Tommy Fury to 'take Logan Paul out of the game' after defeating Jake Paul

Logan Paul has been warned he’s next on Tommy Fury’s hitlist after the Manchester fighter defeats Jake Paul.

Fury takes on YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul in Tampa, Florida next month in a hotly-anticipated eight-round bout.

Fury, the younger half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, will be Paul’s toughest opponent to date with the American having faced fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, retired basketballer Nate Robinson, retired mixed martial artist Ben Askren and former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in professional fights so far.

Former Love Island contestant Fury has a 7-0 record as a professional boxer, most recently defeating MMA fighter Anthony Taylor on the undercard of Paul’s victory against Woodley in August.

Paul’s brother Logan has also made the transition from social media personality to boxer but his only professional bout came in a defeat KSI in 2019, while faced Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition clash earlier this year.

Tommy’s father and coach John Fury told Rob Moore on YouTube: "If he's on his game, Tommy, and he's firing on all four cylinders. Easy night's work, easy money and the winner goes on to bigger and better things.

"We'll get the brother out the game as well, then we'll start looking at conventional titles for him. A brother is gonna wanna redeem another brother isn't he?

"When he knocks Jake Paul out, the brother's gonna wanna take his part ain't he? But I don't think so because the hiding Tommy's gonna give Jake Paul, the other brother won't be interested either.”
