      Tommy Fury mocked for saying he’s at ‘world championship level’ and Viddal Riley is ‘not a big enough draw’ to fight

      by

      TOMMY FURY faced ridicule for stating he is at “world championship level” and that Viddal Riley is “not a big enough draw” to fight him. Fury is coming off the back of handing Jake Paul defeat in their grudge match in Saudi Arabia in February.

      And he is now lined up for another huge celebrity blockbuster against Paul’s YouTube rival KSI.
      But it appears Fury, 24, has no interest in facing fellow 9-0 prospect Riley, once the coach of KSI, 30.
      He told Sky Sports: “No disrespect but Viddal’s fighting a lot lower than me.
      “Say what you want about opposition but I’m fighting on a world championship level.

      “I’m doing millions of pay-per-view buys with all these big names. I’m not going to be foolish and drop down and fight Viddal Riley in York Hall, am I?
      “At the end of the day, all due respect to him but he’s not a big enough draw.
      “At the end of the day, Viddal, who is he outside of boxing? He’s not really anybody. He’s got no global pulling power. He can’t do any pay-per-views.”
      The comment did not go down well with fans, as one said: “Tommy did not say he’s fighting at a world championship level surely.”

      Another added: “Tommy is claiming to fight at a world championship level when his hardest fight was Jake Paul.”
      Riley, 25, knocked out Anees Taj, 27, later that night and hit back at Fury in a blast of his own.
      He responded: “If he doesn’t want to fight, just say he doesn’t want to fight.
      “He’s in a sticky position: he’s chosen that side of things, getting paid extremely well. Just say you’re that guy now, say you’re a crossover boxer.
      “That’s it, that’s all Tommy has to do. All he has to say is: ‘You know what, I’m a crossover guy now, I don’t really have any interest in the traditional path, I’m not looking to be a traditional pro boxer,’ and I’ll leave him alone.
      “But if you’re going to try and blur the lines between the two, then blur the line over here. He doesn’t have to blur the line here.
      “He doesn’t have any pull himself anyway. Jake has the pull. KSI has the pull.
      “Go check the views on any of his fights when he’s fighting in that realm, and then check mine, and I’ve stayed in this realm and, I would say I have more pull than he does.

      “Anees Taj would knock out Tommy Fury. Let’s not play games now. I think Anees Taj would knock out Tommy Fury.
      “I’d like to see Tommy prove himself against an opponent like that, and see if he can deal with them. I doubt he can.”

      Jake Paul’s fight with ex-UFC star Nate Diaz is a ‘MISMATCH’ and will end in four rounds, warns Eddie Hearn

      by

      EDDIE HEARN has labelled Jake Paul’s fight with Nate Diaz as a “MISMATCH” that will end in four rounds. The YouTuber-turned prizefighter returns on August 5 in Texas against Diaz, who is making his professional boxing debut.

      And the MMA veteran – who last year walked out on the UFC – had fans fearing after footage emerged of him in training.
      So promoter Hearn fears that unless Diaz was holding back on the pads, the bout will be one-way traffic.
      He said on The MMA Hour: “I watched Nate Diaz hit pads. You know it’s going to be a mismatch against Jake Paul don’t you?
      “But for it to be a mismatch against Jake Paul, like, yes [he’s getting smoked], yes. It won’t go four.

      “Listen, unless it’s all a bit of a bluff by Nate what I saw. You can see people hit pads, and you know whether they [can box].
      “And we’re talking about Jake Paul. We’re not talking about Fury or Anthony Joshua, fighting an MMA fighter, you’re talking about Jake Paul.”
      Paul, 26, was beaten for the first time in February, losing a split-decision in Saudi Arabia to Tommy Fury, 24.
      But he snubbed a rematch to face Diaz, 38, who will be his FOURTH opponent formerly in the UFC.

      Paul has wins over ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 41, and Anderson Silva, 48.
      But for the first time, he will fight over ten rounds and agreeing with Diaz to have the rules changed by the Texas commission.
      Paul tweeted: “If the fight goes to the later rounds, it’s obviously a big advantage for Nate.
      “I know that, he knows that (that’s why he made the request), the oddsmakers know that. But I don’t give a f***. I’m all in.”

      KSI’s pal accuses Tommy Fury of ‘piggybacking’ off brother Tyson and Jake Paul after brutally snubbing fight

      by

      TOMMY FURY has been accused of riding the coattails of brother Tyson and bitter rival Jake Paul.TNT became a household name during his 2019 stint on Love Island but has continued to build his brand in the years since leaving the reality TV show.

      His public feud with social media sensation Jake Paul did wonders for his global popularity and culminated with a multi-million-pound payday in February.
      But fellow novice Viddal Riley insists Tommy would be a nobody in the sport if weren’t for the popularity of his brother and Paul.
      He told The Daily Mail: “Tommy without Jake [Paul] was fighting on his brother’s undercards getting a little relative touch.”
      Riley was recently publically snubbed by Tommy, who claimed the 25-year was “a lot lower” than himself in the boxing world.

      But ‘The Rilest’ insists his numbers far outshine those put up by Tommy, saying: “I can fight anybody and they can get a high amount of views.
      “I fight guys that no one’s ever heard of and get a million views, Tommy can’t say the same thing.
      “He can only piggyback off the guys that do have names, and then claim that it’s his numbers. It’s just an excuse to say he doesn’t want to fight me.”
      Despite being publicly snubbed by Tommy, Riley – the former trainer of KSI – is still holding out hope of sharing the ring with the celebrity.

      And he only sees their showdown going one way, saying: “If we fight I think Tommy Fury comes out worse than Anees Taj did on Friday.
      “I think Anees would knock out Tommy Fury. If he took the fight with me it would be very damaging.
      “I don’t know how much money it would take for him to take that hit on his brand but he couldn’t walk the roads the same again if he fights me and I think he knows that.
      “He will just start targeting JJ (KSI), someone I started training at the end of 2017.”
      Tommy’s proposed clash with KSI – who he nearly traded blows with last month – is seemingly “very close” to coming to fruition.
      And he hopes to use it to put an end to the YouTube boxing scene once and for all.

      He told Sky Sports: “Everybody knows what’s next for me, it’s being teased at the minute.
      “Hopefully, we can get this KSI fight over the line and I’ll knock off another YouTuber.
      “That’s my plan for this year. I want to end YouTube boxing within 12 months.
      “So that’s my plan. So we’ll see. I don’t know. I just take it one fight at a time.
      “All these guys are the same to me. There’s not one that stands out from the rest.

      The tattoo artists took a look at some of the designs and got to work as Paul went under.
      It is a method which uses “anaesthetics with qualified medical personnel that is specially prepared for this type of work environment”.
      The pieces of artwork were inked onto his arms, legs and feet and Paul seemed happy with the finished look.
      Ganga Tattoo shared a video of Paul’s experience, alongside the caption: “Jake Paul stopped by for his first No Pain session with the best team in the world.
