Tommy Fury prompts how Tyson Fury's iconic medicine ball training ended Jake Paul's fight

The prolonged hype and anticipation surrounding the Tommy Fury vs. Jake Paul fight can be attributed to none other than 'The Gypsy King' himself. Finally, in February, the much-awaited showdown between the two social media stars took place in Saudi Arabia. On that fateful night, 'TNT' made excellent use of his jab and length to outbox the YouTube sensation. Although Paul managed to score a knockdown in the eighth round, it wasn't enough to secure a win, and Fury emerged as the victor by decision.

The aftermath of the fight was clouded by rumors that Tyson Fury had caused his brother's injury by breaking his ribs. Prior to the canceled match, the two brothers had even released a video in which the heavyweight champion dropped a heavy medicine ball on Tommy. At the time, 'TNT' denied any link between the injury and the medicine ball.

However, with the weight of the world finally lifted off his shoulders, Tommy Fury has come clean and admitted that the medical ball was indeed the cause of his injury. In a recent candid conversation with Eddie Hall on YouTube, the cruiserweight fighter opened up about the incident and set the record straight:

"I moved on to the medicine ball, you've all seen the video. Yeah, bang, the whole left side of my body quivered after it went down. My dad, Tyson, everyone [used the] medicine ball on me... Bit too hardcore yeah. Pounding it on Tyson's stomach and going on to mine is a bit of a difference."
