Jake Paul responds to Tyson Fury's X-rated "p****" chant after fans slate YouTube star

Jake Paul has branded Tyson Fury's crude chant "Beethoven's tenth symphony".

Paul will meet heavyweight champion Fury's brother Tommy in a grudge match on August 6 after the pair finally signed on the dotted line. Fury recently claimed he would bet £100,000 on his brother beating the YouTube star, which saw Paul r espond and agree a fresh $1 million wager with the 'Gypsy King'.

In Fury's latest jibe at Paul, he led fans in a chant branding Paul a "p****" during the latest leg of his After Party tour in the UK. Paul has issued a comical response during a Twitter video, captioned: "Beethovens 10th symphony featuring Tyson Fury." Paul can be seen pretending to conduct an orchestra with two wooden spoons, while chanting along with the British crowd.

WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE:

It is not the first time Fury has led fans in a rudimentary chant having directed the exact same one at heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua late last year. Paul and Fury have been going back and forth on social media trading verbal barbs already since the fight has been confirmed.

The YouTube star has already feuded with both Tommy and Tyson in addition to their father John during the build-up to their previous December date. Fury and Paul have both admitted respect for each other unlike the others, with Paul clashing with Fury Sr during last year's press conference.

However Paul has been more respectful so far by comparing his rival's family to the Mayweather dynasty when previewing his upcoming test. " Tommy Fury comes from a legendary bloodline of fighters; the gypsies who have been mauling people since they were f***ing born," he said during a YouTube video. "For Christ's sake, his brother is the heavyweight champion of the world [ Tyson Fury ], his dad [John Fury] went to jail for ripping someone's eye out. Tommy Fury has been boxing since he was 12-years-old, gone through the amateurs.

"He just mauled a 10-1 boxer, knocked him to the ground and the Fury name is just as infamous as the Mayweathers, their whole entire family; all they know is box. I'm going into their territory, I'm going into their sport - like I said, Tommy's been boxing since he was like 12-years-old, this is part of his blood. This is what he does on a daily basis."

His long-term rival has been less vocal, despite previously claiming that Paul only signed the contract after threatening to pull the plug over a lack of drug testing. Fury will likely provide the toughest test of the YouTube star's five-fight career, being the first opponent with a natural boxing background.

However this could also present the sternest test of his credentials having only fought eight times as a professional himself. Fury is expected to go into the contest as the marginal favourite, but will travel without his heavyweight champion brother who is currently banned from the US.
