Jake Paul
“I used to be a younger child in Los Angeles simply getting caught up within the flawed issues and surrounded by the flawed group of individuals and boxing gave me the possibility to take my life again and the comply with a routine and to have a objective. It gave me one thing to struggle for. I wasn’t meant for L.A., though I believed I used to be.
“Tommy claims to have been doing this his entire life and he’s had this beginner profession, and he’s been round it and that’s true, however he hasn’t labored as onerous as me. I see a inexperienced man who hasn’t sparred sufficient instances and who has solely been put in there with opponents that had been meant to lose. That is his first actual check the place his opponent simply doesn’t flop over. You’re going to see that. You’re going to see a fighter who’s a virgin, in my view. He has no thought what he’s getting himself into. That is his first time beneath the massive lights and on the massive stage, and he’s going to crack beneath the strain.
“Simply the truth that Amanda Serrano is the G-W-O-A-T, the best girl of all time. There’s no debating that. I prefer to work with people who find themselves cool and Amanda and I simply clicked from day one. She must be placed on a much bigger platform and that’s the place Most Invaluable Promotions is available in. She’s a star and he or she’s bought the file and all of the accolades. You hear it on a regular basis, the perfect boxer on the earth who isn’t getting paid or isn’t as huge a star as they need to be. In order that’s the method that I’ve found out and I’ve developed. The advertising, the content material, the branding, the leisure facet. And that’s what we hope to provide to Amanda Serrano and different boxers alike. We need to elevate this sport as a lot as doable and convey extra eyeballs to the perfect, and that’s precisely what Amanda Serrano is. The potential is large. We’re already eyeing, in 2022, the largest girls’s boxing match of all time with Amanda Serrano versus Katie Taylor and we’ve been working with Eddie Hearn to get that finished.
“Tommy Fury hasn’t been examined. We’ll see how he responds and I believe that’s the attractive factor about this struggle, it’s the unknown. Is he really a Fury, or will we discover out if he’s only a half-Fury? Does he have the guts like his brother or is he simply dwelling within the shadow of his brother? That is additionally my first time combating an actual quote-unquote boxer. No matter meaning. He’s undefeated, identical peak, identical weight so it’s actually an ideal matchup and we’re actually going to see who labored more durable, who desires it extra and who has that canine inside him.
“I’ll TKO him within the later rounds. He hasn’t had a struggle previous 4 rounds so I believe he’ll be gassed. I believe this would be the first time he’s getting punched within the face by somebody who can really hit and is similar weight as him. He’s at all times fought smaller guys with dropping information. So I believe he’s going to fade. I do know he’s going to fade. It’s simply what spherical? Fifth? Sixth? Seventh? Possibly I knock him out within the final 10 seconds of the eighth. However he’s not listening to that eighth bell ring. I’ve bought $500,000 on the road, and when he loses, he has to vary his title to Tommy Fumbles. He accepted it, so we’ll see what occurs.
“It was my first actual check that I handed. A UFC Champion who dominated the UFC along with his huge overhand proper. He hit me with a shot within the fourth spherical that was nothing. I ate it very simply and stored shifting. I discovered a solution to win and handed my first check in my fourth skilled struggle. No one from Muhammad Ali to Mike Tyson to Floyd Mayweather was testing themselves as a lot as I used to be in my fourth struggle. I realized lots about myself and what I’m able to and performing beneath strain. I sit up for bringing that have to my subsequent struggle.
“With each struggle, I’m giving the folks what they need. What they needed was for me to struggle an actual boxer. That’s what all people stored saying. So here’s a actual boxer who is similar peak, identical age, identical attain, a greater file than me and who has been boxing his total life. His brother is the heavyweight champion of the world. He has a legendary title, he has the next, he has the star energy. It’s the right struggle. Once I knock out Tommy Fury on December 18 proper right here at AMALIE Area, there can be nothing left to say. All of the media, all of the individuals who have continually doubted me and mentioned I’m dangerous for boxing, I’m going to close you all up and you’ll put respect on my title after I beat this child.
“Tyron Woodley was an unorthodox fighter. MMA guys are available with various kinds of placing. Once I struggle a boxer, it’s going to be extra of a chess match. Extra strategic. We’re going to be pondering much more within the ring. Woodley simply got here out throwing overhand rights. We’ve got a gameplan and we’ll be sticking to it. However I see a man that’s inexperienced. He doesn’t have head motion. He can’t struggle going backwards. He’s stiff. He’s inflexible. He has quick palms and he has good mixtures however we’re taking all of that away and there’s not going to be something left for him to do.
“This child’s chin has by no means been examined. He’s solely been put in with opponents that had been meant to lose. I’ve by no means finished that. All my fights had been getting into the unknown. For him, that is the primary struggle the place the opponent isn’t simply put in there to lose. On the largest stage doable, in entrance of all these folks, this younger man will crack. He’s not battle-tested like me. He hasn’t lived the life that I’ve. He’s had a silver spoon in his mouth his entire total life. He’s doing this as a result of his brother does it. As a result of his dad instructed him to do it. This isn’t one thing he desires to do. If it was as much as him, he’d be an Abercrombie & Fitch mannequin.”
