Tommy Fury has vowed to knock out Jake Paul in their fight next weekend. The Englishman oozes confidence before his big fight with ‘The Problem Child’ and says ‘Jake Paul really is screwed’. ‘TNT’ believes that there is nothing in Paul’s arsenal that can prevent him from knocking out the American.
Tommy Fury promises to knock out Jake Paul
Tommy Fury has warned the world that Jake Paul is in for a rude awakening when the pair of rivals finally do battle next Sunday night. Paul vs Fury takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia next Sunday in a highly anticipated cruiserweight showdown.
Jake Paul is the betting favorite with the best overseas betting sites pre-fight, with Tommy Fury a bit of an underdog with the US sportsbooks. However, the Englishman admits he has been unimpressed with nothing Jake Paul has done during his six-fight professional boxing career.
The half-brother of WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury believes his American counterpart is in for a rude awakening when they finally meet in the center of the ring on February 26 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fury will be the first real professional boxer the man from Ohio will face. Since the launch of Paul’s professional career in January 2020, he has only fought celebrities and four former UFC fighters. Tommy Fury is a completely different test.
In a recent interview with BoxingScene.com, the 23-year-old said that Paul is in for a rude awakening and the shock of his boxing life come fight night:
“He’s beaten a failed MMA fighter, a 140-pound Tyron Woodley or whatever at welterweight. He beat an NBA star [Nate Robinson]a fighter [Ben Askren] and another youtuber I think it’s all six. So at the end of the day, I don’t think there’s anything on it at all. I think it will be light work.
“I have trained for Jake Paul as if he was fighting Artur Beterbiev for all the glory. So, he really is screwed. He doesn’t have anything in his arsenal that he can keep me, you know, away from knocking him out.”
Fury not concerned with Paul’s mind games
This is the third time that Paul and Fury have signed to fight, and Tommy Fury had to pull out of the previous two scheduled bouts. The former Love Island star has to withdraw from the first fight with a serious rib injury, before he is not granted VISA access to the US for a second time, hence the cancellation again.
Due to his two retirements, Jake Paul has, of course, seen them as opportunities to taunt Fury, insisting that the 8-0 Englishman really doesn’t want to fight him. However, Fury laughed off the comments and hasn’t taken any of Paul’s insults personally:
“I don’t really read anything,” Fury told BoxingScene.com.
“It’s just a business to me. Jake is just another man in the opposite corner. And he’s going to get knocked out. He is just another opponent on my way to a world title.”
The highly anticipated fight between Fury and Paul, which will be contested at a catch weight of 185lbs, will headline pay-per-view shows in both the US and the UK. ESPN+ PPV will air the fight in the US ($49.99), with BT Sport Box Office airing the fight in the UK (£19.95).
All the trash talk and mind games are almost over. This fight is truly compelling and is now just over a week away. Be sure to back Jake Paul or Tommy Fury with the best US sports betting apps before their fight next weekend!
