Scheduled to be the rising star's next opponent Jake Paul, Englishman Tommy Fury believes it will be too big a challenge for the YouTuber. At the press conference for the duel, the British fighter showed confidence in beating the digital influencer and used as an asset the fact that he is the first boxer of origin that the North American will face so far.

“When his fights are not manipulated, he cannot win. When his fights are not manipulated and staged, he loses. Let's be honest, I'm not a UFC fighter, I'm not a YouTuber and I'm not a basketball player. I've been doing this my whole life and on December 18th, he's going to have a funny look at the team around him because they're going to see him in a world of trouble,” said Fury.

Brother of the legend Tyson Fury, Tommy has an undefeated record of seven consecutive victories in the noble art, four of which were by knockout. In his last engagement, in August, the English fighter beat Anthony Taylor in a unanimous decision by the judges.
