Carl Frampton weighed in with his prediction of a potential clash between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul – and Frampton is backing the American tennis player to the top should the fight go ahead.
above BT Sport chat boxFrampton revealed that he feels Paul’s work ethic could prove pivotal against Fury, who ‘Jackal’ says has shown signs of fitness problems in recent bouts .
“I keep getting in trouble talking about Tommy Fury and Jake Paul. It was a war that when it was first talked about, I didn’t really care about it. But now that we’ve talked about it for so long, I really want to see what the results are.”
“I think Jake Paul won the war. I’m not trying to make Tommy Fury a dissident or kid digger, but he’s on the same level as Jake Paul.”
“What I like about Jake Paul is that he seems to work hard, he seems to have his time and he lives it to the fullest.”
“I think the problem for Tommy is that he seems to be out of breath after four rounds, and that could be the deciding issue in the fight.”
Two-weight world champion Frampton angered Fury’s family with his comments about Tommy, so this recent prediction is unlikely to earn him a spot on our Christmas card list. surname.
Paul and Fury agreed to terms to fight twice, however on both occasions ‘TNT’ withdrew, once due to injury and then after being denied entry to the US.
‘Problem Kid’ won 6-0 earlier this fall with a point win over UFC legend Anderson Silva, while Fury was last seen in an exhibition competition with Rolly Lambert in Dubai on Floyd Mayweather vs Deji’s bottom card.
