Jake Paul raises suspicion over Tommy Fury's superhero-like physique ahead of upcoming showdown

YouTube megastar-turned-boxer Jake Paul has weighed in on Tommy Fury's superhero-like physique ahead of their highly-anticipated showdown.

Comparing the UK pugilist to Marvel Comics character 'The Incredible Hulk,' Paul seemingly suggested that Fury might have used steroids to prepare for their fight.

Heading into the much-awaited Paul-Fury matchup, Top Rank Boxing's Twitter account posted a tweet featuring a couple of photographs of Tommy Fury. A statement attached to the tweet highlighted that Fury's in the best shape of his life leading up to his clash against 'The Problem Child.' The tweet read as follows:

"Built for this moment @TommyTNTFury has arrived to #PaulFury in the best shape of his life."

Jake Paul subsequently responded to the aforementioned tweet by drawing parallels between Tommy Fury and 'The Incredible Hulk,' a fictional character known for his highly muscular physique. Jibing at 'TNT' and insinuating that the latter's imposing physique might be a result of using banned PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs), Paul tweeted:

"3 DAYS TILL I FIGHT THE INCREDIBLE HULK!!!"

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have been bitter rivals over the past few years. Their fight was first scheduled to transpire in December 2021 and later in August 2022. However, it fell apart on both occasions, as Fury withdrew due to injury issues in 2021 and visa/travel issues in 2022.

Furthermore, speaking of Paul's latest steroid use jibe at 'TNT,' one ought to note that it was the Fury camp that first accused the American fighter of using steroids.

Prior to their scheduled fight in 2021, Fury's team alleged that Paul had refused to undergo VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association) drug testing. As seen in the video below, Paul fired back by claiming that the entire Fury boxing family is shady and indicating that 'TNT' was the one using steroids.

Back in January of this year, when the Paul-Fury fight was yet to be officially announced, Ariel Helwani reported that both Paul and Fury had voluntarily enrolled to undergo VADA drug testing. He also cited Inside Fighting and noted that their fight will take place in Saudi Arabia. Helwani tweeted:

"Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are both enrolled in the @Vada_Testing program for their Feb. 25 fight, per sources. The fight, which has yet to be officially announced, is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia. (@InsideFighting_ first reported the location.)" [sic]
