TYSON FURY joked his brother Tommy will “go mad” after he posed for a picture with rival Jake Paul.
Tyson’s younger sibling Tommy faces Paul on February 26 in Saudi Arabia in the latest rescheduling of their grudge match.
But the WBC heavyweight world champion has struck up a surprise friendship with the 6-0 YouTuber-turned boxer.
He even gatecrashed one of Paul’s interview and faked a punch – before giving the American a hug.
And after the two took a picture together, Tyson, 34, said: “I’m going to post that now and Tommy’s going to go mad!”
And Paul claimed the pair are best friends for life after posing with Tyson and his two sons.

He said: “I already said, we’re BFFLs.”
Tommy, 23, is finally set to get Jake, 26, in the ring having pulled out twice before amid injury and US visa issues.
And the pair of celebrity boxing rivals faced off for the first time last weekend at Wembley Arena.
Tyson was ringside and warned Paul to his face of the consequences for whoever loses the celebrity boxing bout.

He said: “The two guys are putting it on. They’re both undefeated and whoever loses is pretty much f****d, I think.
“There’s not a lot to say. It’s like me, when you speak a lot of s*** you have to back it up and that’s it.
“I’ve been doing these for years, 30-odd times in a row and now it’s time for the big boys to do it. I’m excited, I’m really excited.”
