Jake Paul claims seeing Tommy Fury "shaking" on stage, says "you can see his nerves running through his system"
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul will face off against Tyson Fury's brother Tommy Fury on February 26 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. The long-awaited boxing matchup will finally pit the two fierce rivals against each other after multiple attempts at booking a fight.
Both fighters are unbeaten and have enjoyed strong starts to their professional boxing careers.
Paul spoke at a promotional event on the eve of the fight and mentioned Fury's nervousness as palpable. 'The Problem Child' believes that he is better equipped for the big moments and is the more collected fighter of the two:
“That man’s capping. He’s acting on stage. Getting all hyped up, trying to act like his brother. And all you people booing, y’all dumb as f**k too. This professional boxer is going down, man. It’s easy, it’s simple. I’m ready, calm, cool, collected. And this is what I do. He’s never been in a moment like that. He’s shaking. He’s up on the stage doing the interview... you can see his nerves running through his system. He can’t stop moving. I’m chill. I’m a real killer. I don’t gotta do all that acting s**t. I’m a real f*****g dog. This is how I do it. Real dog. None of that fake s**t."

Mike Tyson picks Jake Paul to win against Tommy Fury
Former heavyweight champion and boxing legend Mike Tyson will be in attendance in Saudi Arabia for the Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury fight.
Tyson was asked about his prediction for the bout in an interview with Boxing Social. 'Iron Mike' picked Paul's constantly evolving skill set to trump Fury's boxing ability, while also predicting a knockout finish:
“I’ve never seen [Tommy] Fury fight, I don’t think he’ll be able to beat Jake Paul. Jake Paul is getting better and better as he fights, and I don’t know if they brought him over here to lose – we’re going to find out. Somebody is getting knocked out, somebody is going down. Someone’s zero has got to go.”
