Jake Paul is one of the few social media personalities who has successfully transitioned into the sport of boxing. And with a few powerful performances under his belt, it seems like he has established himself as a force to reckon with. Paul is set to make a sensational comeback with a stellar performance against MMA GOAT Anderson Silva. However, the British professional boxer and Paul’s potential rival, Tommy Fury, had a few choice words to say about the fight. And also made a prediction about the same.

Fury recently took to social media with a message for Paul ahead of his fight. In an Instagram story, he said, “This is a very, very special good luck message to my best bud Jake Paul. Make sure you get the job done tonight mate so I can see you next year and smash all the front of your face in.”

In fact, he had previously also opened up about the Paul vs. Silva fight in an interview with Global Titans. Fury was asked if Paul will win his upcoming fight. In response, he said, “Very comfortably. I’m not really interested in seeing a 50-year-old man box a [25]-year-old man to be honest.”

Moreover, he stated that Paul keeps building his fights in his quest to gain respect.

Fury further added, “He’s not a boxer. He’s an MMA fighter who’s been retired for years and is 50 years of age. I’m not really interested in what Jake Paul’s got to do. Jake Paul’s a con man at the end of the day.”

Fury also mentioned that Paul does not take fights that he is certain to lose. And that he is not interested in what Paul wishes to do until he signs a deal with him. Notably, Paul was scheduled to fight Fury twice previously. However, these bouts failed to materialize.
