      I don’t wish harm on Tommy Fury’s life but I will KO him in decisive fashion and earn respect I deserve, says Jake Paul

      by

      JAKE PAUL has vowed to knock Tommy Fury out in decisive fashion – and finally earn the respect he feels is due. The celebrity boxing pair are set to end two years of feuding in the ring tomorrow night in Saudi Arabia.

      And the fight marks the first time Paul will face an opponent with prior professional boxing experience.
      But the YouTuber-turned prizefighter warned Fury will be left brutally unconscious – like the other victims on his record.
      And the savage nature of victory would leave no more doubt on his so-far polarising career as a boxer.
      Paul told SunSport in Riyadh: “I know I’m going to win but my goal is to knock him out and I know I’m capable of that if I execute my game plan properly.

      “So I think knocking out the professional boxer in a cold, deceive, crazy way like I knock people out, that will get the respect. 
      “If it’s just a win, I think people will admit I can really box but it won’t be the full level of respect that I think I deserve. 
      “I have to earn it though on Sunday.” 
      Fury, 23, was forced to twice pull out of the pay-per-view grudge match before, amid injury and US visa issues.

      It has kept the feud festering but both stars have promised to bury one another’s careers in the Diriyah desert.
      Fury has even agreed to RETIRE and forfeit his purse if he fails to beat the prankster-gone-puncher.
      But Paul feels disregarded by his rival and insisted he is in for a rude awakening – as has been the case with his six prior opponents.
      He said: “I don’t ever wish harm upon his life by any means. 
      “I’ve always become friends with my opponents after the fight – I talk to Nate Robinson, I talk to Tyron Woodley, I talk to Anderson Silva. 
      “Who knows what will happen? I don’t know, we’ll see what happens. After I knock him out I hope he realises that I’m just a really good fighter. 
      “I think that’s what all my other opponents realised, they feel less bad about it the more people I beat. He shouldn’t feel bad. 
      “I’ve put Anderson Silva down, I’ve put Woodley down, I’m going to put him down. It’s not that big of a deal when you look at it like that.”

      ‘Silent as a mouse’ – Jake Paul says Tommy Fury is REFUSING to sign winner-take-all fight bet after being sent contract

      by

      JAKE PAUL has accused Tommy Fury of REFUSING to sign their winner-take-all fight bet despite being sent a contract. The celebrity boxing pair are finally due to settle their score in the ring on Sunday night in Saudi Arabia.
      Jake Paul accused Tommy Fury of refusing to sign their winner-take-all fight bet
      Paul upped the ante as he proposed a double-or-nothing wager, with Fury DOUBLING his purse if he wins, but walking away with nothing in defeat.
      And when they came face to face for the final time, he suggested his rival backed out of the bet.
      Paul said: “You didn’t want to sign the contract.”
      The two continued to squabble on stage before Fury shoved the YouTuber-turned boxer, sparking a row on stage.

      Paul later spoke out online to claim – despite paperwork being emailed – that Fury has not signed his end of the pre-fight bet.
      He said: “Alright get this, so as you guys saw the bet yesterday on stage, Tommy agreed to it, shook my hand on stage.
      “His dad said that they would agree to it, so I signed the contract right in front of them.
      “We send it over to their lawyers and just as I thought, they have gone silent as a mouse for the last 24 hours.

      “They do not want to sign the contract and it just goes to show that they have this false confidence.
      “Put your money where your mouth is, you shook on it like a man and now you guys haven’t signed the actual contract to make it official. Soft.”
      Fury, joined by his champion brother Tyson on stage, came in slightly heavier at 184½lb, compared to Paul who was a career-lowest 183.6lb.
      And he roared: “His time is up. Tomorrow night his time is up.
      “Jake Paul will no longer be boxing, I’m going to put this man away inside four rounds.
      “You’re going to see why our last name is Fury, because we’re the best at fighting to ever live, that’s the reason why.”
      Paul, also joined by brother Logan, accused Fury of being nervous.
      He said: “He’s acting up on stage. All you booing, you’re dumb as f*** too.
      “This professional boxer is going down, man. It’s easy, it’s simple. I’m ready, calm, cool and collected.
      “This is what I do, he’s never been in a moment like that. He’s shaking, you can see the nerves running through his system. He can’t stop moving.

