Watch: Tommy Fury shares what he thinks of a possible fight with Jake Paul
For the uninitiated, Tommy Fury is the lesser-known younger brother of two-time world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury. The heavyweight champ put on a show when he beat Deontay Wilder in 2020 and is set to face Anthony Joshua to unify the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO heavyweight world titles. 'The Gypsy King' will be putting his undefeated 30-0 record on the line.
Tommy Fury is the half-brother of Tyson Fury and, like his brother, seems to have boxing in his blood. 21-year-old Tommy Fury has had a short but promising career, with a 5-0 record so far. Four of his five wins have come via knockout.
Not unlike the rest of the combat sports world, Jake Paul has gotten Tommy Fury's attention. The American YouTuber, who claims to be a boxer without fighting any legitimate boxers, is slowly disrupting the world of boxing and combat sports with Triller Fight Club. Some would argue Paul and the Triller platform are undermining the sport of professional boxing.
However, they seem to be getting exactly what they want as they're suddenly on everyone's radar, with multiple boxers and professional fighters calling Jake Paul out. Fans have been adding to the chants, asking professional boxers to silence Jake Paul once and for all. Paul, for his part, has continued his pattern of calling out MMA fighters and non-boxers for boxing bouts.
