Jake Paul raised the stakes of his fight with Tommy Fury when he shook hands with him on a ‘Double or nothing’ deal. It is not a secret that Paul likes to go big on his fights and makes all the efforts to do so. But before his fight with Fury, he put down a deal with the British boxer to double the latter’s purse if he won. But it seems like Paul is yet to fulfill the deal. Paul owes money to Tommy TNT, and the Fury family wants Jake Paul to fulfill his promise.
