The younger Fury has backed out of the press conference as he needs time to train and after hearing that the 26-year-old American posted a tweet labeling the Brit and his father as “scared people.”
âTommy Fury is scared. Told my team he canât make the kick-off press conference next week in Saudi Arabia because he needs more time to train. Thought you said you wouldnât even have to train to fight me? You and your papa scared. #MikePerryâ

There was a hashtag mentioning Mike Perry, who would be the standby fighter for the upcoming Magnum Opus event. So, fans got curious, and some started thinking that Tyson Furyâs half-brother might opt out of the fight again.
In the tweet the former Disney star even referred to an old comment of the Brit where he said he would not have to train to take down Jake Paul,
âThe kidâs a novice, heâs never fought anyone good,â Tommy Fury said about Jake Paul at the MMA Hour. âHeâs never even fought an eight round fight. He just doesnât have the experience like I do, which is crazy to say because heâs been doing it his whole life, but people call him a professional boxer and they respect him as a professional boxer. So I would love to strip that title from him.â
âI wouldnât even have to actually train for that fight. I would still train because Iâm a professional, but I wouldnât have to train to fight him.â
However, while confirming the fight, Tommy responded to the younger Paulâs tweet and called him a âSweaty Goth.â
âThe press conference can wait until I get to Saudi Arabia you fool. Iâll be there on the 16th. 3 weeks and itâs over you big stiff sweaty gothđ¤Łâ
