Tommy Fury's father believes they're being underpaid by Jake Paul
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are set to enter the squared circle later this month on February 26 in Saudi Arabia. The two have had quite the rivalry over the years and were scheduled to fight on two different occasions.
Their first fight was booked for December 2021 and the next for August 2022. However, both times the fight ended up falling apart. But it looks like the two are keen to finally put their rivalry to bed as they have agreed to fight one more time.
There is a lot of buzz surrounding the fight and both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are expected to make a lot of money out of it. Moreover, 'TNT' has often suggested that this will be the biggest payday of his career so far.
However, Tommy Fury's father John Fury doesn't seem to be on the same wavelength and believes they are being rather underpaid. During a recent interview with All Out Fighting, Fury's father said:
"We've probably been well underpaid. You know but at the end of the day, you know, money is one thing but when Tommy knocks him spark out, the world's his oyster."
