"It was so disgusting that I turned it off" - Jake Paul's mother slams John Fury for 'vulgar' comments against her son at press conference
Jake Paul was scheduled to face legendary boxing trainer and former professional boxer John Fury’s son Tommy ‘TNT’ Fury on December 18th. However, the fight fell apart due to Tommy pulling out because of a rib injury and chest infection.
Prior to Tommy’s withdrawal, John Fury made a few rather unsavory remarks regarding Paul’s partner Julia Rose. John’s remarks came during a Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury press conference leading up to the fight.
In an interview with iFL TV, Jake Paul’s mother condemned John Fury. Expounding upon Tommy’s withdrawal from the fight and John’s comments, Pamela Ann Stepnick stated:
“Well, I was unhappy. I really wanted Jake to fight Tommy, just because of all the back and forth. But it wasn’t really a surprise, when you just got down to it, because he didn’t show up to the first press conference. And then the other press conference, it was just his dad, you know, just being really, totally disgusting. And Tommy wasn’t saying anything. So, he did seem overwhelmed and a little bit afraid. So, I don’t know. I mean, I’m glad he showed a scan. But, you know, for all I know, they’re fake scans. So, who knows?”
Paul's mother also pulled up John Fury for the comments he made regarding Julia Rose.
“It was so disgusting that I turned it off. I never miss something that Jake is doing, like ever, probably since he was, you know, five years old. But I just couldn’t take these disgusting, vulgar comments from him. And I don’t know why he was doing the talking; he’s not the fighter. You know, talking about Julia [Rose] that way; it just, it was needless and disgusting.”
