[Ruthless-RKO]

[peter barlow]

Dubois hopefully has good opponent Bryant ideal but talk quiet on it.

Wonder will Frank do a British leg.

[margaret thatcher]

what was tommy's am background? i think like 10 fights?


id guess another sawfty for dubs over there. hopefully better than total knockovers like cusmano though

[peter barlow]

Something like that but I believe he has had a bit more experience on the cobbles

[Frostieballs]

Crap fight.

We will all watch it.

[forcefraser]

Paul is making millions from these fights. Why would he stop that gravy train.

Fury will be paid off and Paul will win on points

Sometimes I hate boxing, how did we go from Hagler v Hearns to this pile of pish.

I blame one of two things, the mobile phone or George Groves

It's such a cliche now to mention 'the cobbles' if someone is identified from Gypsy/traveller background .. haven't we all swapped punches with someone outside of the roped ring?
People of Gypsy/traveller background probably do so as often as those not from that background.

Nothing suggests Tommy is any better/worse than Jake; similar fight experience as Campbell Hatton .. maybe even less actually, and we know how bad he is .. two young average novice celebrity boxers making millions.

Best of luck to both kids I say; a lot of the flack is jealousy that these kids have been marketed where they can earn millions for a bit of entertainment.

i suspect the reference to the 'cobbles' was as ironic as when we refer to Adam 'Left Hook' Smith's well-known ability on the hallowed cobbles (in a straight or dirty go ) and his renowned refusal to give best to any man born from his mother

at least, I hope it was

I'm surprised that true boxing fans are even paying attention to this fight. It's a farce. Nothing but circus entertainment. Personally, I think it demeans the sport.

Both Paul brothers are sphincters. Boxing fans should show respect for their sport by boycotting that pair of idiots. It would better if they staged their antics in MMA, pro-wrestling, or UFC. Anything except boxing.

Terrific post. Absolutely spot on.

That's how I feel about women's boxing. How's it any worse than the shit women's fights Hearn and Sky are serving up every week?

A bunch of novices and 37 year dinner ladies and we're supposed to bow down in awe at their totally inflated abilities. Talk of world titles that are as meaningful as an IBO intercontinental trinket in fact much less. Most fights going off at 1/25 to 1/100.

At least this is 2 evenly matched men going at it.

I hope you're not talking about the Pat Butcher faced assassin here?

[Muttley]

If this fight happens and If Jake Paul wins i wanna see him Calling out Tyson Fury for the WBC heavyweight championship... Just for the comedy.

I'd expect to see David Haye jump on that bandwagon and call out Jake Paul

Press Release

International superstar Jake “The Problem Child” Paul will face undefeated professional boxer and U.K. reality TV star Tommy “TNT” Fury in a sanctioned eight-round cruiserweight bout after months of heated back-and-forth between the two men. Paul and Fury will headline a SHOWTIME PPV event on Saturday, December 18 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. The main event bout will be contested at a 192-pound catchweight, as Paul continues to challenge himself and deliver on his promise to disrupt the combat sports industry.

On the heels of an impressive performance against former mixed martial arts world champion Tyron Woodley in August, Paul looks forward to his fifth professional boxing match as he takes a sizable step up in competition and puts his undefeated record on the line. Paul, the social media sensation, has garnered unprecedented attention for a young boxer since he entered the ring against NBA star Nate Robinson and defeated him with a show-stopping knockout that made headlines around the world. Paul is now taking the next step in his young career as he goes after Love Island reality TV star Fury, the younger brother of WBC Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury.

Paul and Fury will meet for the first time since their fight was announced on Saturday, November 6 in Las Vegas and will make an additional appearance in Tampa on Monday, November 8. More details on both events to follow.

Titled #PaulFury: One Will Fall, the event is produced and presented by Most Valuable Promotions and SHOWTIME PPV and promoted in association with Tony Holden Productions. The pay-per-view telecast begins live at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and is produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV and it will feature other exciting high-stakes, professional boxing matches which will be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets for the live event will be available for purchase on Wednesday, November 10, at www.amaliearena.com.

The 24-year-old Paul (4-0, 3 KOs) is a world-renowned content creator. He began his professional boxing journey in January 2020 and has proven to be an influential participant in the sport’s landscape with his outsized personality and quickly developing skill set. The Cleveland-native is fighting out of Puerto Rico under the eye of former boxing cruiserweight contender and world title challenger B.J. Flores, who has been training Paul from his first professional fight. After knocking out British YouTube star AnEsonGib in his debut and defeating Robinson with a knockout heard around the world, Paul made quick work of former MMA champion Ben Askren in April with a first-round knockout. The win over Askren was Paul’s first victory over a seasoned professional fighter and he followed it up with an impressive performance against Woodley, arguably his most dangerous opponent to date.

Fighting out of Manchester, England, Fury started boxing at 12 years old. With 12 amateur bouts, he won two regional titles and reached the U.K. national final in 2016. Fury’s first professional fight came in 2018, a win by decision. From there he proceeded to knockout or TKO his next four opponents and put the boxing world on notice. He has fought three times in 2021, including his U.S. debut on Paul’s undercard in August, where the 22-year-old earned his seventh victory against Anthony Taylor. Paul is clearly facing his biggest challenge to date in the undefeated Fury (7-0, 4 KOs), who comes from a renowned family of boxers and has been trained by British star Ricky Hatton.

#PaulFury: One Will Fall is the second live sporting event co-produced by Most Valuable Promotions, a company founded by Paul and Nakisa Bidarian on the premise that content is king, and fighters are the content creators in combat sports. Paul and Bidarian serve as Executive Producers of the #PaulFury event.

Do you, too, refuse to give best to any man born of his mother, Peter Barlow?

It was Tommy himself that has stated so in interview I believe.

Don't agree at all, travellers engage in organised bare knuckle. On top of many pub and street fights. That's before any boxing training of which they are highly represented in. The average settled man does nothing close to that.

Yeah most of us boxing forum posters likely have had it out on the cobbles more than most. But we are hardly representative of the average man on the street...

[mickey1975]

Tommy and his mrs have done a brilliant job on the public. He's getting more than virtually every world champion for a four round level fight.
As for Tommy on the cobbles.... I doubt that. I don't even think he was raised the traveller way.
He was born from a different mother's cxnt to Tyson, Big Shane, Hughie and Little John.

[Counter-puncher]

No boxrec poster would ever give best

The difference for me is that this low level fight will be PpV in the US/U.K. at something like $50/£20. It’s insulting to boxing fans.

Showtime have 3 PPVs across 7 weeks. BT will have 3 PPVs across 10 weeks. It’s all simply greed. How can a BT customer be happy with the boxing they’ve had this year when seemingly their focus is simply on PPV?

I don’t love women’s boxing but I’m absolutely fine with an evenly matched women’s fight.

[mickey1975]

Why are all Male Journeymen known as cab drivers and now we have dinner ladies? What have these professions done to earn the nickname?

I agree it's poor what BT are at with all these PPVs, to me it looks like an exit strategy before they sell up BT Sport, probably to DAZN if it's still happening.

Barring Fury Wilder the number of buys for the other PPVs is likely very small. PPV at 5am does not work in UK. Unless it's a massive name like Fury, Joshua. Ricky Hatton years ago etc

If they want to extort fans with PPV give us the dignity of putting it on at a reasonable hour!
