Jake Paul shocked the boxing world when he offered Tommy Fury a “Double or nothing” deal before their boxing match. According to the deal, Jake had to double Tommy’s agreed-upon fight purse from the fight if the latter won. Fury prevailed in the fight, and it seems Paul owes him money.
The Youtuber turned boxer is yet to pay the money he owes to Fury. Recently, John Fury, the father of Tommy Fury, followed the British heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora in calling out Paul for not fulfilling his obligation.
Chisora took to Twitter and shared a video of himself discussing the deal between the boxers before the fight and thinks that Paul should keep his word. John Fury also followed suit.

Chisora said, “Tommy and Jake shook hands on a deal. So I think Tommy should get money off Jake Paul.”
He further added, “You don’t need a contract. You don’t need anything. You shake hands; you pay the man you shook hands with.”
Chisora further went on to show a clip of him with the official contract which Jake Paul signed. According to Chisora, Paul should do the honorable thing and keep his word.
Meanwhile, Michael Benson on Twitter shared a video posted by John Fury calling out Jake Paul to pay the money he owes to Tommy.
He said, “Jake, you know what you gonna do. We had a deal made; had a handshake. We said we’d box for free if we got defeated.”
It seems like the Fury family is not pleased by the ‘Problem child’ not keeping his promise. Recently, Tyson Fury mocked the Ohio-born internet sensation on his Instagram by sharing a spoof video.
John Fury is seemingly now calling for Jake Paul to honour his handshake with Tommy Fury and pay him double his purse, despite Tommy not signing the contract (video cuts off halfway through John's sentence)…
