TYSON FURY revealed he lost “a lot of money” betting on brother Tommy’s fight with Jake Paul.
Fury joined his boxing family – including Tommy – in boasting how YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul would not see the final bell in the bout.
But he watched from ringside in February as his younger brother edged out a close split-decision victory in Saudi Arabia.
Although Fury, 35, was so confident in Tommy’s power that he lumped cash on a knockout over Paul, 26.
He told Queensberry Boxing’s YouTube channel: “My brother Tommy can hit as hard as any heavyweight that you’ll ever hit.
“It’s very hard, but yet he can’t knock out KSI or Jake Paul because he doesn’t have the experience to set that punch up.

“I actually lost a lot of money when Tommy fought Jake Paul. Because I bet 100 per cent that this YouTuber is not going to take Tommy’s power. No way.
“Tommy hits me in the gut and it hurts me, he hits very hard when we’re body sparring he hits me all up the arms and my arms are sore.
“I’m thinking ‘this YouTuber’s not going to be able to take this power’ so I bet him heavily to win by knockout and he won on points.”
Tommy, 23, went on to face Paul’s arch enemy KSI, 30, following his win over the American.
