    ‘He’s not hearing that eighth bell ring’ – Jake Paul makes Tommy Fury fight prediction and says rival is ‘going to fade’

    JAKE PAUL predicted Tommy Fury will ‘fade’ in their fight and claimed: ‘He’s not hearing that eighth bell ring’. The celebrity fighting rivals have signed and confirmed their December 18 grudge match in Florida, over eight rounds.

    Paul beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley over the same distance in August, the night Fury won against his sparring partner Anthony Taylor in a four-rounder.
    But the 2019 Love Island star has never been past that four round distance in his seven fights.
    Paul said: “I will TKO him in the later rounds. He hasn’t had a fight past four rounds so I think he’ll be gassed.
    “I think this will be the first time he’s getting punched in the face by someone who can actually hit and is the same weight as him.
    “He’s always fought smaller guys with losing records. So I think he’s going to fade. I know he’s going to fade.
    “It’s just what round? Fifth? Sixth? Seventh? Maybe I knock him out in the last ten seconds of the eighth.

    “But he’s not hearing that eighth bell ring. I’ve got $500,000 on the line, and when he loses, he has to change his name to Tommy Fumbles.
    “He accepted it, so we’ll see what happens.”
    Fury, 22, is more experienced at 7-0, but Paul, 24, is entering his third consecutive pay-per-view headliner.
    Before beating Woodley, 39, he knocked out YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
    And despite Fury being scheduled as his first opponent with prior professional boxing experience, Paul takes confidence from his most recent win.

    He said: “It was my first real test that I passed. A UFC Champion who dominated the UFC with his big overhand right.
    “He hit me with a shot in the fourth round that was nothing. I ate it very easily and kept moving.
    “I found a way to win and passed my first test in my fourth professional fight.
    “Nobody from Muhammad Ali to Mike Tyson to Floyd Mayweather was testing themselves as much as I was in my fourth fight.
    “I learned a lot about myself and what I’m capable of and performing under pressure.
    “I look forward to bringing that experience to my next fight.”

    KSI predicts Tommy Fury will ‘s*** himself on the big stage’ and backs YouTube rival Jake Paul to beat Love Island star

    KSI has predicted Tommy Fury will ‘s*** himself on the big stage’ as he backed arch rival Jake Paul to win the celebrity grudge match. Paul and Fury have signed and confirmed their anticipated fight on December 18 in Miami.

    It has captured the attention of the YouTube and reality TV scene and was discussed by British social media star KSI and his ‘Sidemen’ group.
    He said: “Yeah, I see Tommy losing, you know why? I see him s***ing himself on the big stage.”
    Fury, 22, comes into the fight more experienced at 7-0, but Paul, 24, is now entering his third consecutive pay-per-view headliner.
    He has wins over YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
    But his last win was over eight rounds against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in a homecoming Cleveland fight.
    Fury will be his first opponent of prior professional boxing experience and even his dad and trainer John raised the question of dealing with the big moment.

    He said to BT Sport: “It’s make or break, for both men, but it’ll hit Tommy harder because Tommy’s supposed to be a professional boxer.
    “Tommy will work hard, he’ll do what he’s gotta do. Has Tommy got the skill to beat him? Yes. Has he got the power to knock him out? Yes.
    “All it is with Tommy – he’s young, can he handle the big occasion on the night?”
    KSI, 28, beat Paul’s brother Logan, 26, in their rematch a year after they drew in a 2018 exhibition.
    And he agreed Fury, who featured on the 2019 series of Love Island, has all the tools to win, but has to hold his nerve.
    KSI said: “I think that’s it, he knows you’ve got everything, you’re ready, you could f*** him up, but will you be able to act on the night? And he’s just not sure.”

    Paul beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in his last fight and Fury, 22, won against his sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, on the undercard.
    The YouTuber, 24, previously stopped online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
    But Fury hit out at Paul’s 4-0 record and claimed the social media influencer has bitten off more than he can chew this time.
    He said: “I took this away from his fight with Tyron Woodley. The man got a split-decision win.
    “That means you only just won against a 40-year-old retired UFC fighter. My god, well done. Good job, mate. You just about beat a 40-year-old man.
    “When you get in there with a fresh 22-year-old whose been doing this all his life, you’re going to wish you stuck to paying UFC fighters off and basketball players.

    “You should have gone and fought Tiger Woods, not somebody who has done it his whole life because you’re in for a big shock.
    “You’re the one who is going to crumble.”
    Fury is more experienced at 7-0, but Paul is entering his third his third pay-per-view main event.
    The 2019 Love Island star has also been warned by his brother Tyson and dad John to RETIRE if he does not win by knockout.
    But Fury talked down any suggestion of unwanted pressure, having dealt with the magnitude of his family’s fighting name all of his life.
    You should have gone and fought Tiger Woods, not somebody who has done it his whole life because you’re in for a big shock. Tommy Fury to Jake Paul
    He explained: “Everybody keeps talking about the pressure. All the people in the arena. I don’t care about that.
    “There’s only one man I care about that night. I’m not taking in the crowd or any of that.
    “I’m coming over to Tampa Bay to do a demolition job and please the whole wide world. It doesn’t matter how much pressure is on me.
    “There’s been pressure on me from the start and just because there are a few more people there and a few more lights, I won’t crack. Believe you me.
    “It’s in my blood and I’m going to go out there and shut this guy up for everybody in the world that’s asking for it.
    “This was a step too far and I’m going to prove that on December 18.” More

    Tyson Fury warns brother Tommy must ‘fly to a foreign country’ if he fails to beat Jake Paul and ‘ain’t coming home’

    TYSON FURY warned his brother Tommy must ‘fly to a foreign country’ if he fails to beat Jake Paul and ‘ain’t coming home’.Fury is training and set to corner Tommy for the celebrity grudge match on December 18 in Florida.

