Boxer Jake Paul has taken a swipe at rival Tommy Fury amid the latter’s breakup with fiancee Molly-Mae Hague.
The pair, who became parents and first connected on Love Island in 2019, recently called it quits after five years, as confirmed by Molly in August. Jake, 27, couldn’t resist throwing shade at Tommy following the split, despite initially seeming reluctant to delve into personal matters.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: “I don’t want to dive into someone’s personal life like that but I hope they’re figuring it out and they figure it out with the kids and everything but I’m still going to beat his a– as a single father.” The boxer also criticized Tommy for his career choices and recent personal issues.

He remarked: “He definitely continues to devalue himself over time, saying no to the Netflix opportunity was probably the dumbest thing a boxer in history has done.” Jake didn’t hold back, adding: “Like you literally turned down the biggest platform and now he’s got caught cheating and got divorced and now he is a single father.”
Amid the high-profile split between Tommy and Molly, Jake couldn’t resist chiming in. He extended a business proposition to Molly through social media: “It’s not a bad idea, Molly-Mae we’re going to bring you in on W. I just hope they’re figuring it out and figuring it out with the kid and stuff like that. But, I’m still going to beat his a– as a single father.”
During the breakup, Molly released her own emotional statement online, expressing her heartache: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this. After five years of being together, I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way. I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.”
She continued by thanking everyone for their unwavering support and revealing her primary focus: “I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter. Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority. I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years.”
Concluding her heartfelt note, Molly added: “You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it’s right to share this with you all. Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time, I’ll be back when it feels right. Molly-Mae.”
Tommy Fury, overshadowed by his relation to boxing legend Tyson Fury, also confessed publicly that he was “heartbroken” after parting ways with Molly-Mae.