      But away from his final days of preparation, the Problem Child reignited his war of words with former super-middleweight world champ Froch, who previously labelled the YouTuber a “clown”.
      Paul, who has won his six pro boxing fights against amateurs, tweeted: “Carl Froch mad because I made more in one year than he made his whole career. You want the payday. I get it.
      “So let’s do this, fight Anderson Silva on my next card and if you get lucky and beat him, then we can step in the ring and you make your career payday. Let me know.”
      But Froch, 45, was having none of it as the retired 33-2 fighter responded with a video on Twitter and threatened to send Paul “into f***ing orbit”.

      When quizzed about the response from “The Cobra”, the American told BT Sport: “Carl, I like the hype, I like the s*** talk and think it’s great, but I want you to beat Anderson Silva.
      “If you can beat Anderson Silva and prove that you have still got it then I guarantee you that I will fight you. But I don’t think that you’re gonna do that.
      “You seem pretty desperate, you seem like you want money and that’s why you are talking all of this s*** randomly out of nowhere at your age.
      “Beat Anderson Silva and we can talk.”

      British heavyweight star Derek Chisora this week claimed that he believes the social media sensation would beat Froch, to which Paul said: “I agree.
      “He needs to grow his name in the Us as not many people in the US know him.
      “So for me to make big fights then they have to be a draw in the US as that’s where my fan base is.
      “That’s why I said fight Anderson Silva and then we’ll see what’s up.”

      Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury live stream and TV guide – how to watch Saudi clash

      by

      Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will clash in Saudi ArabiaCredit: AFP
      This weekend, the pair will finally put the trash talk behind them to lace up their gloves for one epic battle.
      Fury said at the press conference earlier this week: “Look at my eyes. You’re getting put to sleep inside four rounds.
      “I’m a fresh young fighter. You had two lucky escapes at this fight. You should have taken escape, you’ve blown your ticket – I’m coming to take your head off.”
      Paul replied: “I think we make a deal. If you win – I’ll pay you double what I’m paying you already – but if I win I take everything I’m paying you since you’re so confident. Deal or no deal?”

      Fury gladly accepted.
      How to watch Paul vs Fury
      Paul’s huge bout with Fury will be shown live on BT Sport Box Office in the UK.
      You can live stream the action from the BT Sport Box Office app.
      The event will cost £19.95 to purchase.

      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.

      And the two icons joined forces in the Middle East on Friday to enjoy a bite to eat before being handed swords to wave around with some of the locals.
      The Baddest Man on the Planet shared footage of the get-together on Instagram, and hilariously captioned it with: “Two Tyson’s are better than 1.”
      It comes after Tyson, 56, spoke about his excitement over the fight, despite not knowing who Tommy was.
      The American has been a fan of Paul’s polarising boxing career and even had him on his comeback undercard in 2020.

      But Iron Mike was unaware of who Fury was, despite being the younger brother of world champion Tyson.
      He told talkSPORT:  “Hey, listen, I only saw Paul, I’ve never seen Fury fight. I don’t know, I never saw Fury fight.”
      Paul, 26, knocked out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, the night Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition bout.
      Has since gone 6-0, beating ex-MMA champions in Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47.

      Fury, 23, will be the first recognised boxer Paul has so far faced, but his 6-0 record was hailed by the man who famously bit a chunk out of Evander Holyfield’s ear.
      Tyson said: “Well, he does have boxing experience.
      “He boxed before because it shows in his fights and he’s won against people that he shouldn’t beat.
      “And listen, I don’t think they brought him here to lose either, because he’s good for fighting and is good for boxing.
      “He makes more money than the champions of boxing. So he’s an enigma.”
      Meanwhile, John Fury, the father of Gypsy King and Tommy, is also in Saudi preparing his son for the bout.
      He revealed previously how he had named Tyson after the former world champion, and Iron Mike thanked him for the gesture when they came face-to-face this week.
      John told Tyson: “Here he is, my main man. This is him, the man who I named my son after.
      “Best heavyweight of his era, best young man ever born. Michael Tyson.”
      The veteran responded: “Your son has taken the title to the next level.”

      John replied: “He will not let your name down Michael.”

      Paul aiming to retire Fury

      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.”
