Jake Paul thinks Molly-Mae Hague should "pay him" for giving her and Tommy Fury's newborn baby daughter "more clout"..
Whilst confirming his fight with bitter rival Tommy Fury for February 26th in Saudi Arabia, Paul leaked the news that Hague's baby had been born before the couple was able to make the announcement themselves. Whilst hosting a fan Q&A on Instagram, one user asked Paul: "Do you think you should apologise for mentioning Molly Mae's birth announcement" to which he replied: "No she should pay me for giving that baby more clout."
Paul also gave a sarcastic response when speaking with the press in London just days after leaking the news, as he jokingly responded to a question about the baby from a reporter: "Did I do that? I leaked it? Oh s***. My bad. I’m sorry Tommy, but don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone the gender or anything like that." It's since been announced by Hague that she gave birth to a girl, who her and Fury have named Bambi.
Fury and Hague met four years ago on the reality TV series Love Island and have been together ever since. Hague admitted that Fury's boxing career has disrupted their time together during her pregnancy, telling iFL TV : "Me and Tommy communicate through FaceTime at this point. I think because he's been away so much he sometimes forget, he has to be reminded a bit because he's just away in camp land."
There is a lot of pressure on Fury's shoulders heading into his grudge fight against Paul as his brother, heavyweight champion Tyson, has vowed to leave him Saudi Arabia if he loses. Fury will be the first 'actual boxer' Paul has fought during his professional career having previously faced MMA fighters, content creators and athletes from other sports up until now.

The 23-year-old's last professional win came on the undercard of Tyson's knockout win against Dillian Whyte last April.
The Brit has promised to hand Paul his first defeat in the ring and end his boxing career for good when they finally meet after two previous cancellations, telling his rival: "I was beating better people than you when I was 14 in the amateurs, whilst you were messing around on Disney channel so don't come here pretending you're about it when you're not. I am not an MMA fighter, I will school you."
