Jake Paul had the media all to himself after Tommy Fury was a no show at the kick-off press conference for their February 26 PPV fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“I’m knocking him out four rounds or less,” promised Paul. “Bet the house on it. Put your mortgage on it.”
“I’m used to his behavior at this point. You know he’s unprofessional. He’s a flake. He’s not a serious businessman. He’s not a serious fighter and I’m gonna prove that.
“That’s why this fight’s called ‘The Truth’ because the truth’s gonna come out. I mean, he’s gonna 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 ‘a private matter?’
“Cool. Yeah. 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 he didn’t need to train for this fight. ‘Oh, I could fight Jake Paul and I don’t even have to train,’ but meanwhile his excuse first was that he had to train extra for this fight and now apparently it’s a private matter.
So it’s typical Fury stuff. I love Tyson but I’m saying the dad and Tommy – it’s typical from them.
“The kid’s never been tested. He’s never been in a hard fight. His combined record of opponents is 20 wins, 200 losses. He’s never been eight rounds. He’s never been in there with a dog and I have something to prove…he’s been spoon-fed his whole entire life. Piggybacked off of his brother…I’m gonna show him on February 26th that this is the hurt business. He’s not gonna like this sport after I’m done with him!”
Lmaooo he can sell a fight for real
Even if you are not at all into Jake Paul you have to admit that Tommy’s behavior and apathy/lack of professionalism, weak resume/performances, and cancellations end up making Jake the one you would “root for”.
How is Tommy going to win? Try to “tap in” Tyson like it’s wrestling? Win a few rounds on the card, head butt, then get a win on cards? He only has proven to be a basic rookie level fighter. No stamina, average power, and only the advantage of top level sparring (if he is doing that).
How about that, Jake Paul as the one to be taken seriously now?
So…the kids never been tested and you have?
This is insane just commenting on this circus but Jake Paul will knock him out. Tommy says he’s been fighting his whole life but I don’t think he had any amateur bouts. His opponents have losing records to say the least. Jake Paul takes the sport and training very seriously. Tommy appears to be nothing more than a poser.
12 amateur bouts and 8 pro bouts – yeah that is a life of boxing !
One thing is for sure. In my opinion, if Fury loses this fight, he will be made more of a spectacle in the media than Paul. Why? The Fury family of fighters are known for trash talking and feeding into hype leading up to fights. Tommy Fury is no exception. After all trash talk and antics, once the bell rings, it’s time to prove what one is made of. Let’s see if Tommy can back up what he says and win.
Jake is gonna pummel Tommy Fury if Tommy has the balls to get inside the ring this time.
youtuber vs love island reject, can’t wait. He knows how to sell a fight though, punching a guy and making him poop a little bit is box office gold. Move over Jackass
He criticized the records of Tommy’s foes, but his opponents almost all of them never even had a pro fight. Winning here will mean very little, even considering the dreadful opposition previous. I’m curious who will buy this trash
Jake’s following will. They also have the WWE fans as well. Even more following.
It’s a clown show why would he?
There you have it, Jake Paul even said it himself- Tommy Fury is a flake and not a serious fighter, which is precisely why he’s fighting him. I will be very surprised if this fight even takes place at all.
Exactly, because he’s only sabotaging HIMSELF out of any credit that’s out there
IF he should HAPPEN TO pull it off.
For what its worth I didn’t this Jake Paul would beat Anderson Silva. Age or not this is a guy who just out boxed Chavez Jr. Neither Paul or Fury are experienced boxers, but Fury has shown nothing to make me feel he can beat Paul. We all agree that neither fighter has really faced a “pro boxer”, but out of the two I think Paul clearly faced the better fighters and looked better doing so. Fury is no more a pro boxer that Paul is, but I think Paul is taking this a lot more seriously. I think Paul wins the fight easily and the day after people will start saying Fury wasn’t a real fighter. Unfortunately I think once Paul wins this fight he is going to face off against KSI and thats a huge step backwards if he wants to be taken seriously as a boxer.
YES, this Fury is Far Worse than Unprofessional and Much Worse than Unreliable…How could anyone do business with this guy?
surprising, but Not a surprise
Hopefully Fury shows up for the fight.
I like how directly under Paul’s quote, “Bet the house on it. Put your mortgage on it,” Fightnews inserts a real estate ad. That’s called creative advertising.
I still don’t care about this exhibition bout but Paul is right as rain. Fury does look like a little pansy snowflake. I was picking Fury before but now I’m leaning towards a Jake Paul W. He wants it more.
I’ve been saying it from day one. Paul will unfortunately most likely win this fight. All his casual femboy fans will praise him because he beat a “Fury”. They’ll say “Paul hasn’t even been boxing that long and he beat one of the best boxers in the world”. Yes, his fans are THAT stupid. If it actually happens, you can expect to see some sort of circus BS go down in the ring. Fury will most likely hit the canvas at some point then start to get frustrated and end up turning it into a bigger circus act than it already is. Maybe his dad even hops in the ring. I HOPE IM WRONG and Fury comes out and obliterates or at the very least outboxes Paul and wins. Time will tell. If the fight doesn’t go down it’s absolutely Fury’s fault and he should never step foot in a ring again. Not even to spar. Someone like him who “has been boxing his entire life” should have absolutely no problem boxing circles around Paul all night. However, Fury simply isn’t that great and doesn’t even have that great of power.
