“First of all so, I saw jake Paul and Tommy Fury press conference. What a clown show! Honestly, what a clown show! But that’s what they have to do to sell fights. Nobody wants to see Jake. People want to see Jake Paul fight just because of like the answers his brings to boxing,” she said.

The YouTuber turned boxer will lock horns with his first pro-boxing opponent in Tommy Fury. Hence, it is expected to be Paul’s toughest test yet, as he has only fought celebrities and retired MMA champions in his career. Considering that, fans may tune in, in large numbers, to watch possibly the final boxing blockbuster of 2021.
