    In his post fight interview he says thanks to the fans before calling out Jake Paul…
    ” I wanna say one thing, there is a certain b***h I want in this ring right now, tell him to get in here, because he would never have the balls to step in and fight a man of this calibre on a few hours notice.
    “Get him in this ring now, get in here now if you’re not a b***h.

    John starts shadow boxing towards Jake, and says “Forget my son, I’m the king of the bare knuckle!”

    “He’s a model, and he needs to stick to that.”
    “He got his girlfriend pregnant, the first time he’s not pulled out of something.”
    Fighting talk from Jake.
    It’s a little hesitant from Tommy in that second round, as they continue to feel each other out.

    Fury up next
    Tommy Fury’s return to the boxing ring is up NEXT.
    He was due to face Paul Bamba but a weight disagreement saw the American withdrawn.
    Instead, Fury will fight Rolly Lambert over six exhibition rounds. Due to the late notice nature of the bout, it’s not being professionally sanctioned.
    KSI is here!
    KSI just walked in, and the crowd has gone crazy.
    He will be here to watch his little brother, who is going to be in the ring with Floyd Mayweather later on tonight!
    KSI, on the other hand, has already been called out tonight by Tyron Woodley, and we could see some business being done behind the scenes…
    Not much of an exhibition…
    That was a real fight!
    J’hon Ingram and Kouzi were both impressive there, but it must be said that Ingram came out of it the better of the two of them.
    Still full credit to Kouzi, and both fighters arms are raised after this exhibition.
    Round three. Ingram vs Kouzi.
    Ingram is working a variety of shots in this third round, and these two are really going at it now.
    Ingram gets some good uppercuts on Kouzi, and it must be said that he is still on top here.
    Kouzi wears a big shot on the ropes, and credit to him for taking a few of those.

    Taylor, 33, came out the traps quick in the first round, pouring on the pressure.
    He landed a decent number of combinations as Fincham did his best to work behind the jab but struggled to deal with the pressure.
    Taylor finished the round by landing a massive right hand which Fincham took well and kept coming forward.

    The third round was a thrilling affair with both men landing big right hands.
    Taylor ended the fight on top, landing a huge combination with a right hand rocking Fincham’s head back.

    Taylor shouted: “I’m not a prelim guy, the fight is off. I’m going home. I’m going home, I’m going to the airport.
    “I’m not fighting on the prelims, bro. I was promised pay-per-view. Fight’s off, I’m getting my s*** and I’m going.”
    SunSport understands Taylor, 33, was alerted his bout with Fincham, 31, would be on the prelim section of the card, not PPV.
    And he was seen at the hotel entrance, with his bags packed, ready to leave for the airport.

    Taylor has since confirmed he will be in action, tweeting: “The problem has been fixed! I’m still fighting.”

    Bamba was left fuming after he scaled within the 175lb light-heavyweight limit, while Fury came in at 181.4lb.
    The American, 33, who conceded half a STONE, wanted to be paid compensation.
    But despite two days of negotiations, no settlement was reached despite the best efforts of Fury’s dad John.

    “The weight in my contract, I made yesterday so as far as I’m concerned, I’ve done my job. I made weight.
    “Paul Bamba does not want to fight, he never did. I’m here in Dubai, I’ve got a new opponent and I’m ready to go.”
