    And YouTuber turned boxer Paul couldn’t resist the opportunity to poke fun at the Love Islander stars – who he ribbed with a crude jibe.
    He quote-tweeted pictures from the pair’s announcement video and wrote: “Shocking. Tommy usually pulls out.”
    Paul’s jibe was in reference to his two cancelled fights with Fury – the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson.
    The pair – who began their feud on social media – were first scheduled to do battle last December in Florida.

    The Tampa tussle, however, fell through days before the bout as Fury was forced to withdraw due to injury.
    Fury and Paul, 23 and 25 respectively, were matched up again for August 6 but their clash collapsed again as the former had issues entering the United States.
    Fury was stopped from boarding a plane to New York for a pre-fight press conference in June just weeks after brother Tyson was prevented from entering the States due to his association with alleged Irish mob boss Daniel Kinahan.
    Former Disney star Paul is adamant he’d wipe the floor with Fury, saying: “Look, it will be the last payday of his life, from boxing at least.

    “Like this guy is not going to be able to walk outside anymore.
    “So, it’s actually probably smarter for him not to fight me.”
    Fury and Paul were on FaceTime with one another on Saturday night ahead of Amanda Serrano’s clash with Sarah Mahfoud.

    Paul told Fury: “Tommy, let’s make the fight happen buddy. Let’s make it happen.”

    Gemma had hers customised with her famous Dad’s number
