IDRIS VIRGO backed Jake Paul to beat Tommy Fury as the YouTuber is a ‘different calibre’ to the Love Island star.
Virgo, who had his own stint in the popular ITV series, has long called out Tyson’s brother.
And Paul, 3-0 as a boxer, is also on Fury’s radar after the celebrity pair engaged in a social media feud.
Virgo, 27, took the chance to take a dig at his reality TV rival when asked who would win between Fury, 22, and Paul, 24.
He told “I’ll say Jake Paul. Jake Paul win, 100 per cent.
“Tommy Fury is like, going to the cinema, look for them pick and mixes, but you can’t find what you want.
“If that makes sense. If anyone could understand what I’m saying. Jake Paul’s a totally different calibre than Tommy Fury.”
Paul has won all his fights by knockout over online rival ‘AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 36, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 36.
But he is yet to face an experienced boxer, unlike 5-0 Fury, who has instead fought only journeyman opponents.
Virgo has nine wins and one draw while still juggling a career on the small screens with other shows.

He made it clear he wants to fight Paul’s YouTube nemesis KSI, who beat the American’s older brother Logan, 26, by scrappy split-decision in 2019.
Virgo told Behind The Gloves: “Let’s put this in the spanner, let’s throw this in on a fishing rod, let’s roll this in.
“If them two fight, my fishing rod’s out, I want to fight KSI. Can KSI get the bait? Can he bite? Can I get him?
“So KSI, if you see this interview, Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, KSI v the one and only, the Body Breaker, Idris Virgo.
“Can you step up to the challenge? Let’s see.”
