Amir Khan: MMA Fighters Don’t Punch Hard – Tommy Fury Would Outpoint Jake Paul

Jake Paul has claimed 4 stoppages in an active run of 5-0. The latest one came against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, who fell prey to Paul’s one-punch KO power in December 2021.

However, Woodley, who had slid into the matchup as a late replacement for ‘TNT’ Tommy Fury, may not have been fully prepared.

While Tommy Fury can still earn his shot at ‘The Problem Child’, he may have to remain alert about Paul’s ability to knock people out.

Well, former world champion Amir Khan doesn’t see it as a problem for ‘TNT’. Khan, who is scheduled to stage his own return on Feb 19, believes Tommy Fury can deal with ‘The Problem Child’ and offer a better version of boxing than what Woodley did on December 19.

Amir Khan said, “Tyron obviously got caught with a good shot, which can happen in boxing. He is not really a boxer, he is an MMA fighter. You know, as MMA fighter, they don’t really punch hard. It’s more about the takedowns and everything else. I think he was just caught with a good shot, really.”

He added, “Well, I think Tommy would have taken that shot and given a lot more back, or maybe would have hit him with some shot. I mean, look, in boxing, anything can happen. Just feel that Tommy would outpoint him.”

Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury can still be a fight feast for the fans

Akin to Paul, Tommy Fury is also a KO artist and is currently 7-0 as a professional. Both the youngsters are in the early years of their respective careers and can stage a profitable matchup by locking horns against each other. A fight between Fury and Paul will be an evenly matched bout.

However, Jake Paul has expressed his interest in matching up against former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Besides, he has also teased a potential move to the MMA world and is looking viable to move in any direction.
