I think Tommy Fury is in big trouble against Jake Paul.

    Probably not but maybe it could? Is it really outside the realms of possibility that they get onto the fight so much that they start to watch more?

    Just catching up on this, why is Chisora involved in this?

    I'd like to know the answer to that too. Overrated plodder has somehow managed to worm his way into working with the Saudi promotional company. I don't get it. He's an absolute wally who attaches too much self importance to himself.

    Yes it is beyond the realms of possibility. They'll watch this, then there'll be a new Tiktok trend of something or other, or a new trendy drink, or something else vacuous.


    I doubt they'll even watch the (actually decent) co main event.




    I just can't see a Kash Farooq Lee McGregor type contest grabbing people that like watching dim people lolling around a swimming pool with tans and Turkey teeth

    To ask Jake Paul how he's going to win the fight over and over again.

    I still don't get the KSI or most of them, they are all public schoolboys yet talk like chavs so they make loads of money, okay I get it but them privileged ones have had a headstart at life compared to their audience

    Yes, at the "Big Events", ie a Joshua/Fury show at the Copper Box, or Wembley, can't see them at a local leisure centre, for a provincial title, like the genuine fans do.


    Not really Instagram content worthy, unless you're "keeping it real" or something

    Watched Jake Paul twice, the first time he edged a 50/50 fight against Tyron Woodley where neither fighter were throwing even 50% the amount of punches you'd see in a professional fight. Then saw a clip of Jake Paul knocking out Woodley cold in their 2nd fight, and to give him props, it's clear he does have a decent power shot in him after that. This made me interested to watch his fight against Anderson Silva (who had actually won some professional bouts). He had clearly improved and fully deserved to beat Silva, and I noticed that the rate of punches had increased from that first Woodley fight

    That all being said, I think Fury will knock Jake out still. The volume that Fury throws at will be too much for Jake, and I think Jake doesn't realise the difference in power between a young pro boxer and a retired MMA fighter. It's similar to what happened in Mayweather vs McGregor, true boxing power is different to MMA punching power

    He’s an ambassador for boxing in Saudi Arabia. How he got there and why I don’t know.

    Unfortunately, I will be unable to watch at that day and time. However, good luck to both of these young warriors. To my eye, they are fierce, charismatic, talented and are destined to go on to great things win or lose, in and out of the ring!

    Oh, to be one of these young men. World at their feet... Great to see. Nothing better than seeing young people do well in life. When Jake Paul spoke to Piers Morgan and referred to how surreal his life is, coming from humble beginnings in Ohio, I got a lump in my throat! Lovely young man who is indeed very funny and knows how to wind people up. Life is all about having fun and this is certainly a fun fight!

    And then there's John Fury! Fantastic. Sport is entertainment.

    I will be sure to catch up the following day, although it is never the same knowing the result. I wonder if I'll be able to hide my eyes from the result and length of video ;)

    It's like that in all sports though I don't really see your point

    Tommy's lats are ridiculous. Surely they are disadvantageous at that size. His shove was also poorly executed, he looked rattled/out of his depth.

    Big John once again displayed that freakish swinging and pointing arm ability which manages to penetrate the opposition camp from across the stage. The Fury's do seem to have very long limbs.
