Tyson Fury confident Tommy Fury knocks out Jake Paul, expects rematch 'for even more money'
Tyson Fury has no doubt that his brother will get the job done against Jake Paul.
The boxing heavyweight champion expects Tommy Fury to put away Paul with ease when they meet in the ring Sunday evening. Both Paul and Tommy are set to clash in an eight-round, 185-pound catchweight bout that takes place in Saudi Arabia. The event will be available on pay-per-view through ESPN+.
Tyson believes Paul is in way over his head and sees an easy win for Tommy.
“Looking good, he’s feeling good, and he’s going to knock him out (Sunday),” Tyson told Fight Hub TV.
“Tommy knocks out 90 percent of the people that he messes with. He drops them, knocks them out – that’s 90 percent. So Jake Paul is no different. He’ll get it, as well.”
Entering the fight, most odds have Paul as the favorite to win. Tyson thinks that’s just been a great hype campaign from Paul and his team. He believes the YouTube star has no chance at beating Tommy.
“Conor McGregor made everybody think that he was going to beat Floyd (Mayweather), but in reality was never going to do it,” Tyson said. “People are easy to convince, I suppose.”
Tyson will go beyond predicting the outcome of the fight and even call what may happen next. He believes that if Tommy defeats Paul, there will be a rematch, and he’s all in favor of it.
“There will probably be a rematch for even more money, yeah,” Tyson said. “Or maybe fight his brother of another YouTube person.
“Listen, if they can make millions and millions of dollars out of fighting each other in these fights, and they’re not hard fights, he’s not fighting some guy that’s coming from Albania and has nothing in his life and if he beats this person he’s going to get millions and millions of dollars. It’s a different sport. It’s a different world, really. So they get to do these fights for millions of dollars and not a cat scratch on them, so fantastic.”
