If the fight does take place, both fighters will be putting their unbeaten records on the line. For Fury, however, it is much more than that. His family has said that they will disown him if he loses to a YouTuber, especially Jake Paul. “He’s going to have to win the fight, otherwise the family is going to disown him,” said Frank Warren.

“You should have heard them in the dressing room, just before the Wilder fight. I was there when they told him [they’d disown him],” Warren said. So Fury will be fighting for his pride when he faces the YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul.

Who do you think will win? Will Tommy Fury be the one to put an end to Jake Paul’s boxing career? Or will he just fuel the fire to the hype Paul has created for himself?
