JAKE PAUL rubbed salt into Tommy Fury’s wounds by offering Molly-Mae Hague a JOB – in the wake of the shock celebrity break-up.
Fury was dumped by Molly-Mae – who he met on reality TV show Love Island in 2019 – last week amid allegations of cheating.
It came over a year after the unbeaten boxer, 25, became the first, and so far only, man to defeat Paul in the ring.
YouTuber megastar-turned-fighter Paul has since offered Fury a very lucrative rematch on Netflix – which was rejected and instead accepted by ring legend Mike Tyson.
And Paul – speaking at a Professional Fighters League media event – revelled in pointing out that was seemingly just one of many mistakes his ring rival has made in recent times.
Paul, 27, grinned: “He definitely continues to devalue himself over time.

“Saying no to the Netflix opportunity was probably the dumbest thing a boxer in history has done.
“You literally have the opportunity to fight on the biggest platform and now… his value just keeps on going down.
“He’s gonna need extra money now and all that. The price and offers on our end are going to keep going down.
“But definitely feel bad for him but also, you’re a dumbass.”

Paul recently celebrated the launch of his men’s health line W and recruited the likes of rapper and model Rubi Rose as an ambassador.
And the master marketer cheekily opened the door to hiring Molly-Mae, in a brutal dig at Fury following their very public split.
Paul chuckled: “It’s not a bad idea, Molly-Mae – we’re going to bring you in on W.”
Despite the swipes, Paul did express sympathy for Fury and Molly-Mae’s one-year-old daughter Bambi.
Paul said: “I just hope they’re figuring it out and figuring it out with the kid and stuff like that.
“But, I’m still going to beat his ass as a single father.”
Paul lost a split-decision to Fury in Saudi Arabia and offered him a rematch as part of Netflix’s first move into live boxing.
Timeline of Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury’s split
After five years together, Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury split up in August 2024.
At around 4pm on Wednesday, August 14, Molly-Mae and Tommy suffer an explosive showdown and Molly-Mae announces her split from fiancé Tommy Fury, saying ‘ I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way’.
An hour later Tommy shares a separate and brief statement confirming they have parted ways, and thanks Molly-Mae for making him ‘a dad’.
The real reason they split emerges and on Thursday, August 15 The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae learned Tommy had cheated on her – leading to an explosive showdown.
On Saturday, August 17, The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae had been sent an upsetting video showing Tommy kissing a girl in a nightclub in North Macedonia on a lads holiday – leading her to dump him and kick him out of their home.
Exactly one week after the split a Danish woman accused of getting close to Tommy in North Macedonia speaks to The Sun. On Wednesday, August 21, she denies she is the girl who kissed Tommy.
Thursday, August 22, a second woman comes forward and claims Tommy sent her flirty messages after they met at a nightclub in Mancheser.
After it was turned down, heavyweight boxing icon Tyson, 58, accepted with the controversial clash set for November 15.
But Paul still wants to avenge the sole loss on his 11-fight record and warned he is a new man over 12 months on from defeat.
He said: “I need to do that, all the fans want it. It’s a massive fight, it was a good fight.

“So, I need to go back and avenge my loss and for me that will be very pleasurable and I believe that I will wipe the floor with Tommy Fury now.
“My skill-level is just on a different, different level. I’m not even the same fighter any more.”
