“We’ve had good class kids in the gym. We’ve had heavyweights in. Cruiserweights in. Light-heavyweights in. We’ve had them all. 
“They’ve all been good, class, young, hungry men. But, bring it. He’s been handling them very well.
“There have been a few visits to the hospital for the sparring partners but that’s boxing. He’s been doing them some damage.

“He’s been destroying his sparring partners. You can ask them. He knows who they are. They know whether Tommy is the real deal or not.”
John revealed Tommy has sparred over 100 rounds for his fight with YouTuber-turned boxer Paul in Saudi Arabia.
And he remains bullish that defeat for his son would cause his boxing career to come to a close.
John said: “Listen, losing is not an option for Tommy.
“But for some miraculous reason Tommy loses, it would be over for him. It would have to be. It’s the easiest fight in the world for Tommy. 
“Tommy can’t believe his luck to be fair. But, it’s third time lucky. We’ve had two other attempts to get this fight.
“Everything has gone perfectly this time. It’s all about timing.”

But McGuigan reckons Fury’s immaturity and lack of progression will be his undoing against The Problem Child.
The former WBA featherweight champion told Pro Boxing Fans: “I think Jake Paul is clever.
“He picks guys that he knows he can beat. He is the firm favourite in the fight.

Fury said: “If he caught me, I’d probably just laugh to be honest.
“Because I’ve been used to being hit by heavyweights and Olympic gold medallists, world champions and whatever, so Jake Paul – a little kid from Disney – what’s he going to do?
“I’ll let him hit me, I’m not interested, I’ll put my hands up and let him tee off at me like a five-year-old is hitting me.”

Social media sensation Paul has left no stone unturned in his trolling of Fury, evening targeting Molly-Mae and revealing the birth of their child.
And former Love Island star Molly-Mae has reportedly responded by preventing Paul and his team from seeing her social media activity.
That’s according to The Mirror, who claim even fringe members of Paul’s team have been blocked by the influencer.
Paul’s mind games and trolling over the last two years have got on the nerves of Molly-Mae, who hopes the rivalry will soon be “put to bed.”

She told iFL TV late last year: “I just feel like the whole thing, everyone is just over it.
“Hopefully, it can all just be put to bed, they can have the fight and then we can forget about it.
“I feel like it’s just lingering at this point, they need to have the fight and put it to bed because it’s going to be literally all anyone talks about until it’s done.
“I think it’s a fight that needs to happen and if it does it does, we’ll just have to see.

Hearn initially expected Paul’s mind games to be too much for Fury, who has been trolled by the American for the best part of two years.
During an appearance on The MMA Hour, Hearn predicted: “Mentally, he’ll break Tommy Fury.
“I think he’ll mess with Tommy mentally, and I just think by the time they get in the ring, if they do get in the ring, I think Tommy will be defeated before the fight’s even taken place.

“And I think will win by knockout.”
Paul and Fury, 23 and 26 respectfully, were due to face off again in a press conference in Saudi last week but the latter skipped the event.
That irked Paul, who said: “I’m used to his behaviour at this point, he’s unprofessional and he’s a flake.
“He’s not a serious businessman or a serious fighter and I’m going to prove that.
“It’s why this fight is called, ‘The Truth’ because the truth is going to come out.
“He’s going to have to pay for all of the times he’s pulled out. All the business people he screwed over, it’s disrespectful.
