JAKE PAUL was forced to face off with a poster of Tommy Fury after being left on the lurch by his rival.
The pair were due to take part in a press conference in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday afternoon to promote their Diriyah dust-up at the end of the month.

YouTuber turned boxer Paul was present in the Kingdom but former Love Island star Tommy was nowhere to be seen – which prompted the former to improvise when it came to the planned face-off.
The Problem Child positioned himself next to a blown-up picture of Fury on their fight poster and looked menacingly up at the social media star before slapping his face.
Paul’s makeshift face-off with TNT came after he lambasted him for skipping the presser.
He said: “I’m used to his behaviour at this point, he’s unprofessional and he’s a flake.
“He’s not a serious businessman or a serious fighter and I’m going to prove that.
“It’s why this fight is called, ‘The Truth’ because the truth is going to come out.
“He’s going to have to pay for all of the times he’s pulled out.
“All the business people he screwed over, it’s disrespectful.

“There’s some of the biggest names in boxing, the biggest promoters and the most influential people in the world.
“One of the greatest countries in the world and he doesn’t want to show up because of a ‘private matter’.
“We all have private matters.
“When you sign up to do something, you make a commitment, that’s what it should be about.
“It just shows me he’s scared because he said he didn’t need to train for this fight.

“Meanwhile, his first excuse was that he needed to train extra, but now it’s a private matter.
“I love Tyson but it’s typical from the dad [John] and Tommy.”
Paul plans to make Fury pay for his no-show and inflict a career-devastating defeat in double quick time.
He said: “I’m knocking him out, 4 rounds or less – bet the house on it.
“Put your mortgage on it.”
