“I Should Not Think About My Mother, My Dead Sister, My Dead Daughter…”: Mike Tyson Gives Tommy Fury ‘Objective’ Advice Days Before Jake Paul Fight

Once again Tommy Fury and Jake Paul believe they are ready to finally settle their scores inside the boxing ring. While Jake Paul apart from his promotion MVP will represent the community of the YouTubers who made a crossover to boxing, Tommy Fury will carry the name glorified by his elder brother Tyson Fury over the years in the sport of pro boxing. Will the fact that he belongs to the Fury family which has produced a heavyweight champion in boxing hamper Tommy Fury’s performance against ‘The Problem Child’ on February 25th? Ahead of the fight, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson shared his views in an interview with iD Boxing.

On being asked if the pressure from the Fury family name will play a part on Saturday night, Tyson was of the view that Tommy Fury should be “objective”. In his opinion, Tommy Fury should scarcely think about others when he is fighting.

“I should not think about my mother, my dead sister, [or] my dead daughter, but this person in front of me. And that’s professional fighting”, said ‘Iron’ Mike to iD Boxing.

However, Tyson, who lately warned Usyk over a potential bout against ‘The Gypsy King’, has watched all of Jake Paul’s fights and thus tends to “go towards him”. “I never saw Tommy fight.
