Love Island star Tommy Fury called Drake a “silly fella” after it was revealed the rapper lost almost half a million dollars while betting on Jake Paul.
Tommy went up against Jake in a boxing match last month after the fight had been pushed back three times.
When asked by IFTV how he felt about costing the rapper a huge amount of money, Tommy had a simple response.

“He’s lost a lot of money the silly fella!” he cheekily said before adding: “Well, he’s not a silly fella obviously 400 grand to him is about four pounds to us.”
“I don’t know, it is what it is but Drake, he won’t be doing that again will he?” Tommy continued.

Following his defeat, Jake Paul reportedly claimed he’d been ill while training for the fight, an excuse which Tommy quickly brushed off.
“It is what it is,” he said. “It wouldn’t be my approach if I lost the fight you know I’d say fair and square, the better man won even if I had been ill.”

Tommy continued: “I don’t believe that he was ill. He wasn’t ill when he was posting all the way through social media about how great his camp has been, I wouldn’t buy into that.”
“He got beat fair and square last night, if he wants to make excuses he can do, but it is what it is, he got beat,” Tommy stated.
YouTuber and fellow boxer, KSI, recently told the press that he couldn’t have easily “knocked out” both competitors, but Tommy slammed the claim as “YouTube talk.”

“It’s just more YouTube talk isn’t it,” he said. “What do you expect out of these YouTubers? It’s all he can say when he’s sat there at his house in London watching, it’s a lot easier looking at it and commenting.”
“Try getting into the ring and doing it,” Tommy said before branding KSI as “awful.”
“KSI, he’s not even in my thoughts because he really is awful,” he said. “I put Jake Paul above KSI, he’s not even in my thought process at the minute.”
