Jake Paul returns to training with brother Logan as Tommy Fury’s dad accuses YouTuber of ‘being greedy’ in negotiations

JAKE PAUL has returned to training with his brother Logan - but Tommy Fury's dad John accused him of 'being greedy' in negotiations.

The YouTube sensation was pictured in a gym in his new adopted training base of Puerto Rico.

It comes while Paul is in talks to fight Fury, the brother to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, who also featured on the 2019 edition of Love Island.

His promoter Frank Warren revealed a deal is nearing completion, but dad John hit out at the social media star.

John told . "We're nearly there with the business side of it with Jake Paul.

"They're being greedy, but like I say, we know our worth, we want as much as we can out of this job.

"But we're nearly there, this fight is going to happen, we're 99.9 per cent of the way there.

"It's almost done, we've just got a few T's to cross and I's to dot and we're nearly there over the line, but it will happen.

"Will Tommy beat Jake Paul? Absolutely. He's a silly man because believe me, like Jake Paul is saying, if Tommy lost to Jake Paul, he would have to change his name to 'Tommy Fumbles'.

"Plus Tyson would batter him, Hughie would batter him, Shane would batter him, and we would retire him from boxing there and then, so there's no pressure really!"

Tommy, 22, admitted he rejected two deals to fight Paul, 24, believing he was being lowballed.

But hope was not lost and talks continued, with Paul even adding an extra wager for the loser.

He will have to pay Fury an additional $500,000 if he loses, but should he win, the light-heavyweight would have to change his surname to 'Fumbles'.

The deal was accepted and promoter Warren confirmed talks are progressing well for a fight by the year's end.

Warren told : “At the moment we're working through the terms, we're quite close and I'm hoping we can get it over the line.

They're being greedy, but like I say, we know our worth, we want as much as we can out of this job.

“It's a great fight for Tommy. It's a very lucrative fight for him. Financially, how can you not turn that down? 

“I think he wins it. It's captured everyone's imagination, it's all they were talking about out in the States. 

"Hopefully, we will finish it off this week and we can move forward. It'll be in late November, December.” 

Paul only turned pro in January 2020 and did so with a stoppage in the first round against online rival 'AnEsonGib'.

He then knocked out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, both 37.

But his biggest win to date came in August against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, on points over eight rounds.

On the undercard, Tommy beat Paul's sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, in what was a successful Stateside debut.