Tommy Fury
“You fought a 40-year-old man in your final struggle. He hit you with one correct punch and also you fell by the ropes. Once I come for you, I’m knocking you spark out. You fought retired UFC folks, a basketball participant and that’s it. Whenever you struggle me December 18, you’re getting knocked spark out. It is a step too far for you. Stick with YouTube as a result of that’s all you’re good for. I’m going to point out you what dropping appears like.
“I really feel like I’ve gained the lottery. You’re asking me to struggle on a large world stage, you’re going to pay me properly, and all I’ve bought to do is struggle Jake Paul. A YouTuber. I’m going to splatter him December 18. I’ve gained the lottery. I’m begging Jake Paul, please don’t pull out. As a result of usually, once we get to this stage in boxing, you’ve bought to struggle for a world title. However I’m combating a YouTuber! Signal me up.
“I took this away from his struggle with Tyron Woodley. The person bought a split-decision win. Which means you solely simply gained towards a 40-year-old retired UFC fighter. My god, effectively finished. Good job, mate. You nearly beat a 40-year-old man. Whenever you get in there with a contemporary 22-year-old whose been doing this all his life, you’re going to want you caught to paying UFC fighters off and basketball gamers. It is best to have gone and fought Tiger Woods, not any person who has finished it his entire life since you’re in for a giant shock. You’re the one who’s going to crumble.
“Whenever you’re getting hit all around the face and your nostril and ears are busted, you’re going to take a look at BJ Flores and assume, ‘What have I finished right here? I shouldn’t have referred to as him out. Pull me out!’ I’m begging you, please don’t retire on the stool. Come out and struggle like a person. I want the struggle was tomorrow.
“All people retains speaking in regards to the strain. All of the folks within the area. I don’t care about that. There’s just one man I care about that night time. I’m not taking within the crowd or any of that. I’m coming over to Tampa Bay to do a demolition job and please the entire huge world. It doesn’t matter how a lot strain is on me. There’s been strain on me from the beginning and simply because there are a number of extra folks there and some extra lights, I gained’t crack. Consider you me. It’s in my blood and I’m going to go on the market and shut this man up for everyone on the earth that’s asking for it. This was a step too far and I’m going to show that on December 18.”

“Laborious work, dedication and sacrifice is what has gotten me up to now. Greatness requires sacrifice and I’ve sacrificed my entire life from 18 years previous till now. It’s simply been boxing, boxing, boxing. Nothing can occur with no nice staff behind you and that’s what I’ve.
“I’m the featherweight champion and I’m taking a danger by shifting up in weight. In girls’s boxing, now we have to go to the place the alternatives are and I need to have the ability to do issues that not each lady can do. And that’s win a number of divisions in numerous methods from 140 all the way in which right down to 115. I do know that if my file is ever damaged, which I don’t assume it’s going to, it gained’t be finished the way in which that I did it.
“It feels superior to be combating in Tampa. Why not struggle within the metropolis of champions? We’ve got the Lightning and the Buccaneers so I’m tremendous honored to be right here and combating in Tampa. I simply should dwell up the title ‘The Metropolis of Champions’ and that’s what I’m going to do.
“Preventing on SHOWTIME pay-per-view is at all times an ideal alternative. I simply need to exit and show that females can struggle. Irrespective of the place you place us, we’re going to placed on a present and we’re going to look good doing it.
“My profession has positively modified since signing with Jake Paul. I’ve gotten much more followers. Much more followers, on account of Jake Paul. It’s simply one thing totally different. I’m so into boxing and I’ve by no means actually finished something outdoors of boxing. I’ve devoted my entire life to it so being beneath the lights and on social media is one thing totally different for me however I’m persevering with to study it and I can study lots from Jake Paul. He’s finished a variety of superb issues along with his platform and I hope someday I may be half nearly as good as he’s.”

“Tommy’s very athletic, very decided and he learns quick. It’s thrilling to me to have the ability to work with any person like that as a result of that’s what makes me rise up and go much more – any person that wishes to study and is worked up about it.
“He’s taking this struggle very critically and boxing is in his blood. It’s in his tradition. The entire household containers.
“I believe there’s a specific amount of strain on Tommy being Tyson’s youthful brother, however that’s simply one thing that comes with it. Being the youthful brother of the heavyweight champion of the world and at all times trying as much as Tyson and eager to be like him and do the issues that he’s finished – there’s at all times been strain. However now there’s much more as a result of it is a huge stage. This isn’t simply sparring within the gymnasium or being beginner. The longer he’s in boxing, it’s going to be extra of a problem.
“Jake may be very artistic within the ring. I’m watching him. I hear dangerous discuss him however I’ve to provide him a variety of credit score for what he’s doing and the way he’s studying. He doesn’t seem like a newbie how all people is speaking about due to the issues he’s doing when it comes to pondering and making changes and creating alternatives to land punches. I believe he’s coming alongside simply nice – simply in addition to anyone who’s simply beginning boxing.
“I believe it’s going to be quick progress for Tommy as a result of a few of the issues I’ve confirmed him, he’s grabbed maintain of it so rapidly it jogs my memory a little bit of Tyson.
