Jake Paul will be disappointed if he doesn't knock out Tommy Fury
'The Problem Child' has quickly gone on to become one of the most talked about fighters in the world of boxing ever since his first pro-fight back in 2020. While the majority of it is because he drew his massive fan following from social media into the sport, he has also shown considerable improvement in his fighting abilities as well.
With just six fights into his boxing career, Jake Paul has shown the ability to knock people out and is looking to do the same against Fury.
During a recent appearance on The MMA Hour podcast, Jake Paul revealed that he is aiming to get a finish against Fury. While suggesting that he would be disappointed if he fails to do so, 'The Problem Child' said:
"Yes. 100 per cent. This is a must knock-out fight for me, personally, because I know I can do it. I would just be letting myself down. I'm going to win the fight, but if I don't knock him out, yeah, I'll definitely be pissed off because I know I'm capable of it. I just have to execute the game plan... I know I'm going to get that done."
