      Tommy Fury says Jake Paul will ‘NEVER step foot in a boxing ring’ again after fight and vows to ’emphatically’ KO rival

      by

      TOMMY FURY said Jake Paul will “NEVER step foot in a boxing ring ever again” after they meet at the end of the month. The celebrity boxing pair have announced the latest rescheduling of their grudge match, on February 26 in Saudi Arabia.

      Fury, 23, becomes the first opponent Paul, 26, will face with a recognised professional boxing record.
      And he vowed to be the last by burying the YouTube star’s career as a prizefighter in the Diriyah desert.
      Fury told Queensberry Promotions: “Enjoy your last training camp.
      “Pay everybody a bit more, you know, ‘Thanks for the good times on the way,’ because you’re gonna be kissing the canvas, and you’ll never step foot in a boxing ring ever again.”

      The pay-per-view bout has been billed The Truth as the two look to finally settle their score in the ring.
      And Fury said: “The truth is Jake Paul will be knocked out emphatically in a few rounds. This man can’t live with me.”
      The brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, 34, was forced to pull out twice before due a rib injury and US visa issue.
      But he looks to put the two years of bitter feuding in the past and end it all between the ropes.

      Fury said: “My mind’s bulletproof. He can’t get into my mind, I’m training as hard as I’ve ever done before.
      “But I’m training a lot different — I’ve brought different people in, I’m training in different places, training in different styles.
      “He’s not gonna know what hit him. I’ve been there. I’ve seen all this before. I was beating better people than he last fought in my amateur days.”

      Tyson Fury’s energy drink sales soar by 300% after dad John brands KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime ‘cat’s p*** in a bottle’

      by

      JOHN FURY has helped son Tyson’s energy drink soar in sales by 300 per cent after branding Prime “cat’s p*** in a bottle”. WBC heavyweight champion Tyson launched his Furocity line in early 2022, striking an exclusive deal with Iceland.

      But in the same year, YouTube boxing rivals-turned-business partners KSI and Logan Paul brought out Prime hydration.
      The beverage has sparked a craze in the UK, with fans scrapping to get their hands on a bottle and shops selling them on for up to £100.
      But evidently John – the father to Tommy and Tyson – is not a fan and cannot understand the hype as he urged fans to buy Furocity instead.
      And it appears to have done the trick, as sales went up by 300 per cent after the scathing video, according to the Daily Star.

      An Iceland spokesperson said: “We’re doing everything we can to keep up with the huge demand we’ve been seeing for Furocity Energy drinks in recent days, following John Fury’s video post.
      “We would ask shoppers to please remain patient as we work hard to get cans of Furocity Energy back on our shelves.”
      John’s critical response to trying Prime for the first time went viral online.
      Taking a swig, he told Freebets: “Disgusting. I wouldn’t put that in my mouth.

      “You couldn’t pay me a fiver to drink that. That was horrible. Can we move on from that? That was rubbish.
      “What was that? Cat p*** in a bottle? It was a cross between cat p***, dog p*** and camel p***.
      “Furocity’s the one you want, not that.”

      And he showed off some of his trademark reflexes and counter punching, evading shots coming his way and firing back rapidly.
      Mayweather aimed verbal digs at Jarvis, 21, throughout and boasted about his skills at the ripe old age of 45.
      At one point, he says: “I’m so sweet with this s***. Nobody can ever be better than me.
      “Come on, get back. That’s all, just light work. No matter what I’m on, I’m sweet with this s***. I’m sweet with this s***.

      Floating around the ring, Mayweather gloats: “I ain’t boxed since last year. I feel calm, I’m almost 50-years-old. I’m cold with this s***.”
      “I already beat him up this rounds, now I’ve gotta move for the rest with my good legs.”
      Jarvis, who shot to fame in the Faze YouTube clan, won his only boxing match, knocking out TikToker Michael Le, 22, in 2021.
      And he showed off the damage of trading leather with boxing royalty, revealing his cuts and bruises.

      But he has returned for five exhibitions since against stars of the MMA, social media and boxing world.
      Mayweather is set to box again on February 25 at the O2 Arena, marking his UK boxing debut.

      Jake Paul refuses to apologise for leaking birth of Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae’s baby and says they should PAY him

      by

      JAKE PAUL refused to say sorry for breaking the news about Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae’s baby – and said they should instead PAY him. The celebrity boxing pair are finally set to fight, on February 26 in Saudi Arabia at the third time of asking.

      Fury, 23, was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then last August amid US visa issues.
      So after agreeing to reschedule on neutral ground, Paul, 26, claimed rival was left with “no excuses”.
      But he also used the social media dig to bring up the birth of Fury and Molle-Mae’s baby daughter, which at the time had not been announced.
      Paul posted: “After multiple failed attempts to get Tommy Fury in the ring, the moment of truth has finally arrived.

      “Fumbles has no excuses now. Baby is born. Money is massive. Immigration is not an issue.”
      Paul made the claim on January 27, and Molly-Mae later revealed baby Bambi was born four days prior to that.
      The YouTuber-turned prizefighter hosted a Q&A on Instagram and was asked if he should apologise for leaking the birth.
      Paul responded: “No she should pay me for giving that baby more clout.”

