At long last, Tommy Fury and Jake Paul are set to get it on this Sunday in Saudi Arabia, and finally put an end to this long-running beef that has seen two scheduled fights between them cancelled already.
Big John Fury has been working overtime to ensure his son doesn’t suffer a humiliating loss on Sunday, and according to what he’s told MailOnline, Tommy is more than ready for the fight:
“We’ve had good class kids in the gym. We’ve had heavyweights in, cruiserweights in, light heavyweights in, we’ve had them all.
They’ve all been good, class, young, hungry men. But, bring it. He’s been handling them very well. There have been a few visits to the hospital for the sparring partners but that’s boxing. He’s been doing them some damage. We’ve had a hairline fracture in the jaw and we’ve had a few knockdowns. We’ve had a few cold knockouts from Tommy. He’s been destroying his sparring partners. You can ask them. He knows who they are. They know whether Tommy is the real deal or not.”
Well if that’s true it sounds like Jake Paul could be in trouble, but he’s obviously not worried enough to stop trolling his opponent. Here’s how Jake reacted to discovering Tommy had arrived in Saudi Arabia ahead of their fight:
Indeed, Tommy has made it to the location which means there’s very little chance he backs out again for whatever reason at the last minute. A lot of people have been shxtting on Tommy Fury’s boxing skills and claiming he’s only ever fought tomato cans, but we can’t forget that he’s actually a pro boxer who has been doing this a lot longer than Jake Paul has.
Incredibly, if Jake Paul beats Tommy Fury, he will officially become recognised as a pro himself:
So clearly there’s a lot at stake here, not least of all bragging rights given these two have been at each other’s necks for years now. They’re both undefeated, so there’s that too.
Tyson Fury has already commented that if Tommy doesn’t beat Jake, he’s leaving him behind in Saudi Arabia:

Whatever happens, hopefully it will be a good fight and we get a knockout either way, and then we’ll never have to discuss whether this fight is happening ever again. A lot of people will be watching purely in hopes that Jake Paul gets knocked out, so let’s see if Tommy can do the Fury name proud.
And avenge his wife, of course.
