Tommy Fury vows to rid boxing of Jake Paul as fight talks continue

Tommy Fury has promised to do boxing a favour and knock out Jake Paul.

Fury, the brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson, has been locked in talks with YouTube star Paul over a December meeting.

He rejected an offer of $1million for an eight-round fight but still hopes to strike a deal in the coming weeks.

And Fury has vowed to put an end to Paul's boxing career which has seen him win each of his four fights to date.

"Jake Paul wouldn't beat the guy I knocked out in my fifth fight (0-18 Scott Williams)," he told Mirror Fighting . "He wouldn't beat half the guys I've fought because they're proper boxers and they've been around the job.

"He's been training for three years and he's fought two UFC fighters and a basketball player so you can't compare the two.

"Everybody I come across in the street, the one question they ask me is, 'When are you knocking out Jake Paul?'. I've not had one guy coming up to me saying they want Jake Paul to beat me.

"For me it's easy money, he is what he is, he's a YouTuber and he's not a boxer.

"My team and his team are talking and going back and forth and hopefully I'll have news in a few weeks.

"Either way i want to be out in December whether it's him or not. I'm a young fighter, I've had seven fights and I want to keep active because that's the key to getting better."

Fury won his latest fight on Paul's undercard in August when he outpointed the social media star's sparring partner Anthony Taylor.

Fury, 22, was expected to announce himself to the American audience with a stunning KO but instead laboured to victory.

He then watched from ringside as Paul outpointed former UFC welterweight world champion Tyron Woodley.

Fury then clashed with Paul backstage, saying: "He come down the corridor, he was acting the big I am. I was doing an interview with BT.

"And I turned around he was coming and that was it. I thought listen, if he's going to say anything, he's going to say it now.

"So, we squared up, had a little tit for tat, but I've seen something in his eyes, and I saw it there and then.

"When we squared up, I looked at him and he doesn't want any part of me, definitely not.

"I've seen plenty of fear in his eyes and he had about 40 security guards around him and everything and he still had fear in his eyes.

"Always looking away, looking down. I put it on him and said you need to stop running and take the fight."
