TYSON FURY has made his prediction for how he thinks his brother Tommy’s long-awaited fight with Jake Paul will unfold.
The celebrity boxing rivals are in camp after announcing the latest rescheduling of their bout, on February 26 in Saudi Arabia.
Paul, 26, has set up shop in Dubai, just 700 miles away from the scene of the pay-per-view fight in Riyadh.
Meanwhile Fury, 23, has been training in Bolton at the Elite-Boxing in Bolton, headed up by head coach Alex Matvienko.
And he welcomed Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship star Danny Christie through their doors to spar this week.
WBC heavyweight champion Fury, 11 years the senior of Tommy, is adamant his sibling will be too good for “The Problem Child” and will wear down and eventually stop his rival.

He told IFL TV: “I don’t think it’s going to be a one round, two-second knockout, one punch type of job.
“I think he’ll wear him down. [It’s eight rounds], so I think Tommy can wear him out and stop him later on in the last few rounds.
“As soon as Tommy hits him with some hard punches, I want to see what Jake Paul’s made of.
“Because when Tommy hits me with hard punches and big gloves on, it hurts me.

“I know Jake ain’t as tough as me or as big as me so he’s definitely going to be feeling pain, a lot of it.”
This is the THIRD time that Tommy – who won the hearts of the nation and Molly-Mae Hague on hit show Love Island – and Paul have attempted to get it on in the ring.
The Brit was forced to pull out twice before due a rib injury and US visa issue.
And Paul has recently claimed that his rival missed his chance of success as he stands primed to end it all with a KO.
