Jake Paul has aired his frustration with Tommy Fury after the Brit failed to attend their scheduled press conference in Saudi Arabia for what is perceived to be a "private matter".

'TNT' has caused a lot of controversy over the past couple of years after being forced to pull out of two bouts against the YouTube sensation for a number of reasons. Many are expecting the matchup to come to fruition this time around, but the UK reality star continues to put doubt in fans' minds.

When asked if he was frustrated with Tommy Fury's no-show at the press conference, Jake Paul labeled his opponent "unprofessional" and insisted that he's "not a serious fighter" as the proposed boxing clash edges closer.

"I'm used to his behavior at this point. He's unprofessional, he's a flake, he's not a serious businessman, he's not a serious fighter... It's disrespectful. There's some of the biggest names in boxing, some of the biggest promoters in the world, some of the most influential people in the world, one of the greatest countries in the world, and he doesn't want to show up 'cause of a private matter. We all have private matters... It just shows me that he's scared."

Jake has been making waves in boxing since becoming dedicated to the sport but has often come under scrutiny as he is yet to face an actual professional boxer inside the squared circle.

While he intends to change that narrative, he is running into a seemingly endless number of problems as Tommy Fury arguably looks more and more likely to pull out of the fight for a third time.

What happens to Jake Paul if Tommy Fury pulls out again?

Jake Paul has built a card around his highly-anticipated clash against Tommy Fury, which involves a huge WBC World Cruiserweight title fight between Ilunga Makabu and Badou Jack.

The Disney star won't be scrambling to find a replacement and already has a plan in place should his undefeated opponent fail to make it to fight night on February 26.

Set to step in and meet Jake Paul at the center of the ring is former UFC welterweight competitor Mike Perry, who has built a career in MMA around his dangerous striking.
