Fury, 23, will look to settle his social media score with the Problem Child with a brutal knockout victory in the Diriyah dust-up.

And doing so will see him avoid embarrassing his boxing family - which has had a whopping NINE members take part in the Sweet Science.

The leader of the Fury tribe is the rough and ready John, the father of Tommy, recent debutant Roman and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson.

Cousins Hughie, Nathan Gorman, Horsea Burton and Andy Lee make up the rest of the professional fighters in the Fury family.

The boxing bug also bit Tommy's uncle Peter, who used to be the trainer of Tyson and currently coaches Hughie and former WBO middleweight champion Savannah Marshall.

Boxing is well and truly in the blood of Tommy and his entire family, a fact which has put a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders ahead of his with Paul.

Dad John and brother Tyson haven't helped matters by vowing to disown and retire Tommy if he loses to the social media sensation.

John recently told talkSPORT: "There is no more boxing for him if he loses.

“But, I am 100 per cent confident he will knock him out.

“It’s a big ask for Jake Paul, because Tommy is much better than what he’s faced before, so fair do’s to him.

“It’s a foregone conclusion that Tommy will win.

“We are not leaving a stone unturned and are training as if this were against a world-class fighter. He’s working really well.

“Tommy will be very famous on the 26th of February.”

Tyson said: "If he can't beat Jake Paul, I'll have to change his name.

The Fury family name is something Paul has repeatedly used in his pre-fight trash talk.

And he's stunningly claimed Tommy only adopted it to boost his profile before he went on Love Island.

He said: "His image is all based off of his family name.

"And the funny thing is - a little BS exclusive as I haven't talked about this before

"He actually, before the show Love Island, he had his mum's last name.

"Because he is the half brother to Tyson, they have a different mum, and Tommy was going by his mum's last name his whole entire life.

"And before he went on the show he asked Tyson and John to change his last name to Fury.

"And so he changed it before he went on the show.

"But the name is a lease, he is renting his name, he is not the actual Fury.

"He only did it for the clout.

"It is just a metaphor for exactly who he is.
