“I’m not sure I would say yes to another potential match with Tommy after he withdrew from our match last year,” Jake Paul stated in a press statement released to promote August 6 match against Tommy Fury. “In the end,” he added, “taking down a Fury is too compelling to ignore.” This may be true, but the odds are soon in favor of Fury 8-0 walking out of Madison Square Garden in August with another win on his record.
“With their long-awaited bout confirmed on August 6, Tommy Fury has 4/5 odds to fight Jake Paul, who is 5-0 in his boxing career. his,” said Sam Rosbottom of the gambling shop Betfair. “Meanwhile, Paul was 11/10 causing a huge disappointment when he defeated Fury, brother of two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson. It is also 4/7 odds for the no-gap fight in New York. ”
Favored to win or not, Paul is most likely lacking in confidence.
“I have proven that I am dedicated to boxing in and out of the ring,” he said, “from promoting fights, championing fighters and paying boxers, to knocking out my opponents. . The Furys can’t say that, they’re selfish losers. On August 6, at Madison Square Garden, the world will see why I’m on my way to becoming world champion. I am honored to be fighting in the limelight as some of the greatest professional boxers in history. ”
Paul and Fury were supposed to fight months ago, but Fury – the younger brother of heavyweight boxing king Tyson Fury – backed off at the eleventh hour. With Paul now openly questioning his dedication, Fury is arguing that he, not the August 6 opponent, is the real fighter.
“The Paul brothers boxing competition is coming to an end once and for all,” he said. “I am a boxer. My opponent plays boxing. Jake Paul has been dressed to look like a boxer against retirees from other sports. On August 6, I’ll show the world that he doesn’t belong in the ring. A big thank you to my promoter Frank Warren, The Most Valuable Promotion and Screen Time for allowing me to permanently shut down Jake Paul. I look forward to making a splash in Madison Square Garden and taking down this clown.”
Paul-Fury’s fight, along with Amanda Serrano’s mandatory featherweight defense against Brenda Carbajal, will be Showtime’s pay-per-view card main event.
