Light heavyweight prospect Tommy Fury, who is the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is not concerned with the recent announcement that Jake Paul will be ringside for his upcoming fight.
Fury (8-0, 4 KOs) will be back in action this coming Saturday night in Dubai, when he faces Paul Bamba. Their bout will be the co-featured attraction to Floyd Mayweather's exhibition fight with Youtuber Deji.
Paul, a Youtube star turned boxer, dropped and decisioned MMA legend Anderson Silva last month in Arizona. The victory raised Paul's undefeated record to 6-0, with 4 knockouts.
Fury had been scheduled to face Paul on two occasions - with the unbeaten Brit being forced to withdraw from both dates.
Heading into 2023, Fury is once again a frontrunner option to face Paul in the ring.
“I’m not interested who’s there. There could be a million Jake Paul’s sat ringside, my mindset is laser focused on Paul Bamba and getting him out the way. Then I’ll jump out at ringside and slap him in the face," Fury told Global Titans.
“So, I’m not really bothered about Jake Paul or KSI or whoever they’re with, because it’s a load of boys really against a load of men – that’s what it is."
Fury seems to be getting fed up with the constant questions regarding a fight with Paul.
“I’m not interested in all this bullsh!t that people keep saying. I’ve heard it for two years now with Jake Paul this, Jake Paul that. If we’re not in the ring, I don’t give a sh!t. Think about my life, every single day of my life, ‘When are you fighting Jake?’ I’m not interested. I’ll fight him right now, no problem, because there’s no-one on this stage or anyone in the country who is built like us," Fury said.
“When you sign to fight us, you’re going to have to kill us. I know it’s early on in my career, but you’re going to see the same characteristics that you see in Tyson in me. You have to knock us dead to the floor for us not to get up and people can laugh and take that whatever way they want, but if you come up against the last name Fury, you’re in for a fight.”
