John Fury, the father of boxers Tyson Fury and Tommy Fury wanted to “eat Jake Paul alive!” in the middle of the live video press conference promoting the 8-rounder cruiserweight boxing battle billed as “One Will Fall,” pitting his son Tommy and super popular social media personality Jake Paul “The Problem Child.”
But Jake was on TV!
The father of the heavyweight world champion showed his fists in front of the TV screen, wanting to “finish off” the super star Youtuber. That much he seem to love him.
But theatrics and promotional stuff aside, at the moment of the truth when Tommy Fury and Jake Paul trade heavy blows in Tampa, Florida, on Dec 18, live on Showtime PPV, who will emerge victorious?“
The clash, as we know is billed as “One will Fall.” But who will be to one to really fall?
Betting fans and bookies have Tommy as the favorite by a very narrow margin, meaning that many fans are willing to put their money on the fists of trash-talker Jake Paul – even knowing that he has been the subject is so many controversies due to his risky stunts, sexually suggestive behavior, lawsuits and scam allegations. How about that?
But that’s not all, Jake Paul has also been accused of sexual assault two times, and there are tons of more strange, eyebrow-raising things.
Still, Jake Paul is one of the most popular personalities out there, but what do you think about him?
On fight night, the man in front of him is the more easy going, more average boxer Tommy Fury, the 6 foot, 22-year-old younger brother of unbeaten awesome Tyson Fury. The young Fury hails from Manchester, England, so far piling a record of 7-0, 4 KO’s. Because of his brother huge popularity, Tommy could be a star in the making.
Enters Jake Paul, wanting to fight him.
Well, Jake Paul, on the other hand, is 24-year old, standing at 6’ 1” with a record of 4-0, 3 KO’s... and isn’t it so amazing that for an 8-rounder non-title fight, these two men are making that many millions?
Will you watch their show? Me, yes, just to see what happens.
You think this a real boxing fight, or just a scripted parody aimed to entertain, hype, stir things and make money (lots of it)?
