Perhaps the most heated came in November as Tommy fought on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition bout with Deji.
Fury Senior tore his shirt off and tried to get through the ropes to Paul who was commentating at the time but he dismissed it as just harmless fun.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror Fury Senior expressed that he does in fact like the Youtuber turned boxer.
He said: “I like the kid, I like him and his brother Logan, I like all of them YouTubers, they bring good stuff and at the end of the day I’m excited talking to them.”

He added: “Old people, like me, can get good vibes off young people and I love to see young people doing well in life and that’s what the Pauls have done. As well as all the other YouTubers, KSI, Salt Papi, they’re all great for the job aren’t they?”
Fury Senior is in no doubt about who will win and believes Tommy and Paul could even become friends after their grudge fight.
He said: ” I’m one million per cent confident it will be Tommy, but I’m sure they can be friends after.
“They’re just young lads doing their job and Jake Paul is very good at that job! I’m having a game with him like he’s having a game with me, always remember that. I’m an old, experienced guy in this field.”

Their beef, however, didn’t stop Paul from cosying up to Tyson after having an interview gatecrashed by the Gypsy King last month.
Tyson refrained from revealing his prediction for the fight in the presence of Paul, but he expects little brother Tommy to put a one-sided beating on The Problem Child.
Tommy told Fight Hype: “Tyson is, in my opinion, the greatest fighter ever, obviously the heavyweight champion of the world currently.
“He said to me, ‘This fight is a one-horse race, there’s no way this guy can last with you, it is what is, it’s a big event but it’s an easy fight for you.’

“At the end of the day, that’s coming from Tyson. That’s the guy of the minute.
“What he doesn’t know about boxing isn’t worth knowing.
“Every person that knows their boxing knows what this is and knows what’s going to happen on that night.”
Tommy, 23, has had to endure two years of verbal and social media jabs from former Disney star Paul.

American Paul even went as far as to reveal the birth of Tommy’s daughter – Bambi – with long-term girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague.
And Tommy plans to brutally make him eat every last one of his words in their DirIyah dust-up.
He told TMZ: “My message to Jake Paul is good luck and I hope you’ve trained and I hope you got an ambulance on speed dial because you’re gonna need it.
“This is all that’s been in my mind for the past two and a half, three years because I’m a professional, legitimate fighter.
“And my name has been lingering with Jake Paul for quite some time now and Jake Paul is not on my level.

And he was critical of John’s involvement in Tommy’s training camp just as Tyson burst through the door.
The heavyweight champion faked a punch to Paul before the two embraced and even posed for a picture.
But Tommy slammed the YouTuber-turned boxer for switching up so quickly and not standing his ground.
He told Queensberry Promotions: “I’ve seen it, it’s all the makings of a s***house.

“He was talking s*** about my dad, saying he didn’t know anything about boxing, he didn’t know how to train fighters and what not.
“But then Tyson walked in the room all of a sudden and he’s up his a*** a hundred miles. You can just tell a fighter when you see one.
“A legitimate fighter would say what he’s saying and it doesn’t matter who walks in the room, they’d still stand by it. ‘Yeah, that’s what I think.’
“But for him, Tyson walked in the room and he crumbled, s*** himself. So that’s the measure of the man I’m dealing with.”

Paul, 26, jetted in from Dubai where he had been training to face off with Fury, 23, at Wembley Arena.
And he fumed further when his rival no-showed their kick-off press conference in Saudi Arabia.
But Fury – who twice pulled out of the bout due to injury and visa issues – insisted he is the more focused fighter at hand.
He said: “This man is a fruit loop, you see him all the time on the internet, YouTubers doing odd things, this is just him and he’s taken a liking to boxing.
“He’s thought he’ll have a go at it and that’s it. You’ve got one man playing at it and one man that’s training like a trojan. I sleep, eat, train and repeat.
“I’m not flying about on no private jet emptying my tank. I go to the gym, eat my food and I go to bed.
“I’m not playing at this game, it’s very serious to me. But again, it’s just business, this man is another opponent, it’s all he is to me.
“He’s like another journeyman, not interested. He’s just another step along the way in my career, that’s it.”

John revealed Tommy has sparred over 100 rounds for his fight with YouTuber-turned boxer Paul in Saudi Arabia.
And he remains bullish that defeat for his son would cause his boxing career to come to a close.
John said: “Listen, losing is not an option for Tommy.
“But for some miraculous reason Tommy loses, it would be over for him. It would have to be. It’s the easiest fight in the world for Tommy.
