Ex-Disney star Paul came face-to-face with his rival on Saturday at the Wembley Arena ahead of Anthony Yarde’s thrilling clash with Arthur Beterbiev.
Things got heated and the pair had to be pulled apart after a tense in-ring stand-off.
But on Friday, Paul got personal when he claimed Fury’s partner Molly had given birth.
Paul tweeted: “Tommy has no excuses now – Baby’s born.
“Money’s massive. Immigration no issue.”
The couple appeared to want to wait until after the fight to announce anything and Paul has since apologised for breaking the news.
He has, however, hinted that he knows the baby’s gender.
Paul told Sport Bible: “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.”
Despite apologising, it didn’t stop Paul from again repeating claims Molly-Mae had given birth.
He said: “Yeah. It’s a bit bizarre. Two of his biggest life moments in a very short time period here.
“I was telling my friends: I don’t know how he’s mentally going to be able to deal with that.
“If I had a kid, I wouldn’t want to be showing up at the gym, so I think it’s going to be a distraction for him.”
