“He’s been destroying his sparring partners. You can ask them. He knows who they are. They know whether Tommy is the real deal or not.”
John revealed Tommy has sparred over 100 rounds for his fight with YouTuber-turned boxer Paul in Saudi Arabia.
And he remains bullish that defeat for his son would cause his boxing career to come to a close.
John said: “Listen, losing is not an option for Tommy.
“But for some miraculous reason Tommy loses, it would be over for him. It would have to be. It’s the easiest fight in the world for Tommy.
“Tommy can’t believe his luck to be fair. But, it’s third time lucky. We’ve had two other attempts to get this fight.
“Everything has gone perfectly this time. It’s all about timing.”
