| EXCLUSIVE: Jake Paul Claims Unsettled Tension With Tommy Fury Despite Showing 'Respect' YouTuber and former wrestler Jake Paul has opened up about his relationship with professional boxer Tommy Fury, admitting there is an "unsettled tension" between them despite showing respect for each other. In an exclusive interview, Paul revealed that there has been a marked shift in the relationship between the two since the pair initially met in 2019. Paul, who stands at a towering 6ft 2in, said that while they both "appreciate" each other, there is an underlying sense of rivalry due to their differences in background and their respective heights. "We both come from different worlds," Paul told Daily Mail. "My respect for him and his respect for me is always there, but there is a kind of tension between us because of the height difference between us. I'm 6ft 2in and he's 5ft 9in, and that creates a dynamic of competition between us." Paul says that both he and Fury share a mutual admiration for each other and this has been evident on various occasions, but the root cause of the tension is the disparity in their respective backgrounds. "We both appreciate what we bring to the table, but the bigger thing here is the difference in where we come from," he added. Despite the rivalry, Paul says that he holds Fury in high regard and has shown support for his career as an up and coming boxer. "I've said it many times, I respect him and I'm really happy to see the success he's seeing," he said. It's clear that there is an unsettled tension between the two, with Paul explaining that the core of the issue is the difference between Jake Paul's height and Fury's. However, the YouTuber is still showing his support for Fury's career, and it's likely that this respect for each other will only grow in the future. |
