Jake Paul isn't prepared to wait much longer for Tommy Fury.

At issue are recent comments made by John Fury, father to Tommy and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who called Paul a "clown."
“People mentioning me saying there are negotiations in place for Tommy to fight this clown from overseas," John Fury said in an Instagram video posted Monday. "It’s not true. I’m having nothing to do with this at all. It’s a pile of s—.
“I don’t like anybody associated to those people over there. They’re nothing but a pack of tossers. YouTubers. And I’m not interested in it one bit, in any way, shape or form.”
