While Fury hit back saying: “Your time is up, I am going to knock you the f*** out”.

There was a flair-up on the stage after the weigh-ins as both tried to get one up on each other
Paul has his say
The problem child said: “That man is capping, getting all hype on stage and acting like his brother.
“You people booing, don’t know f***.
“I am a really f****** dawg.
“The talk is over, it is time to figure out the truth.”
Fury on face off
Fury said: “His time is up. tomorrow night his time is up.

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

Paul aiming to retire Fury
The YouTuber turned boxer is aiming to “decapitate” Tommy Fury as he targets his biggest win in boxing to date.
He said: “Tommy, I hope you’ve enjoyed these last few moments of your career. This is it. You’re going to be retired from boxing after this, you’re going to be disowned by your family, you’re going to go back to your mother’s maiden name.
“There’s nothing else that can save you. It is just me and you. Mano a mano [Hand and hand]. You’re brother’s not in the ring with you, your dad’s not in the ring with you anymore, Molly’s not in the ring with you anymore, Bambi isn’t in the ring with you anymore.
“So all of that cute motivation about having a child and fighting for her, all of that s*** goes out of the window. I’m coming to take your f***ing head off, decapitate you.
“I’m a mean, angry person deep down and I’m going to take it all out on your f***ing face. There is nothing you could do to f***ing beat me.”
