Tommy Fury feels Jake Paul's MMA venture is a result of him knowing the outcome on February 26

Tommy Fury does not have anything kind to say about Jake Paul's recent venture into the world of MMA.

Paul recently signed a multi-year deal with the PFL, which will see him compete in an MMA fight for the first time later this year. Under the agreement, 'The Problem Child' also owns shares in the organization.

In a recent interview with JOE, Tommy Fury was asked for his thoughts on Paul's deal. 'TNT' stated that Paul was not fully focused on their upcoming clash and claimed that Paul completed the PFL deal because he is already aware of the outcome of their fight on February 26.

"It just shows who the professional is here, isn't it? He's doing all these signings, deals, MMA and all sorts of stuff, and I'm in the gym grinding. You know, I'm not focusing on anything else other than beating Jake Paul... He's focused on flying halfway around the world, doing whatever... I'm in the gym every day preparing to KO this man and that's the difference. And I do believe he signed his MMA contract and he has teamed-up [with] the MMA stuff because he knows what's gonna happen to him on the 26th."

Jake Paul speaks on Tommy Fury possibly withdrawing from the fight again

Jake Paul has stated that he is still a little doubtful as to whether Tommy Fury will show up for the fight or not.

In a recent press conference, 'The Problem Child' expressed his worries but said it would be 'dumb' for Fury not to show up as he would receive a good amount of money for the fight:

"A part of me definitely still doubts and it's scary and it's annoying and him now showing up to the face-to-face we were supposed to do right now, it sucks. The kid's not necessarily reliable. But the money's good for him. So it would just be so dumb. And I think he's probably tired of Molly [Fury's girlfriend] making all the money in the relationship. He's got a kid now and he needs to help pay for some diapers."
