Tyson Fury predicts Jake Paul’s chances against his father

Tyson certainly thinks that his father would beat Paul in ways he could never imagine.

In an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Fury was asked about the outcome of a potential fight between Paul and John. He then picked his father and proposed that the two should fight in a bare-knuckle boxing match.

I think me(my) dad would rip his heart out and feed it to him and the man is nearly 60 years old. I think me dad and Jake Paul should have a bare-knuckle fight but like to the end. That would be a spectacle and I would give $100 to see it Pay-per-view.” said Tyson.

In the aftermath of the altercation, John did not hold back in criticizing Paul. In an interview with Daily Mail UK he stated while Paul had a lot to say from the outside, he was afraid of Tommy and did not even get in the ring when he was called out.

“He showed he didn’t want to fight Tommy, he wouldn’t even get in the ring. He was terrified, he kept walking backward, coming out with all sorts of rubbish. The kid doesn’t want to fight Tommy, it’s going to be another Tyson  AJ with him.” said John
