The long-awaited boxing clash between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury is finally slated for February 26 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The social media star confirmed the news earlier last week in a tweet.
However, in his callout to 'TNT', Paul also leaked the birth of the Love Island star's newborn child. The former Disney star's post read:
"Tommy has no excuses now…Baby’s born. Money’s massive. Immigration no issue. Tyson promises he & Papa will make Tommy retire from boxing & change his last name if he can’t beat the YouTuber. Tmw I’m coming to London to look at all 3 Fury’s in the eye & shake on that promise."

Seeing as Fury and his partner Molly-Mae Hague are yet to confirm the news of the birth themselves, Paul was heavily criticized on social media for his behavior.
According to a tweet by talkSPORT's Michael Benson, 'The Problem Child' has since apologized for his actions in an interview with SPORTbible, albeit in a sarcastic manner:
"Did I do that? I leaked it? Oh s***. My bad. I’m sorry Tommy, but don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone the gender or anything like that."
Jake Paul predicts the round he would knock out Tommy Fury
Jake Paul seems confident of beating Tyson Fury's younger brother Tommy come February 26.
During a recent interview with iFL TV, Paul predicted that he would knock 'TNT' out within three rounds of their boxing match. 'The Problem Child' went one step further and revealed that he'd be trying to shut the Brit's lights out with a left hook:
"Me and Tommy? It'll be like three rounds max, three rounds max. He's just not going to be prepared for the moment or what I'm bringing to the table. I'm trying to knock him out with a hook actually. I want him to be the first person I knock out with my left hand. So we've been working on that."
