In just a few years of pro boxing, Jake Paul has found himself in great heights of success. He is beefing with some of the biggest names in the combat world and is doing pretty well financially. However, a grueling sport like boxing demands a lot more than that, and Jake Paul has come across the fact in some of the harshest possible ways.

While he is preparing to face Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy Fury on December 18, a few insights from his former sparring partner can hurt the Paul loyalists. Egyptian light heavyweight Ahmed Elbiali has sparred with both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.

21-1 as a professional, Elbiali is clearly a KO-artist with 18 professional knockouts under his name. When he sparred ‘The Problem Child’, Paul could get a taste of it. In a chat with Pro Boxing Fans, Ahmed Elbiali detailed the whole scene and compared Paul’s and Fury’s boxing qualities.

He said, “In sparring comparison, I would say Tommy [Fury] has the complete edge. With Jake, I really didn’t throw many punches, and they told me that I went too rough.”

“I am too nice, bro, Because I believe I hit harder than I think. So with guys that don’t have experience, I just try not to hit them in the head. Because then I am really gonna hurt them. So, Jake I was must more feigning, using aggressive defense and maybe going to the body a little bit.”

The boxer further hailed Paul to have extreme talent. However, he justified his claims with the fact that Tommy Fury has been under boxing guidance since childhood.

Jake Paul is at a ‘Do or Die’ stage against Tommy Fury

After vanquishing four non-professional boxers, Jake Paul will face Tommy Fury, who is a pro boxer. Well, Fury has faced gatekeepers so far and his 7-0 record doesn’t have a valid opponent. While Jake Paul falls in the same bracket, Paul’s marketing strategies will clearly differentiate it from all of Fury’s past fights.

As the youngsters are ready to collide, it will be the biggest boxing scrap of both men’s careers so far. Moreover, one of their undefeated records shall vanish. This is a tremendous tag at stake and Jake Paul has all the reasons to worry.
