TOMMY FURY claimed not even a hammer in both of Jake Paul’s hands could lead him to victory in Saudi Arabia.
The celebrity boxing rivals are at last braced to settle their score in the ring on February 26 in Riyadh.
Fury has even been warned by his champion brother to vacate their famous fighting surname and stay in the Middle East if he is beaten.
But the 8-0 boxer insisted there is no chance of that happening, even if Paul had a massive handicap.
He told TalkTV’s Piers Morgan: “That’s why that’s not an option.
“There is no way that this man could beat me even if he had a hammer in both hands. There’s no way, and I’m gonna exhibit that.”

Fury, 23, is finally set to get his hands on Paul, 26, after twice being forced to pull out against the American before.
He suffered a rib injury in December 2021 and then US visa issues last August, which has taken the two to the Middle East.
But they hope it is third time lucky having struck a mega-millions deal to fight in the Saudi desert.
Paul has beaten ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47, in the past two years.

But Fury will be his first opponent with a recognised professional boxing record.
And the 2019 Love Islander claimed he will make quick work of American Paul as he revealed his fight prediction.
Fury said: “I know I’m going to knock him out. This fight will not go any more than four rounds.
“The stuff that I’m doing in the gym, the people that I’m handling in the gym. There’s no way this goes the distance.”
