Tommy Fury‘s win over Jake Paul in the recently concluded fight saw the Britisher shut down many of his doubters. After having been counted out by many, Fury showed up and displayed why he was a much better boxer than Jake Paul with his precise jabs and constant pressure. While doing so, he also proved that ‘The Problem Child’ clearly had a long way to go if he wanted to establish himself as a real boxer. Following the win, Dave Portnoy, who heavily criticized the 23-year-old in his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, came out accepting that he made a huge error in judgment. Portnoy had claimed that Paul would KO Fury while dissing the Britisher, stating that he was not a real boxer.

In a fresh video, Portnoy has now accepted his miscalculations, claiming that he ‘greatly underestimated’ Tommy Fury.

Claiming that Fury proved him completely wrong, the 45-year-old retracted his earlier statements about the boxer. While explaining the same on video; he aptly captioned it: “I was dead a*s wrong. I greatly underestimated Tommy Fury. He proved me wrong. Made a fool outta me. Joe Rogan was right. I was wrong. I’m a dummy. Credit to me for taking total accountability for being a moron. Lead from the front.”

The founder of Barstool sports had expressed his controversial opinions on Tommy Fury when he made an appearance on JRE episode 1920, which led him to make this video.
