John Fury compares Tommy to all-time boxing great and promises son won’t disgrace family name against Jake Paul
JOHN FURY promised son Tommy will not disgrace their famous fighting surname against Jake Paul as he revealed his defiant prediction.
John is set to lead Tommy into battle against Paul on Sunday night in Saudi Arabia.
Older brother Tyson – the WBC heavyweight champion – is also in the Middle East ready to corner Tommy.
And John insisted there is no way a Fury could possibly fall to defeat against YouTuber-turned boxer Paul.
He said: “We’re here to fight. He’s been around the big stage most of his life.
“When he first started out, he was meant to do big stuff, being who he is, Tyson Fury’s brother. This kid survives on pressure.
“And believe me, I wouldn’t have my son sat here if I didn’t think he could deliver.
“There’s no way in this entire world my son would disgrace our great champion in Tyson Fury.”
Tommy, 23, has twice pulled out against Paul, 26, in the past amid injury and US visa issues.
But they hope third time will be the charm ahead of their grudge match in the Diriyah desert.

Special guest attendees include Mike Tyson, who watched on as the celebrity rivals agreed to a double-or-nothing fight bet.
And John claimed Tommy will put on a show for the current and former heavyweight kings.
He said: “On Monday he will be the proudest brother in the world. Tommy will give Jake Paul a beating Mike Tyson will be proud of.”
