Jake Paul PRAISES Tommy Fury and calls fight the ‘biggest risk of career’ as he reveals $300,000 custom belt on the line
JAKE PAUL says his grudge fight against Tommy Fury is the “biggest risk of his career”.
After months and months of back and forth between the pair, terms have FINALLY been agreed for them to fight in the boxing ring on August 6.
Paul has admitted he has become sick of people slating him for not “fighting a real boxer” in his five pro fights so far.
While he has won all five, four by way of KO, they have been against a fellow YouTuber, a basketball star, and two retired UFC fighters.
But in less than two months time, he will come up against the younger brother of WBC heavyweight king Tyson Fury.
Paul released his own hilarious promo video for the bout, titled “The Biggest Risk Of My Career”.
