‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul is a master when it comes to promotion and selling his fights. Paul knows when and what to talk about, in order to grab the attention of the fans and that’s a great skill in itself besides boxing. But this time he may have crossed some lines according to fans. He recently dropped a comment on an Instagram post made by Molly-Mae Hague, wife of Tommy Fury, and fans are not happy about it. So what was the comment?
Jake Paul is a YouTuber who is now a full-fledged boxer now.

And usually, fans have a fun time watching Paul doing what he does but this time fans abhorred when Jake Paul went after the family of Tommy Fury.

Molly-May Hague and Tommy Fury have been blessed with a newborn recently. And they posted an adorable picture together on Instagram this Monday. Molly-May Hague and Tommy Fury met on the 19th season of a TV reality show, ‘Love Island’ for the first time and have been together since then. The couple shares a good history together and has now taken their relationship to the next stage, a stage of catering to a part of themselves.
And the moment was interrupted when Jake Paul dropped an outlandish comment on Molly Hague’s Instagram post, talking about knocking out the baby’s father. The comment has been deleted. But, Michael Benson, boxing editor at talkSPORTS, tweeted the screenshot of Jake Paul’s comment. Paul wrote, “Just in time to watch your dad get knocked out“. Maybe Jake Paul was frustrated because Tommy Fury didn’t show up to their face-to-face interview. This upset many fans for obvious reasons.
This is not the first time Jake Paul has hindered Tommy Fury’s personal life. Before this, while announcing the fight, Paul revealed the news of the baby. He apologized later, as he said that he didn’t realize he did that but then turned that into sarcasm too. He remarked that the young Fury doesn’t need to worry as he won’t be revealing the baby’s gender.
Fans abhorred the comment
This time, most of the fans condemned Jake Paul’s behavior as they never subscribed to missing their personal life with professional life. Fans love the trash talk as long as it has something to do with the fight, nobody likes it when a fighter goes against another fighter’s family.
One of the fans said that Paul went “too far” with his comment.
