Over the past few days, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have engaged in tremendous back and forth on social media. The pair have challenged each other for a fight long back, but there’s still no concrete news as to when their bout will come to life. However, that hasn’t stopped either of the two from launching verbal shots at each other.

Jake Paul, who is known for giving his opponents unusual challenges, challenged ‘TNT’ with an unusual wager. He claimed that should Tommy lose, he would have to change his last name to Fumbles for an entire year. This change would even include his social media handles and would require him to use the name in all forms of media.

‘TNT’ recently responded to the same. He said, “Get that sent over to my lawyers asap right now. We’ll get locked and sorted because there’s not a chance in hell you’re winning this fight. You leaving on a stretcher, you getting knocked spark out as well you know it. Get over to me now.”
