TYSON FURY warned his brother Tommy must ‘fly to a foreign country’ if he fails to beat Jake Paul and ‘ain’t coming home’.
Fury is training and set to corner Tommy for the celebrity grudge match on December 18 in Florida.
The pair attended a pre-fight press conference, held in Tampa, on Zoom, where the Gypsy King laid out the consequences if his brother suffers defeat.
Fury, 33, said: “I think this is really good fight for everybody who is going to be watching around the world.
“There’s going to be a lot of people watching. A lot of people are interested in this fight.
“You’ve got two young, undefeated guys. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be an excellent night. I think Tommy will knock him out.
“No disrespect to Jake Paul, but like I said to Tommy, if he can’t knock Jake Paul out, fly to a foreign country and stay there because he ain’t coming home.”
Tommy, 22, is usually coached and cornered by his dad John, but due to his father’s prior criminal conviction, he is unable to travel Stateside.
It means Fury and his trainer Sugarhill Steward are leading the training camp.
Tommy was in America with Sugarhill but was forced to fly home to England due to a family emergency, so spoke at the presser virtually.
He said: “I feel like I’ve won the lottery.
“You’re asking me to fight on a massive world stage, you’re going to pay me nicely, and all I’ve got to do is fight Jake Paul. A YouTuber.
“I’m going to splatter him December 18. I’ve won the lottery. I’m begging Jake Paul, please do not pull out.
“Because normally, when we get to this stage in boxing, you’ve got to fight for a world title. But I’m fighting a YouTuber. Sign me up.”

Paul beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in his last fight and Fury won against his sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, on the undercard.
The YouTuber, 24, previously stopped online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
Tommy said: “You fought a 40-year-old guy in your last fight. He hit you with one proper punch and you fell through the ropes.
“When I come for you, I’m knocking you spark out. You fought retired UFC people, a basketball player and that’s it.
“When you fight me December 18, you’re getting knocked spark out. This is a step too far for you. Stick to YouTube because that’s all you’re good for.
“I’m going to show you what losing feels like.”
