JOHN FURY fears his boy Tommy will NEVER fight Jake Paul – like has been the case with his other son Tyson and Anthony Joshua.
Tommy has twice withdrawn from facing Paul in the past, due to a rib injury last December and US visa issue in August.
The pair of celebrity boxing rivals are now in talks to reschedule once more for early next year but John doubts a deal will ever be reached.
He told FreeBets: “I see this Tommy and Jake thing being like Tyson and AJ. Never going to happen.
“There’s been a lot of talk, a lot of hype and it’s never happened. I think this is heading in the same way.
“I’m sick of it now, I’m not going to chase it anymore, If they’re not prepared to pay Tommy what he’s worth.

“They want it all. They want the lions share and more of the lions share than they think.
“We’re not going to box for less than Tommy’s worth, so I can’t see the fight happening.
“It’s going to be one of them: the fight that never happens.”
Paul, 25, most recently beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in October, the biggest win in his 6-0 career.

Meanwhile Tommy, 23, returned this month in a last-minute exhibition bout against replacement Rolly Lambert, 33.
Paul Bamba, 33, was withdrawn on the day due to a weight disagreement and Paul was a special guest commentator on the night.
After Tommy cruised past six rounds, the two clashed on the ring apron and agreed to fight in 2023.
Both camps have confirmed negotiations are underway but John claimed they are being lowballed.
He said: “Like AJ and Tyson, it’s unfortunate, but we want what we’re worth.
“We’re not making up numbers, the Fury’s are the biggest name in boxing. Jake Paul thinks that he’s A side, but I’m telling you he’s not.
“The Fury’s are the A side because when you get into the ring boxing, whatever type of combat sport it is with gloves on, that’s our field of expertise.
“That’s what we do and that’s what Tommy does. Jake Paul’s made his living through YouTube filming mad events. We’re fighters.
“If the fight isn’t on at least a level playing field with us, the fight will never happen, it’s that simple.
“I’m sick of hearing Jake Paul’s name, if I never heard it again that would suit me.”
