Tommy Fury’s former opponent claims Bamba will end his career

While Fury will look to add another victory to his record, a former opponent of his feels that this will certainly not be the case. According to one of Fury’s former opponents and Jake Paul’s teammate, Anthony Taylor thinks Bamba will end Fury’s career.

In an interview with Vegas Insider, he touted himself as the toughest competition Fury has faced. Moreover, he predicted that Fury would get knocked out by Bamba ending his career.

 “I am the only legitimate competition Tommy Fury has faced. He’s a bit of a fraud if I’m truthful. Big John Fury must despair at Tommy’s progress and opponents, yet there’s still a chance that Paul Bamba ends Tommy’s career on November 13. That’s what I’m predicting, the retirement of Tommy Fury after a devastating KO.” he said. Taylor previously faced Fury who beat him by a unanimous decision in 2021. Moreover, he will also feature on the undercard and will also face another Love Island star, Jack Fincham.
