JAKE PAUL said he “wouldn’t even have to train” for an “easy” fight with Tommy Fury after revealing terms to reschedule their grudge match.
The celebrity boxing foes have struck an agreement to fight early next year with opposing camps locked in negotiations.
And Paul claimed he will make easy work of Fury, who has TWICE pulled out of fighting him before.
He said on the MMA Hour: “The kid’s a novice, he’s never fought anyone good. He’s never even fought an eight round fight.
“He just doesn’t have the experience like I do, which is crazy to say because he’s been doing it his whole life, but people call him a professional boxer and they respect him as a professional boxer.
“So I would love to strip that title from him. I wouldn’t even have to actually train for that fight.

“I would still train because I’m a professional, but I wouldn’t have to train to fight him.”
Paul, 25, most recently beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in October, the biggest win in his 6-0 career.
Meanwhile Fury, 23, returned this month in a last-minute exhibition bout against replacement Rolly Lambert, 33.
Paul Bamba, 33, was withdrawn on the day amid a weight disagreement and Paul was a special guest commentator on the night.

After Fury cruised past six rounds, the two clashed post-fight and an agreement to fight in 2023 was struck.
The 2019 Love Island star has twice withdrawn before, after suffering a rib injury in December and US visa issues in August.
So Paul is only willing to try once more if Fury’s team put up the money on their side.
He said: “There’s definitely interest. I think if his team is taking the financial risk and putting the event on, then I’m cool with that.
“I just don’t want to take the risk anymore because I think he’s going to back out, again, most likely.
“But it’s an easy fight for me. Way easier than Anderson.”
