Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague have laughed off Jake Paul's accusation that the social media influencer sent him a DM in 2018 - with Hague joking that 'times must be hard'.
The YouTube star posted a lengthy response to Tommy Fury's callout, where the 5-0 boxer enlisted the help of his world heavyweight champion brother Tyson and basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal.
And at the end of his reply Paul accused Fury's TV star girlfriend, who he met on the 2019 season of Love Island, of sending him a message looking to meet up in 2018.
She took to Twitter to let fans know that the DM was faked, saying: "Times must be hard when you’re having to fake a DM.... photoshop is scary."
Fury then replied, adding "Literally" and a couple of sleeping emojis.
Paul had said in a series of Instagram stories : "I don't know if you just saw that last video but the desperation is seeping through the paws of the Fury family.
"It is quite embarrassing, the heavyweight champion of the world ( Tyson Fury ) is on Instagram talking about Jake Paul begging me to fight his brother.
"Listen Tommy, focus on your fight that is in a couple of weeks that no one even knows about by the way. This video will be the biggest promotion for your whole entire fight.
"Find an opponent. You're literally picking someone to fight you in three weeks who hasn't even been training.
"Fight someone real, do a real pay-per-view and then maybe we can talk. The last guy you fought was 0-9.
"The people you've fought in total have a combined record of 15 wins, 250 losses.
"You come looking for me in Miami to try and find me in a gym. You know damn well I'm not in Miami, I'm in Puerto Rico.
"If you want to pull up here I will gladly beat the f*** out of you.
"Tommy, you fight for $100,000. You have some ladders to climb before you get to my level unfortunately my friend.
"I'm not talking about this anymore, peace out, f*** you guys.
"One last thing Tommy, you should be more worried about your girl sliding into a bunch of dude's DMs."
Fury will return to the ring on June 5 on the undercard of Daniel Dubois' long-awaited ring return against Romaniam Bogdan Dinu in London.
Jake Paul has yet to announce a return date after his first round KO of Ben Askren last month, but has recently signed a multi-fight deal with Showtime Boxing in the US.
