Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul tale of the tape: How Love Island star and YouTuber compare as Tyson calls for celebrity fight


TYSON FURY called on Jake Paul to step into the ring and face his half-brother Tommy.

American YouTuber Paul has two knockout wins from his first two pro fights.

Meanwhile, ex-Love Island star Tommy extended his winning record with a comprehensive second-round victory over journeyman Scott Williams at the weekend.

And that led to WBC heavyweight champ Tyson tweeting: “Jake Paul where you at?”

So how do the potential rivals compare?

Paul turned 24 in January and is more than two years older than his British counterpart, who will celebrate his 22nd birthday in May.

Both fighters have unblemished records – Fury is 5-0 and Paul’s 2-0.

Of Fury’s five wins, four have been by KO, while both of Paul’s finished inside the distance.

Both fight with an orthodox stance – the 6ft 1in Paul is just an inch taller than Fury but ‘TNT’ has the longer reach, 80ins to 76ins.

The big one, though, is the Instagram followers and who would have the bigger fan base behind them cheering on from home.

Reality TV sensation Fury boasts an impressive 3.2m.

But ‘The Problem Child’ – younger brother of fellow YouTuber Logan – blows his rival out of the water with a whopping 14.6m.

Paul’s next fight is on April 17, facing retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 36.

Tommy has won twice since coming out of ITV’s popular villa, where he was runner-up alongside girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague.

He opened the door to fighting KSI, 27, in 2019 after the Brit YouTuber beat the older Paul brother, 25, by split-decision.

But for now, Tommy is making up for his lack of amateur experience by fighting as frequently as he possibly can.
