Jake Paul has a professional boxing record of 5-0-0. But how much of a ‘professional’ this record is? The YouTuber turned boxer has had five professional bouts until now, but none of them are against professional boxers. He received much criticism regarding this. However, now things are about to change. His next fight is set for this summer against the professional boxer Tommy Fury.
Initially, Jake Paul was supposed to fight on the 13th of August, as he revealed via Twitter. However, things have changed a bit and he will face Tommy on the 6th of August at the Madison Square Garden in New York. If the YouTuber wins now, he will record his first win against a true boxer.
I’m Gonna Shut You All The F**k Up, When I Knock Out Tommy Fury – Jake Paul Wants To Prove His Skills Badly
“I’m the people’s champ, I’m giving the people what they want. What they wanted was, ‘Fight a real boxer.’ That’s what they kept telling me. I fought a five-time UFC champion in my fourth fight, but ‘fight a real boxer.” – Paul says. “So here is a young kid, same age, same height, same reach, and with a better record than me. He’s been boxing his entire life, his brother is the heavyweight champion of the world. He has the name, he has the following. He has star power. It’s the perfect fight.”
“When I win by knockout over Tommy Fury, people will have nothing left to say. All the people, all the media who have doubted me and had things to say about me years ago, ‘Oh Jake Paul is bad for boxing,’ I’m going to shut you all the f**k up. You will put respect on my name. Did you want a real boxer? No f**king problem.” – he adds.
Tommy Fury is the half-brother of the heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. He has a professional record of 8-0-0 and four of these finishes are by a knockout.
Tommy Fury was about to fight Jake Paul once before. They were set to fight on December 18th last year. However, he withdrew from the fight at the last moment. The reason behind it is a broken rib and a bacterial infection that he had at the moment.
In the co-main event on the 6th of August, the audience will enjoy the Amanda Serrano vs Brenda Carabajal bout. Amanda will be defending her WBC, WBO, and IBO female featherweight titles.
Jake Paul is even the promotor standing behind Amanda Serrano, so this bout will be of great importance to him as well. He looks forward to rising in the promoting business and pushing his boxing promotion to the next level.
