TOMMY FURY VS JAKE PAUL?
“I see him as a potential opponent in the future,” Paul told talkSPORT.
“He has to get through my sparring partner Anthony Taylor – I think he is highly underestimating Anthony’s skillset.
“And I personally think Anthony is gonna beat Tommy and upset the whole world.
“But I wanted to see if Tommy would step up to the plate, put his money where his mouth is.
“Because he says he wants to fight me, he says he wants to do bigger fights and get involved in the US market.
“Now is your time to shine, let’s see what you’re made of.”

TALE OF THE TAPE
Here’s how the two fighters are looking ahead of their clash later..
GOOD EVENING!
Hello and welcome, everyone, to this evening’s live coverage of Tommy Fury vs Anthony Taylor!
He might be on the undercard of a Jake Paul fight, but he’s still a big deal, so you can have our extensive coverage of his fight tonight, on us!
The younger, handsome half-brother of heavyweight world champ Tyson is back in business this evening as he takes on MMA star Taylor.
Taylor has been sparring Paul in preparation for the Problem Child’s huge clash with Tyron Woodley tonight.
One wouldn’t be wrong to assume that a Fury win beautifully sets up a future fight with Paul, assuming he doesn’t lose to Woodley.
But Fury has insisted this week his mind isn’t on Jake Paul, it’s solely on Taylor.
We’ll see about that one soon.
We can expect Fury to be in the ring around 1.15am, so just a few hours to go.
Until then, kick back and feast on our coverage of tonight’s huge event.
