ANTHONY YARDE beat Jake Paul to BEAT Tommy Fury... and he doesn't fear the wrath from big John for saying it.
Celebrity boxing rivals signed up for a grudge match in December, but Fury pulled out after breaking her rib.

Rumours of the pair returning to each other surfaced after Paul announced his sixth professional fight for August 13.
Queensberry questioned Yarde about his choice for the light-heavyweight title fight.
After initially being reluctant to answer, the Londoner was finally asked if he was afraid of John Fury.
Yarde, 30 years old, replied, "No, I don’t think I’m afraid of anyone."

John fought back against Carl Frampton (35-year-old former champion in two-division), who chose Paul to defeat his son.
Yarde made a prediction that the ex-bareknuckle fighter might have another enemy.
He said, "You know what's hilarious? This sounds like a joke. I think Jake Paul would be my choice.
"Again, Tommy Fury is not my boy. I hope he does well boxing.

"But someone like Jake Paul I feel like him getting better - Tommy Fury is getting better too but I can see something about Jake Paul that he's improving at a good, fast rate.
"I'm referring to performances. I was able to see a little of Tommy Fury's last performance. He dropped the guy, but I don't know if he feels like he's under a lot of pressure.
He still looks very tense. He's large for his weight, but I think Jake Paul looks cleaner in terms of skills.
Paul, 25, has had four knockouts in five fights, but is yet face to face a recognized boxer since Fury, 23 was injured.
Those KOs were against "AnEsonGib", an online rival to the NBA star Nate Robinson (37), and Ben Askren (37), who is a retired UFC welterweight.
Woodley, 40, was first beaten in August on points, but Fury was replaced on late notice and was brutally knocked off the field.
Yarde, a KO artist himself, blasted the baseless claims that Paul fixed it.

He stated that Tyron Woodley was knocked out by him. That isn't a joke.
"And people were actually telling me, That was fixed.' I was like 'Yeah! What do you think? Mans gets punched in the face and it's fixed.
"He's improved and has impressed me."
