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.”

Burmese fighter: Joshua Van details pioneering journey to plant Myanmar's flag on UFC turf

Joshua Van remembers asking his mother why they had to live in Houston. Why couldn’t they just go back home where things were familiar? He was 12 years old at the time, and Van wanted to go back to where he lived the first decade of his life, in Myanmar. Life wasn’t easy for an undersized pre-teen who spoke little English and was picked on during school for both of those attributes. Looking back, the math adds up that he’d become the first Burmese fighter to compete in the UFC. “I was a small kid,” Van recently told MMA Junkie. “From where I come from, you get picked on. It’s kind of like I fight everyday, and I got to the point where I enjoyed fighting. I watched clips on street fights and how to win street fights. I tried it in my next fight and things like that. That’s what got me into my career.” Van grew up one of five siblings in Myanmar, a country ridden with military and political conflict . When things increasingly worsened, Van’s parents decided to move to Malaysia. Van...

Logan Paul, KSI to fight (separately) as part of Misfits Boxing 'The Prime Card'

Logan Paul and KSI will top an upcoming Misfits Boxing card entitled “The Prime Card,” they announced Friday on social media . The event takes place Oct. 14 at AO Arena in Manchester, England and streams on DAZN pay-per-view. Opponents for the two influencers-turned-boxers have not yet been announced. It is unclear if the bouts will be professional or exhibition. Paul, 28, has not competed in a professional boxing match since he fought and lost to  KSI in November 2019. The bout was a rematch of an August 2018 amateur fight which ended in a draw. In June 2021, Paul competed in an exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather and went all eight rounds in a non-scored bout. While he’s been relatively inactive in boxing, Paul has thrilled fans with his athleticism in intermittent appearances in pro wrestling bouts for WWE. KSI, 30, has competed four times since the pro bout against Paul. All four of those matches were exhibitions. KSI won three of them inside the distance, while a f...
