul’s offer for a boxing match – but for now all he focus is on the real thing.
Paul has been embroiled in a heated feud with Tyson’s brother Tommy, who he finally confronts in the ring on Sunday night.
But at one stage the Problem Child claimed he was no longer interested in locking horns with the Love Islander and would prefer a fight with Tyson or his dad.
John responded by saying he would “make him look stupid” if they met in the ring.
Tyson’s father was so keen to battle the YouTuber he even offered to fight his dad as well.
John told FreeBets at the time: “If a young man wants to pay me right enough I’ll get in with him.

“I’d like to start with Jake Paul. I could make him look stupid.
“ if he doesn’t want to fight my son, I will fight him. And I’ll fight his father.”
This comes after Paul shared videos on his Instagram story mocking John’s boxing career.
The American showed clips of Fury Sr losing against the likes of Henry Akinwande and Steve Garber from back in the day.

Paul previously said: “No one can beat me, so how is this delusional kid [Tommy] who thinks he’s his brother, you know.
“He really thinks he’s his brother. He has the ego of his brother, he has the bravado of his brother, but he fights like s**t, like his dad.
“His dad was a s****y fighter, not that many people know but you can go type in John Fury getting knocked out multiple times, it’s all over YouTube.”
