They came face to face for the first time at Wembley Arena as tempers flared and threatened to boil over.
And Paul has been left fuming after claiming Fury was “scared” to show up to their kick-off press conference in Riyadh.
The American made the short flight over to Saudi from Dubai – where he has been training – to promote the pay-per-view bout.
But with Fury a no-show to instead focus on training, Paul said: “My back just hurts so much from carrying the promotion.
“Where you at Tommy? We’re out here hustling, selling the fight you unprofessional swine.”
Fury was forced to pull out of the fight in the past due to a rib injury in December 2021 and amid US visa issues last August.
And Paul recently tweeted: “Tommy Fury is scared.
“Told my team he can’t make the kick-off press conference next week in Saudi Arabia because he needs more time to train.
“Thought you said you wouldn’t even have to train to fight me? You and your papa scared.”
Fury hit back: “The press conference can wait until I get to Saudi Arabia you fool.
“I’ll be there on the 16th. 3 weeks and it’s over you big stiff sweaty goth.”
Paul replied: “Show a little respect for our hosts you blighter. Saudi Arabia I will see you this coming week inshallah.”
