Fury will be paid more than a lot of world champs to fight against a limited novice.

I appreciate Fury is no world beater but you have to question his stones here.

Fury is shit. He is going to lose his 0 at some point. Might as well be while lose it while making a million against a YouTuber than lose it while making a few grand against Kash Ali.

100%

He ain’t gonna be a world champion.

Don’t even think he’ll have a long career.

Hard to believe the Fury's and their setup doesn't include a decent lawyer.

Agreed. Just tired of this nonsense now

Wasn’t he set to make a couple of a million from this charade? What ego could he possibly have that would render his unbeaten record more important than that? Who cares if he loses to a YouTuber? Jake Paul is obviously not the second coming of Ali but he has applied himself to boxing and tried to develop some skills…

I reckon his dad would legit disown him if he lost to Paul, he's convinced because Tommy's a Fury that there's zero chance he could possibly lose to a YouTuber, there's no doubt Tyson idolises his dad but I've heard stories from him and Big John himself that he's fell out with Tyson and refused to speak to him because of disagreements in camp, during build ups to big fights as well, pretty sure it was the first Wilder fight, hardly ideal parenting taking the huff with your son when he's got a big fight coming up just because you disagree with his preparations, he's an egomaniac big John and will see a Jake Paul win as a major slight on the family name and I'm all for seeing the meltdown up close when it happens, c'mon Tommy get your effing visa sorted

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Listening to Fwank on some of the recent IFLTV interviews, he doesn't seem that bothered that Tommy can't get a visa. All quite bizarre if you ask me.

To be fair, if there were YouTuber's in John Fury's fighting days he would probably lose to them...

Exactly

Reports suggest Hasim Rahman jr is stepping in now

It’s on the BoxRec schedule.

Didn’t they used to spar together?

A decent lawyer alone isn't getting you removed from a no fly list otherwise Fwank and Tyson would be allowed into the US. They aren't.

[gregregegg]

If its real and not a fix thats a solid step up... Heavyweight, 12-1 (only one he lost he was beating 4-0 untill the stoppage), been boxing forever, 31 years old so dead prime age. He isnt good, but geeze its a big step up.

[KiwiRider]

It will be interesting how they sell it given the lesser recognisable name.
Or do they just expect Paul's name will do the job.
It is ppv after all.

[Dioufy]

Rahman jr is like 15kg heavier. I can’t help but feel how much Paul will add onto his purse for a v below performance.

Weren’t these former sparring pals?

I meant from the perspective of telling Tommy there was no chance he was getting into the UK.

Paul is getting creamed if this is real.

He may not be great for a professional fighter, but he will smash Paul back to Youtube.

[margaret thatcher]

hard to believe the fight will be honestly contested if rahman is the opponent. he's no great shakes....but ive seen plenty of him and he's way bigger, a former national top 5 amateur, and easily good enough to smoke jp in an honest fight

rahman's had legal troubles and his career stalled badly. them knowing each other and jp offering his buddy some nice cash for him to roll over makes sense......this fight being legit doesnt

On learning Fury and Molly were expecting..

Tommy said a week or so ago that he was finished talking about Jake Paul. He’s coming across really desperate - I get it’s a big money fight but he pulled out of the fight late notice first time and couldn’t get in the US the second time. The biggest revenue driver is US PPV - that won’t be replicated if they fight in the U.K. so I can’t see the fight happening.

Ha talking about KSI too.. how he’s a phony and that his mum would KO him too.

Tommy is the only member of the family who's physique doesn't look like the pilsbury dough man
