Tommy Fury’s former opponent and the sparring partner of Jake Paul, Anthony Taylor, claimed the younger Fury brother is in a big dilemma. The Love Island star believed that he would be disowned by his family if he lost a fight against his heated rival.

In an interview with Vegas Insider,  Taylor put forth the picture from behind the scenes. Though he claimed that Fury was not afraid of ‘The Problem Child’, he did not want to create a mess with his family.

He told, “Tommy is in over his head. He’s not afraid to fight Jake Paul, but he’s also not motivated because knows the outcome. And he knows the consequences of losing.”

“If he loses, he loses sponsorships, he’ll be disowned from his boxing family- why go through the headache? He’s not scared, there are just a lot of circumstances behind it, ” he added further.

What did Taylor say about Jake Paul’s next opponent?

The Ohio-based boxer was most likely to meet Tommy Fury in Madison Square Garden, New York. Unfortunately, the USA blocked Fury from entering their country. However, this was not the first time Fury and Paul could not materialize the contest. Earlier, they were set to trade leather in December 2021. At that time, Fury pulled out of the bout because of injury.

Similar to that, ‘The Problem Child’ has again announced the name of his next opponent on short notice. Now, he will face Hasim Rahman Jr, the son of a former heavyweight champion.

According to Taylor, it is going to be a risky fight for Paul because Rahman Jr is tougher than Fury on every scale as a professional fighter Paul will be tested in facing an opponent like Rahman Jr. in the budding stage of his career.
