    HBO’s Bomani Jones clashing in an interview with Jake Paul
    Paul comes into the box office bout at 6-0, but faces his first opponent with a recognised boxing record in Fury.
    And the YouTuber-turned prizefighter did not take it well when probed on the prospect of losing the grudge match.
    HBO’s Bomani Jones asks: “After Tommy Fury, where do you go from there? Like, what happens if you lose one of these fights?”
    Paul responds: “I don’t plan on losing, I don’t train to lose. I feel like that’s probably like your mindset.

    “A lot of people try to project their mindsets on me.”
    Jones hit back: “There ain’t no projecting of a mindset, my question is, this is work because we’re all surprised you keep on winning these fights.
    “But if someones does beat you, how much interest stays in this?”
    Paul, evidently annoyed, replied: “They won’t and I’m going to be honest bro, I don’t know who the f*** you are.

    “My PR team set up this interview…”
    Cutting Paul off, Jones said: “Dude, all I know about you is that people don’t like you.”

    The pair officially came face to face at Wembley Arena last weekend, staring each other down for the first time.
    And Paul posted online: “I saw the fear and insecurity in this boy’s eyes. The truth awaits. Sunday February 26th.”

    But it is the THIRD time the pair will attempt settle their score in the ring following a pair of previous pullouts.
    Fury was forced to withdraw due to a rib injury in December 2021 and then amid a US visa issue last August.
    So Paul has come prepared this time by placing ex-UFC welterweight-turned bare-knuckle boxer Perry on standby.
    And Perry’s sparring partner – karate combat star Samuel Ericsson – says the YouTuber better hope Fury makes it this time.

    Ericsson said: “I think Jake Paul has made a mistake putting Mike Perry on standby for if Tommy Fury drops out.
    “Because I am positive Mike will knock him out. He doesn’t care about anyone’s hype and he’s just too tough.
    “He’s also got a really intelligent fighting mind. Look at his BKFC fight with Michael Venom Page.
    “Everyone was predicting that Page would pick him apart and be too clever for him, plus Mike was the smaller guy in the fight.

    “But in the fight Mike not only overwhelmed him with aggression but was also the one setting traps and tricks.
    “Look what Page has done to people and then look at how Mike outboxed him.
    “So I think Jake Paul is biting off more than he can chew here, but I do respect Jake’s willingness to step up and take challenges like this.”
    Swede Ericsson, who knocked out Tarek Khelifi in the karate combat pit in December, has been sparring with Perry recently.
    The American was considered as an alternative for Paul, 26, when talks with Fury, 23, dragged on.
    But Perry, 31, will instead be patiently waiting after it was confirmed he was the substitute opponent.
    Paul said: “We have Mike Perry on standby. Let’s go Mike Perry. He’s ready to jump in if Tommy pulls out.”