      In an interview with TalkTV’s Piers Morgan, Fury was probed on the American’s move to announce his child’s birth.
      And he said: “At the end of the day, all Jake Paul can do from wherever he is in this world is speculate, and that’s all that was. 
      “Speculation, nothing is ever true unless you hear it from me and Molly. It’s part and parcel, it’s what we have to do.”
      Fury admitted the mental and verbal warfare is part of the fight game – but warned Paul’s famous antics cannot save him in the ring.
      He said: “It comes with the entertainment business, that’s what we’re in, and me and Jake Paul are great dance partners, and I’ve enjoyed the build up so far, it’s going to get a lot more heated, and I can’t wait.
      “Social media can’t save Jake Paul, his mouth can’t save him, it comes down to fighting.”

      Jake Paul says Tommy Fury had more chance in their first two axed fights as rival is now ‘getting knocked the f*** out’

      by

      It marks the THIRD time they have attempt to put bragging rights, reputations and unbeaten records on the line.
      Fury, 23, was forced to pull out twice before due a rib injury and US visa issue.
      And Paul, 26, claimed his rival missed his chance of success as he stands primed to end it all with a KO.
      He told Queensberry Promotions: “Me and my team have said it, he should have fought me back then. It would have been probably a much more competitive fight.

      “I think I still would’ve won, but I don’t know if I would’ve knocked him out. Now, he’s getting knocked the f*** out.”
      Paul first signed to face Fury in December 2021 in his fifth professional bout in Tampa.
      He was 4-0 at the time, having beat YouTuber AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, as well as former UFC pair Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, 38.
      Woodley, 40, replaced Fury and was brutally knocked out by Paul in their short-notice rematch.

      The two then renegotiated for last August in New York until Fury was denied entry to America.
      Paul would go on to beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, two months later over eight rounds, his biggest win to date.
      And he insisted the time since first putting pen to paper on a fight with Fury has benefited his development more.
      Paul said: “It’s definitely helped me way more. Because like I’ve said, I’ve only been boxing for two years and 364 days as a pro.
      “So I’ve got exponentially better and beating a guy like Anderson Silva, that experience is literally priceless.
      “Going eight rounds with Anderson Silva is priceless experience and he hasn’t been in the gym dedicated like I have.
      “So I’ve definitely ran laps around him in the past year.”

      by

      According to Sky Sports News, both Joshua and Franklin have agreed terms to the fight.
      But promoter Eddie Hearn insisted neither have officially signed despite ongoing talks.
      Hearn told iD Boxing: “The contract is not signed for that fight but he’s the guy that I think it will be. He has been for a while.
      “We’ll look to tie that up, April 1st is the date, you’ll get an AJ press conference next week.”

      Joshua, 33, has linked up with new trainer Derrick James in Texas following double defeat by Usyk, 36.
      He watched from ringside in November as Dillian Whyte, 34, edged past Franklin, 29, in a disputed decision win.
      It has set up the pair of amateur rivals-turned professional opponents for a summer stadium rematch.
      But Whyte – who beat AJ in the unpaid ranks but lost in the pros in 2015 – voiced his anger to SunSport at not getting Joshua next.

      But Hearn responded: “I feel that Franklin gave Dillian Whyte a tremendous fight and it was a very, very competitive and close fight.
      “So I don’t see why it’s a bad fight for Anthony Joshua. Anthony Joshua has no problem fighting Dillian Whyte.
      “I think it’s a stadium fight, we can do that fight next, AJ’s teamed up with a new trainer after losing two on the bounce against the pound-for-pound No1.
      “It’s a very good fight. Competitive fight and I guess the comparisons will be.
      “Let’s see how Anthony Joshua does against Jermaine Franklin versus how Dillian Whyte did versus Jermaine Franklin and then we’ll see.”

      They officially came head to head for the first time last weekend at Wembley Arena to confirm the fight.
      But Paul claimed the two are set to face off once more in Saudi to kick off their promotion – but Fury plans to no-show.
      He tweeted: “Tommy Fury is scared.
      “Told my team he can’t make the kick-off press conference next week in Saudi Arabia because he needs more time to train.

      “Thought you said you wouldn’t even have to train to fight me? You and your papa scared.”
      But Fury hit back: “The press conference can wait until I get to Saudi Arabia you fool.
      “I’ll be there on the 16th. 3 weeks and it’s over you big stiff sweaty goth.”
      Paul, 26, is currently out in Dubai training for the fight, which takes place 700 miles down the road.

      Whereas Fury, 23, is in camp in Bolton at the Elite-boxing gym, headed up by head coach Alex Matvienko.
      Paul swapped sunny Puerto Rico – where he has been located for the past two years – to base himself in the Middle East.
      And he gave fans a glimpse into his training as he juggled while vowing to knock out Fury.
      Paul said “I will knock him out. I will embarrass him. I will put him to sleep. I’m the best in the world.
      “I’m the best boxer in the world, baby. I Jake Paul, will knock out, defeat and embarrass Tommy Fury, February 26th, live in Saudi Arabia.”

      Tommy Fury says Jake Paul cannot beat him even with a ‘hammer in both hands’ as he makes grudge fight prediction

      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.”
