Jake Paul appeared to express his amusement on social media after it was revealed that the fight between old foe Tommy Fury and Darren Till has been shelved.
Fury, who is the younger brother of the former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, took to Instagram to reveal the news that the bout has been cancelled. Having been scheduled for Jan. 18 in Manchester, it now appears to not be going ahead as planned, with the fighter revealing: “I can’t believe I’m writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18th 2025.
“For the one simple reason being that Darren has stated over and over that he does not want to abide by professional boxing rules and that if he is losing the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics.

“I am a professional boxer, I have been out of the ring for over a year and I wanted this to be a great BOXING fight for the fans. I have wasted weeks in training camp. We are working hard to get a new opponent and date. I promise to get a better opponent and better fight for you guys. Good news around the corner.”
The warring pair had been slated to do battle at Co-op Live Arena but it appears that Fury has been left irked by former UFC star Till’s previous proclamations at a press conference before the bout. Appearing to suggest that he would use MMA moves during the fight, the Liverpudlian said: “At the end of the day, I cant beat you, Ill just kick you in the face in there.
“How about that? Im a proper fighter, not a boxer. I dont walk in a room like this and see boxing and go, ‘s—‘. “If I want to kick you or elbow you in the face, I will, and no one can do anything about it.”
Taking to Twitter/X, the social media sensation Jake Paul appeared to mock the situation. The American, whose only professional defeat came against Fury last year, seemed amused by the news of the fight’s apparent cancellation, simply posting: “Hahahaha.”
It now remains to be seen whether the Brit will still fight on Jan. 18 in Manchester, with the boxer having revealed in his statement that he is on the lookout for a “better opponent”. Either way, the 25-year-old’s frustration was palpable as he admitted he felt he had “wasted weeks” putting in preparations ahead of facing Till.
The MMA star has now responded to Fury’s cancellation, taking to X to say: “Tommy Fury u are the biggest s——- I have ever met in my life do not ever call yourself a fighter again I was selling the fight to make me and you more money you absolute empty head fighting family my a—.
“You and ur dad s——– I dont need to throw kicks you was getting knocked spark out you divvy we was making bank on this fight cos of me not you I was building it you should be fighting and should be thanking me over and out no one wants to fight me Jake Paul what are you up to you big fat dummy?”
