What has been said?
Jake Paul: "It's finally official. Timothy had no choice but to sign the contract so he could finally pay his bar tabs, afford a shirt for the club, and stop living off Molly.
"December 18 in Tampa Bay I'm changing this w***er's name to Tommy Fumbles and celebrating with Tom Brady.
"Pucker up Timmy... it's time to kiss your last name and your family's boxing legacy goodbye."
Tommy Fury: “As soon as I heard about this fight I thought ‘easy money’, easy money because this is a bum who can’t fight.
“When he jumps through them ropes on December 18 and he realises that I’m not a YouTuber, I’m not a basketball player, I’m not a wrestler, I’m not a UFC fighter… I’m going to hit him with a nice sharp jab square in that big a* f**** jaw of his. He’s going to on the ropes thinking ‘what have I signed myself up for here?’
“I guarantee after four or five rounds he’s going to be giving it ‘pull me out, pull me out’. This is easy money for me.
“Thank you very much, don’t pull out and I’ll see you and your long a*** jaw on December 18. I can’t miss that jaw! I’m going to break it in the first round.
“You’re going to get a reality check on December 18.”
