‘Grab him by the blonde hair and nut him’ – Tyson Fury tells Tommy Fury he needs to ‘spice up’ the build-up to his fight with Jake Paul
Tyson Fury has suggested some rather unorthodox tactics for how Tommy Fury can 'spice up' the build-up to his fight with Jake Paul.
The pair are set to clash in Saudi Arabia on February 26 and the build-up has already been fiery.

This fight has been scheduled three times now and so it is clear both men can't wait to get in the ring.
When they came face to face ahead of the recent thrilling world title clash between Artur Beterbiev and Anthony Yarde, Paul and Fury had to be separated by security.
During their exchange, Fury said: “Come 26th of February, this s***’s been going on too long, he’ll never box again.
“I’m not 50, I ain’t 40, I ain’t an MMA guy, I’ve been doing this my whole life and I swear to God you’re finished come 26th of February.”
Paul responded: “He’s fought taxi drivers, he’s got no chin, it’s all a joke. I’m ending you February 26th and you already know it.
“You’re going to crack under pressure, you’re not built for this moment. You’re an impostor, it’s all a bravado, it’s all fake confidence.”

"Who do you think's got more needle, Tommy with him or the other way?" Tyson questioned in an .
"I don't know, it's a good fight and they're good dance partners.
"I think Tommy needs to do a bit more talking, actually. Spice it up a little bit, get in his face a bit more and ruffle his feathers.
"Grab him by the blonde hair and nut him, maybe. I don't know."
