Mental games? Jake Paul buys Tommy Fury’s daughter a ‘designer’ GIFT and apologizes for announcing the birth of the Love Island star’s first child ahead of Sunday’s showdown in Saudi Arabia.
Jake Paul appears to have put his rivalry with Tommy Fury on hold, at least for a few minutes, after buying a gift for his nemesis’ newborn daughter, Bambi.
The American leaked the announcement of Bambi’s birth on social media, before sending a sinister threat to her father by claiming she had arrived “just in time to see her father get knocked out”.
But the Youtuber-turned-boxer appeared to genuinely apologize for his actions in taking away the moment from the new parents, gifting Fury with premium brand Bonpoint baby clothes, which Fury accepted.
John Fury then went up to the platform where the conversation was being filmed and shook Paul’s hand, claiming that he had ‘moved up’ in his estimate in the perhaps surprising display of maturity.
“I just want to say that I didn’t mean to leak your baby announcement,” Paul begins in the clip. “Actually, I gave Bambi a present as a ‘sorry’!
Jake Paul (L) bought a gift for Bambi, the newborn daughter of his rival Tommy Fury (R), after making the announcement of her birth.
The pair will finally meet in the ring after a long-running rivalry on Sunday in Saudi Arabia.
‘It’s a very good, this is a great designer brand for babies.’
‘Well thank you very much, I’m sure she’ll appreciate you,’ Fury replied as a round of applause erupted from the onlookers.
‘You’re up 1,000,000 percent in my estimate, son, and may the best man win, I appreciate you, and may the best man win. Good Guy!’ added Fury’s father, John, before returning to him off-camera.
Although ‘The Problem Child’ seemed sincere in his gesture, the pair have had a heated and intense rivalry for some time now.
They had been scheduled to meet twice in the ring, only Fury withdrew both times, leaving the prospect of a clash at risk of collapse.
And in the run-up to the fight, which takes place in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, the pair have traded more verbal jabs, with Paul criticizing Fury’s physique on Twitter and the Brit vowing his rival will feel “every one of my sacrifices.” ‘.
The dispute has also seen members of Fury’s family, famous for their boxing heritage, come in and weigh in.
John Fury took off his top and challenged Paul to a fight after his son Tommy’s fight with Rolly Lambert in November, declaring himself the “naked man king” as well as stating that Fury doesn’t “deserve to get paid” if he can’t beat the american.
The pair will finally look to settle the score when they go head-to-head on the third question.
This weekend’s main event between Paul and Fury will take place at the Diriyah Arena.
Fury’s father, John, rushed to the stage and thanked Paul for the gesture before the fight.
And Tommy’s heavyweight champion half-brother Tyson Fury has claimed that the 23-year-old cannot take Paul for granted and should stay in Saudi Arabia if he does not beat the American.
It’s not the first time Paul has given his opponent a gift, having bought Tyron Woodley a Rolex watch before their 2021 matchup.
Paul on that occasion knocked out the former UFC American welterweight champion in the sixth round of their second meeting.
However, if it was an attempt by Paul to get into his opponent’s head before the highly anticipated fight, Fury seemed to appreciate the gesture.
