YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, as usual, is not short on confidence heading into his next fight. Paul will finally face Tommy Fury, younger brother to lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, on February 26. Paul, who is undefeated as a pro boxer, believes Fury is “scared’ of him, which is why he expects to knock the “unprofessional” fighter out early in the bout.
Paul used Fury’s notable absence from their pre-fight press conference as ammunition. “I’m used to his behavior at this point.
Paul Predicts Early KO Win Over “Scared” Fury
He’s unprofessional, he’s a flake, he’s not a serious businessman, he’s not a serious fighter and I’m going to prove that. That’s why this fight is called ‘The Truth’ because the truth’s going to come out.
He’s going to have to pay for all the times he pulled out, all the business people he screwed over, it’s disrespectful. They’re some of the biggest names in boxing, some of the biggest promoters in the world, some of the most influential people in the world, one of the greatest countries in the world, and he doesn’t want to show up because of a ‘private matter.’ Cool. We all have private matters.
When you sign up to do something and you make a commitment, that’s what it should be about and it just shows me that he’s scared because he said that he didn’t need to train for this fight. ‘Oh, I can fight Jake Paul and I don’t even have to train.’ Meanwhile, his excuse first was that he had to train extra for this fight and now apparently it’s a private matter. It’s typical Fury stuff-I love Tyson, but I’m saying the dad and Tommy, it’s typical for them.”
Paul believes that he’ll present the hardest test for Fury. “Three to four rounds. The kid’s never been tested. He’s never been in a hard fight. His combined record of opponents is 20 wins, 200 hundred losses. He’s never been eight rounds, he’s never been in there with a dog, and I have something to prove. I’ve got two chips on my shoulder. People say I’ve got a chip on my shoulder, I’ve got two of them.
He’s been spoon-fed his whole entire life. Piggybacked off of his brother. Got into the business because that’s what he was supposed to do. Got famous off of some reality show and now he’s just riding the wave, trying to get a paycheck so that [Fury’s wife, influencer Molly-Mae Hague] isn’t the one making all the money in the relationship. But I’m going to show him on February 26 that this is the hurt business. He’s not going to like this sport after I’m done with him.”
