Jake Paul refuses to apologise for leaking birth of Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae’s baby and says they should PAY him
JAKE PAUL refused to say sorry for breaking the news about Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae’s baby – and said they should instead PAY him.
The celebrity boxing pair are finally set to fight, on February 26 in Saudi Arabia at the third time of asking.
Fury, 23, was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then last August amid US visa issues.
So after agreeing to reschedule on neutral ground, Paul, 26, claimed rival was left with “no excuses”.
But he also used the social media dig to bring up the birth of Fury and Molle-Mae’s baby daughter, which at the time had not been announced.
Paul posted: “After multiple failed attempts to get Tommy Fury in the ring, the moment of truth has finally arrived.
“Fumbles has no excuses now. Baby is born. Money is massive. Immigration is not an issue.”
Paul made the claim on January 27, and Molly-Mae later revealed baby Bambi was born four days prior to that.
The YouTuber-turned prizefighter hosted a Q&A on Instagram and was asked if he should apologise for leaking the birth.
Paul responded: “No she should pay me for giving that baby more clout.”

In an interview with TalkTV’s Piers Morgan, Fury was probed on the American’s move to announce his child’s birth.
And he said: “At the end of the day, all Jake Paul can do from wherever he is in this world is speculate, and that’s all that was.
“Speculation, nothing is ever true unless you hear it from me and Molly. It’s part and parcel, it’s what we have to do.”
Fury admitted the mental and verbal warfare is part of the fight game – but warned Paul’s famous antics cannot save him in the ring.
He said: “It comes with the entertainment business, that’s what we’re in, and me and Jake Paul are great dance partners, and I’ve enjoyed the build up so far, it’s going to get a lot more heated, and I can’t wait.
“Social media can’t save Jake Paul, his mouth can’t save him, it comes down to fighting.”
