We start with the question, is Tommy Fury beginning to cave to the pressure of fighting Jake Paul? Verbal warfare has been a significant part of boxing events for a long time now and Jake has certainly not hold himself back.
Now Tommy Fury is starting to get in on the action which can either be a sign of confidence or a sign of nervousness.
Paul’s trainer BJ Flores had this to say while discussing the fight, “Jake punches harder, he’s smarter, has a higher boxing IQ and I feel like he does a lot of things that will give Tommy a lot of problems. We’re [stopping] this guy… inside three rounds.”
‘TNT’ decided to clap back, “My response to that is everybody has got a plan until they get punched in the mouth. That is just that, Jake Paul has never been hit in his entire career, and as for BJ Flores, I will fight him on Sunday night after Jake Paul and break his jaw. How is that? BJ Flores isn’t worth a wet wipe anyway. I’d beat BJ Flores now.
“He came over to the UK a few years ago and he got done over by Tony Bellew. I don’t know who he is talking about, he wants to shut up, doesn’t he? But that team is team hype, aren’t they? The trainers are on the payroll, the cutman is on the payroll. They are going to say this sort of stuff, but when it comes to it for real they are going to have nothing to say,” he continued.
How much pressure is Tommy Fury going through?
Being the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury may come with bragging rights, but the expectations are also sky-high. John and Tyson have been talking this fight up for a good while now and have issued stern warnings towards Tommy if he doesn’t manage to get the job done.
Jake vs Fury is scheduled for February 26th.
