Jake Paul claims he will be disappointed if he doesn't knock out Tommy Fury
'The Problem Child' will be going up against the toughest test of his career so far in Tommy Fury. While Paul has faced experienced MMA fighters like Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva, he hasn't quite faced a 'real boxer' like 'TNT'.
However, Jake Paul isn't worried about the challenge he has in front of him and believes he can knock out Tommy Fury in their clash on Sunday. During an interview with Ariel Helwani, 'The Problem Child' suggested that he would be disappointed if he doesn't stop 'TNT':
"Yes. Yes. 100 percent. 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 p*ssed 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."
