He's waded in. And he's got an opinion 🥊
Tyson Fury's dad believes his son Tommy will never fight Jake Paul - just like his older brother's ill-fated bout with Anthony Joshua. 2019 Love Island winner Fury is apparently in talks with YouTube star Paul over finally settling their rivalry at the third time of asking, but the fight now hangs in the balance after he missed his rival's deadline.
The pair have twice come close to meeting in the past with Fury, who is a half-brother to British heavyweight boxing champion Tyson, dashing hopes the first-time around after he suffered a broken rib. The hotly-anticipated clash was then cancelled for a second time when Fury was prevented from travelling to the US.
And Fury's father John believes Paul is reluctant to take the fight over fear of losing to his son and jeopardising his undefeated career. Speaking to Mirror Fighting courtesy of FreeBets.com John Fury said: "The kid doesn't want to fight Tommy."I think this is going to be a case of the fight that never happens. It is another Tyson AJ this fight, one man wants to fight the other doesn't.
"Tommy will knock him out, he had to put his brakes on in that exhibition, the guy [Rolly Lambert] had done us a favour at late notice. Only people know who have been training in camp with Tommy like his sparring partners know how devastating Tommy can hit, he hits very hard. Jake Paul I just think he is terrified of us. They won’t pay Tommy what he is worth, he thinks he is A-side, the Fury's are the biggest name in boxing. He is a YouTuber, he has made his money from other avenues.
"Whatever it is with gloves on, we are in the lead because we are pugilists. You could offer him a million dollars, he doesn’t want to fight Tommy. Listen, I'm afraid it is going to be the fight that never happens. He is not the A-side, he has a few followers on Instagram and we carry a lot more weight in the boxing world."
