Tyson and John Fury plan devastating consequences if Tommy loses to Jake Paul
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally look set to meet in the ring after canceled fights and hostile negotiations.
The bout could be seen as the perfect match for both fighters, with Paul wanting to quell doubts by facing a ‘real fighter’ and Fury currently floundering in the midst of a ‘fight’ scene. and the more traditional route of underdog matches and domestic titles.
Combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani first reported that they were combat-ready on February 25 in Saudi Arabia and, although there is no official announcement, all the news is positive.
Tommy will represent them, and he’s under a bit of pressure. Tyson ‘King of Gypsy’ Fury told TalkSPORT that his half-brother could cancel his flight back to England if he lost.
“I don’t think it’s been officially announced, but I’ve heard an announcement is coming. So they finally got it on. They will throw down and the two YouTubers will fight for the position of king of YouTubers.
“Listen, it’s going to be fun and I hope Tommy teases him – and if he doesn’t, he can stay in Saudi Arabia.”
While it could be seen as a joke, the heavyweight champion brought it to a standstill, and was followed by comments from their father and Tommy’s coach, John Fury, about the aftermath. of a defeat.
In a seperate TalkSPORT In an interview, eldest brother Fury said he would retire his son if Jake Paul beat him – though went on to say that he believes it won’t happen.
“Certainly, there is no doubt. No more boxing for him if he loses. But, I am 100% confident that he will take him down.
That’s a big ask for Jake Paul, because Tommy is much better than he’s faced before, so it’s fair to him. It was a foregone conclusion that Tommy would win.
We haven’t missed a single stone and are practicing as if this is going against a world class fighter. He is working very well. Tommy will be very popular on February 26th.”
What the statements provide – aside from the weight of family pressure on Tommy’s shoulders – is that the fight will take place on February 25 if nothing unexpected happens.
On the previous two occasions that Paul and Fury signed to compete, the England star was forced to withdraw once due to illness, and then a travel ban on the second.
If the date and location are correct, an official announcement will be made soon.
