Jake Paul seems unfazed by all the factors that threaten him to lose his unbeaten record in an upcoming clash against Tommy Fury. While the British team is being led by elite guidance of WBC champion Tyson Fury and his father John Fury, Paul still believes he can defeat ‘TNT’ Tommy Fury on December 18 in Miami, Florida.

The eight-rounds cruiserweight bout will see two undefeated surging stars step inside the ring for a high-voltage fight. While Paul’s 4-0 record has zero professional boxers as victims, even TNT’s 7-0 record doesn’t boast of top-tier opponents. Thus, it’s a perfect matchup to host at the time.
