As the Jake Paul/Tommy Fury feud reaches Ross and Rachel levels of “will they or won’t they” speculation, the world heavyweight boxing champion’s younger brother has shared his thoughts on his potential next opponent.
Tommy Fury told The MMA Hour that he expects very little from Jake Paul, describing the YouTuber-turned-boxer as “tailor-made” for a heavy hitter like him.
Tommy Fury: “I’d let Jake Paul hit me for fun”
“He’s tailor-made for me. He doesn’t move his head. He’s useless anyway. I’d let Jake Paul hit me for fun. He’s no good. So I’m sick of people comparing the fight between me and him. There is no fight. I’ll go in there and it’s a surefire victory for me.”
Fury continued to criticise Paul’s choice of opponents as well as his lack of boxing ability. “I can’t even talk about that because it’s just that much silliness.
And the reason why everything’s bullsh*t is when he’s saying it because I’m not replaceable. And the fact that I’m not replaceable is that everyone’s sick of seeing him fight these same fighters, UFC this, UFC that, old record, old men.
There’s no one else out there with a brother like mine, the best fighter in the whole entire world — WBC lineal world heavyweight champion — and me below him in the same category as Jake Paul with clout I’ve got. Name me one other boxer who’s had seven professional and gotten the recognition that I have.
Fair point, it might be from another thing, but still the recognition is there. There’s nobody else, and that’s the reason why this fight is still getting talked about and negotiated, because he knows how big this fight is.
And if he went off and fought another UFC man, people would start losing interest, and he knows that. But all of what he’s saying there is stupid, it’s absolutely stupid.
I know it’s cliche for a boxer to say, but there will be no game plan for that fight. I’ll go straight over to him and I will annihilate Jake Paul.”
Annihilation or not, Jake Paul is currently undefeated in the boxing ring. His most recent fight, against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, ended in a decision victory for Paul after a largely lackluster performance from both fighters.
Should Tommy Fury face Jake Paul, it will mark the first time Paul has fought a boxer in the boxing ring. Do you agree with Tommy Fury? Will he destroy Jake Paul? Let us know in the comments.
