Tommy Fury’s name has been soaring high ever since he managed to defeat Jake Paul via a split decision. Fury now has a lot of choices for his next opponent. There are many who would like to propel themselves up using the young Fury’s fame. He has even managed to receive a place in the WBC Cruiserweight division. Fury now stands at 39th place, one rank above Viddal Riley. It is safe to say that this has definitely crushed Jake Paul’s dream, as Tommy Fury managed to break through the rankings. Riley recently posted a video on his youtube channel, where he shared his thoughts about the situation.
