JAKE PAUL has attempted to goad Tommy Fury by claiming his girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague once slid into his DMs.
The YouTuber could be about to fight Love Island star Fury next following his first-round win over Ben Askren.
And Paul has upped the ante in the pair’s war of words with a low blow by suggesting that Molly-Mae was interested in him first.
The 24-year-old avoided details about what the message allegedly contained but claimed it was sent before she met Tommy on Love Island in 2019.
Paul shared the information in an interview with ES News in which he also laid out the one condition for agreeing to fight the younger Fury.
He said: “I’m going to plant the seed now.
Tommy is weak… and Tommy’s girlfriend DM’d me before they went on that reality show

“Tommy Fury vs me and Michael Hunter against Tyson Fury on the same night.
“Tommy is weak… and Tommy’s girlfriend [Molly-Mae Hague] DM’d me before they went on that reality show.”
Paul has form for taunting his rivals by mentioning their other halves after he made derogatory remarks about Conor McGregor’s partner Dee Devlin.
The American secured his third professional boxing win when he savagely KO’d Ben Askren in the first minute of round one at the weekend.

Fury then took to social media to publicly call out ‘The Problem Child’ by tweeting: “I’m ready to give the people what they want.”
The feud began when WBC champ Tyson implored Paul to take on his younger brother.
Light-heavyweight Tommy boasts an impressive pro boxing record with five wins from five fights, the last four all by knockout.
