Unbeaten light heavyweight contender Tommy Fury has continued to apply pressure to secure a fight with social media star Jake Paul.

Last Sunday, both Paul and Fury were featured in separate fights on Showtime Pay-Per-View card in Cleveland.

In the opening bout of the pay-per-view, Fury won a four round decision over combat sports veteran Anthony Taylor.

Paul was featured in the main event, which saw him win an eight round split decision over former UFC world champion Tyron Woodley.

Following his win, Paul and Fury had a tense verbal confrontation backstage.

Fury and Paul have been trading words for several months.

"It'd be over inside a round. From what I've seen against Tyron Woodley the other night, he's scared to throw a punch when he's in with somebody who could even knock him out," Fury told TMZ.

"He don't want to commit. He took one shot and nearly fell through the ropes. From what I seen the other day, I have my hands up, walk straight to him and get him out of there inside three minutes. My message to Jake Paul is that he's a massive p-ssy and he doesn't want to fight. He's not a fighting man. So when he grows a pair of bollocks, come and see me, but until then, don't mention my name ever again."

In a recent interview, promoter Eddie Hearn revealed his desire to see Paul step in the boxing ring with another UFC champion, Conor McGregor.

"I think he should fight Conor McGregor. I think he’s [Jake Paul] going to get beat sooner or later. So why not just go and fight Conor McGregor and make loads of money. It’s actually quite a good fight," Hearn said.

“I don’t know how they’re going to make the weight up. Could Jake get to 170? I don’t know. But just make the fight. Let them make a few quid and then walk off into the sunset.”
