JAKE PAUL takes on Tommy Fury this weekend in a huge clash that has been brewing for years.
Paul and Fury have been on a collision course to fight since 2021, and have been previously been scheduled to fight twice.
This weekend, the pair will finally put the trash talk behind them to lace up their gloves for one epic battle.
Fury said at the press conference earlier this week: “Look at my eyes. You’re getting put to sleep inside four rounds.
“I’m a fresh young fighter. You had two lucky escapes at this fight. You should have taken escape, you’ve blown your ticket – I’m coming to take your head off.”
Paul replied: “I think we make a deal. If you win – I’ll pay you double what I’m paying you already – but if I win I take everything I’m paying you since you’re so confident. Deal or no deal?”
Fury gladly accepted.

Big fight prediction
This fight will come down to experience, and while neither fighter has much of it, Tommy has more.
The Fighting Fury has been boxing since he was 14 or 15 years old and has the basic fundamentals that should carry him through here.
Paul has come on leaps and bounds since his debut in 2019, but it’s going to be difficult for him to really impose himself against someone with a stiff jab and a long reach.
If Fury gets going early and makes the middle of the ring his, hard jabs should keep Paul honest until the 23-year-old is ready to land something big.
Fury has to be careful of Paul’s big overhand right, the one that knocked out Tyron Woodley.
But as long as he avoids that, Fury wins this one with relative ease. Forget all the bluster.
Prediction: Fury BEATS Paul via Round 3 TKO
