In an interview with Pro Boxing Fans, Carl Frampton avoided making another prediction for Tommy Fury vs. Jake Paul. This comes after issues Frampton has had with Tyson and Tommy Fury's father, John.
Jokingly, when asked if his prediction of Fury vs. Paul has remained the same, Frampton made his quick exit by stating:
"Taxi's here, I have to go!"
Frampton initially predicted that Jake Paul had a decent shot of beating Tommy Fury. This resulted in an enraged John Fury confronting him after the press conference for Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte:
"You've disappointed me, and I looked up to you and I supported you. Honest? Saying a YouTuber could beat a Fury?"
After the argument, it appears Carl Frampton has decided it is safest for him to leave the Furys out of his fight predictions.
