Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are finally going to fight against one another. The fight is officially set to go down on Sunday, February 26th in Saudi Arabia. Overall, this is going to be Paul's toughest fight yet. He has yet to fight a real boxer, and now, he is going to do just that. Fury is 8-0 in his professional career, while Jake Paul is a respectable 6-0. This is a make-or-break match for Paul, who will need to win if he actually wants his boxing career to be taken seriously, moving forward.
Today is a huge media day for Paul and Fury as the press conference for the fight was today. Although Fury has largely ducked his commitments, he has finally decided to tag along for the ride. Unfortunately, he was unable to tap into First Take today, where Paul got to speak with Stephen A. Smith. It was here that Paul predicted he would win his fight. However, Paul isn't just going to settle for a decision. In fact, he believes he can knock out Tommy in four rounds.
Jake Paul Talks The Talk
Just yesterday, Paul was espousing the same kinds of rhetoric in relation to the upcoming fight. For instance, Jake Paul said that Fury was going to be decapitated in this match. He also warned that the Fury family will disown him after this. “Tommy, I hope you’ve enjoyed these last few moments of your career,” Jake said. “This is it, you’re going to be retired from boxing after this. You’re going to be disowned by your family. You’re going to go back to your mother’s maiden name. There’s nothing else that can save you. It’s just me and you — mano a mano.”
Overall, this is going to be a truly riveting match. Even if you hate Paul and everything he stands for, you can't help but want to watch. He is a compelling figure, and consequently, this has led to a ton of Pay-Per-View sales. Let us know if you think he can win, in the comments below.
