JAKE PAUL revealed the exact punch he wants to knock out Tommy Fury with and warned: “He’s just not going to be prepared for the moment.”
The pair of celebrity boxing rivals have announced the latest rescheduling of their eight-round grudge match, on February 26 in Saudi Arabia
Paul comes into it off the back of wins over ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47.
All three were either knocked out or floored by the YouTuber-turned 6-0 boxer’s right hand.
But Paul, 26, wants to put down Fury, 23, with his left hook and warned the fight will not go past the half way mark.
He told iFL TV: “Me and Tommy will be around three rounds max.

“He’s just not going to be prepared for the moment or what I’m bringing to the table.
“I’m trying to knock him out with a hook actually, I want him to be the first person I knock out with my left hand so we’ve been working on that.”
Fury has twice pulled out of fighting Paul in the past, with a rib injury in December 2021 and then a US visa issue last August.
The travel woe still persists today and as a result has brought the duo over to the Saudi desert.

And Fury has been told by his champion brother Tyson, 34, to stay in the Middle East and vacate their famous surname if he loses.
With the pressure mounting on, Paul believes he will ruin the 2019 Love Islander’s love for boxing as he broke down how he feels their bout will go.
He said: “I think the first round will be chill and then I’ll start to figure him out after 30-45 seconds.
“Then the second round I’ll turn it up and it shouldn’t take much more than that.
“Tommy should get a good wealth manager, I can recommend you a few.
“Take the money and ride off into the sunset but this is going to set your life in the direction that you should have been on before and you’re going to hate this f***ing sport after February 26.”