    The pair attended a pre-fight press conference, held in Tampa, on Zoom, where the Gypsy King laid out the consequences if his brother suffers defeat.
    Fury, 33, said: “I think this is really good fight for everybody who is going to be watching around the world.
    “There’s going to be a lot of people watching. A lot of people are interested in this fight.
    “You’ve got two young, undefeated guys. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be an excellent night. I think Tommy will knock him out.
    “No disrespect to Jake Paul, but like I said to Tommy, if he can’t knock Jake Paul out, fly to a foreign country and stay there because he ain’t coming home.”
    Tommy, 22, is usually coached and cornered by his dad John, but due to his father’s prior criminal conviction, he is unable to travel Stateside.

    It means Fury and his trainer Sugarhill Steward are leading the training camp.
    Tommy was in America with Sugarhill but was forced to fly home to England due to a family emergency, so spoke at the presser virtually.
    He said: “I feel like I’ve won the lottery.
    “You’re asking me to fight on a massive world stage, you’re going to pay me nicely, and all I’ve got to do is fight Jake Paul. A YouTuber.
    “I’m going to splatter him December 18. I’ve won the lottery. I’m begging Jake Paul, please do not pull out.
    “Because normally, when we get to this stage in boxing, you’ve got to fight for a world title. But I’m fighting a YouTuber. Sign me up.”

    Tommy said: “You fought a 40-year-old guy in your last fight. He hit you with one proper punch and you fell through the ropes.
    “When I come for you, I’m knocking you spark out. You fought retired UFC people, a basketball player and that’s it.
    “When you fight me December 18, you’re getting knocked spark out. This is a step too far for you. Stick to YouTube because that’s all you’re good for.
    “I’m going to show you what losing feels like.”

    WBC heavyweight champion Fury will train his brother for the fight, and has been enjoying some verbal sparring with the enemy in private.
    Paul said on TMZ Sports: “We’re going back and forth in the DMs right now, me and Tyson, sending each other voice messages, which is pretty funny.
    “I’m calling his brother a squid, he’s saying, ‘He’s gonna annihilate you Jakey boy’ I’ll play you one.”
    Paul then gets his phone out and plays a voice message from Fury, who says: “He’s going to come for you, Jakey boy.
    “You’re getting annihilated, Jakey!”
    Paul then added: “It’s amazing, bro. You can’t hate the guy. Tyson, I love, I want to make that clear to everybody.

    “I love Tyson, I love that he’s involved, great entertainer, unfortunately I have to end his brother’s career, that’s just the way it is.
    “But Tyson, we can be friends still, bro. It’s all good.”
    Paul beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in his last fight and Fury won against his sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, on the undercard.
    The YouTuber, 24, previously stopped online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
    Tommy, 22, will be his first opponent with prior professional boxing experience and also has the No1 heavyweight in the world in his corner.
    But brother Tyson and dad John have already warned the 2019 Love Island star must retire from boxing if he fails to beat Paul.
    Asked if Tommy must quit boxing if he loses, Paul responded: “110 per cent, and he will have to change his name to Tommy Fumbles.
    “His family said they’re going to disown him and that’s it for him. He says he wants to be a world champion and he gets beat by me? See you later.
    “But, lucky for Tommy, you know, he’s good looking. He can just go to modelling, he can go back to reality TV, no harm, no foul.”

    Jake Paul says Tommy Fury only fights because ‘his dad told him to’ and would rather be ‘an Abercrombie & Fitch model’

    JAKE PAUL said Tommy Fury is only a fighter because ‘his dad told him to’ and would rather be ‘an Abercrombie & Fitch model’. Paul’s verbal warfare with Fury continued as they took part in a press conference ahead of their December 18 grudge match in Florida.

    Tommy Fury fights Jake Paul on December 18
    The American, who was in Tampa attending the media event, hit out at the 2019 Love Island star, who was present on Zoom alongside his brother Tyson.
    Paul, 24, said: “This kid’s chin has never been tested. He’s only been put in with opponents that were meant to lose.
    “I’ve never done that. All my fights were stepping into the unknown. For him, this is the first fight where the opponent isn’t just put in there to lose.
    “On the biggest stage possible, in front of all these people, this young man will crack. He’s not battle-tested like me.
    “He hasn’t lived the life that I have. He’s had a silver spoon in his mouth his whole entire life.
    “He’s doing this because his brother does it. Because his dad told him to do it. This isn’t something he wants to do.
    “If it was up to him, he’d be an Abercrombie & Fitch model.”

    Paul beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in his last fight and Fury, 22, won against his sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, on the undercard.
    The YouTuber previously stopped online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
    But he is entering his third pay-per-view main event and believes Fury’s inexperience on the big stage will be his downfall on fight night.
    Paul said: “Tommy claims to have been doing this his whole life and he’s had this amateur career, and he’s been around it and that is true, but he hasn’t worked as hard as me.
    “I see a green guy who hasn’t sparred enough times and who has only been put in there with opponents that were meant to lose.
    “This is his first real test where his opponent just doesn’t flop over. You’re going to see that. You’re going to see a fighter who is a virgin, in my opinion.
    “He has no idea what he’s getting himself into. This is his first time under the big lights and on the big stage, and he’s going to crack under the pressure.”
