Tommy Fury promises KO win over Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia, explains press conference absence

Tommy Fury refused to show up for a press conference between himself and Jake Paul. Fury and Paul are booked for a boxing in Saudi Arabia in just two weeks on February 26, and Tommy Fury recently no-showed a press appearance in the nation. In an interview with MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin, the 23-year-old boxer […]

In an interview with MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin, the 23-year-old boxer explained why he chose to not show up. He said:

“I can clear that up in two seconds. Basically, Jake Paul signed up into the world of professional boxing and I am a professional athlete, a professional boxer. I always have been and [ask] any professional boxer and they’ll tell you this — no one breaks camp, mid to the end [of training camp] to fly all the way to Saudi Arabia, have a 10 minute press conference, fly all the way back to Manchester, complete my camp then fly all the way back to Saudi Arabia again the following week.”

To Tommy Fury, the timing of the press conference didn’t make much sense. He continued:

“Now why the press conference couldn’t wait until a week later on fight week is beyond me. Most big fights, they schedule press conferences on fight week. I don’t know what is going on there.”

Tommy Fury would rather spend time in the gym preparing for Jake Paul

Tommy Fury will be entering his match against the YouTuber with a perfect 8-0 record. ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul will also be putting his unblemished record on the line with a 6-0 professional career record to his name. On February 26, someone will take their first career loss.

Tommy Fury explained that he does not want to do a press conference when he could be in the gym getting ready. In the MMA Fighting Interview with MMA Fighting, he explained:

“I’m not interested in press conferences. I’m interested in completing my camp, which has been the best camp of my career and I’m ready to KO this man and get him out of the sport.”

With a knockout on his mind, Tommy Fury promises a victory over Jake Paul. He concluded with:

“We’re two weeks out. I’m ripped, I’m ready, I’m fit, I’m strong and I’ve got more in the tank than what it takes to beat Jake Paul. Don’t worry about that.” [Transcript courtesy of MMA Fighting]

Jake Paul didn’t hold back when asked about his fight prediction against Tommy Fury. The 26-year-old is set to face Fury on Feb. 26 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.

Paul didn’t take too kindly of Tommy Fury no-showing the press conference for their upcoming boxing fight. It was announced that Fury had a personal matter. The undefeated Paul labeled Fury as “unprofessional” for his absence.

Jake Paul Says The Pressure is on Tommy Fury

Paul spoke with the media about his thoughts on Fury as a fighter. He believes his future opponent doesn’t have the experience to last in the ring with him. Fury has never fought an eight-round fight until Feb.26.

“Three to four rounds,” Paul said. “The kid’s never been tested. He’s never been in a hard fight. His combined record of opponents is 20 wins, 200 hundred losses. He’s never been eight rounds, he’s never been in there with a dog, and I have something to prove. I’ve got two chips on my shoulder. People say I’ve got a chip on my shoulder, I’ve got two of them.” (h/t MMA Fighting)

“He’s been spoon-fed his whole entire life. Piggybacked off of his brother. Got into the business because that’s what he was supposed to do. Got famous off of some reality show and now he’s just riding the wave, trying to get a paycheck so that [Fury’s wife, influencer Molly-Mae Hague] isn’t the one making all the money in the relationship. But I’m going to show him on February 26 that this is the hurt business. He’s not going to like this sport after I’m done with him.” (h/t MMA Fighting)

Paul is 6-0 in his professional boxing career. He’s coming off a unanimous decision over MMA legend Anderson Silva. Fury holds a 8-0 record. He last beat Daniel Bocianski in London, England at Wembley Stadium last April.

Jake Paul reveals he will fight Mike Perry in Saudi Arabia if Tommy Fury withdraws for third time

Jake Paul has a backup plan should Tommy Fury pull out of their upcoming clash on February 26, 2023, and that backup plans name is Mike Perry, former UFC star and current BKFC talent.

Jake Paul has a backup plan should Tommy Fury pull out of their upcoming clash on February 26, 2023, and that backup plans name is Mike Perry, former UFC star and current BKFC talent.

Jake Paul has revealed that Mike Perry is the standby opponent ready to jump in and fight him on Feb 26th if Tommy Fury pulls out again.

Paul announced the following in regards to his potential late replacement at the Beterbiev vs Yarde press conference:

“We have Mike Perry on standby. Let’s go, Mike Perry. He’s ready to jump in in case Tommy pulls out.”

Paul hasn’t had the best luck when it comes to opponents making the walk, as Fury has withdrawn from both previous bookings against him, and he also lost his fight with Hasim Rahman Jr last year.

Paul was slated to fight Fury in both 2021 and 2022.

The second time Fury pulled out Paul ended up fighting former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in their immediate rematch, and he was slated to face Rahman in August of last year, but ended up facing former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva a couple months later in October instead.

Both the Woodley rematch and Silva fights went well for him; his second fight with Woodley was relatively boring, but he was able to KO Woodley stiff this time, as the first time he won a split decision, and his fight with Silva was surprisingly an incredible back-and-forth war he won via unanimous decision.

But, events have been cancelled due to his opponents withdrawing from their scheduled bouts more than once, and this time he wants a backup so that doesn’t happen again.

Mike Perry is a great name for that second choice.

To fans, either Perry or Nate Diaz makes the most sense, and honestly, we thought we were past this point of Paul vs Fury.

However, Paul wants a boxer on his resume. He’s defeated three MMA world champions across four fights, Ben Askren (KO), Tyron Woodley twice (SD, KO), and Anderson Silva (UD), but the criticism seemingly never ends, as fans and combat athletes are always trashing his name for not fighting real boxers.

Well, he’s tried to, more than once. Fury is 8-0 as a professional boxer, and Rahman, a heavyweight mind you, was 12-1 as a professional.

Mike Perry opened up his MMA career with a record of 11-1 through his first 12 fights, all 11 wins via knockout.

Since then, he’d gone 3-7, bringing his record to 14-8.

However, though he’s 0-1 as a professional boxer, a fight that went down in 2015, since leaving the UFC, Perry has gone 3-0 in boxing matches. Two of which were bare knuckle bouts, and the other of which he defeated a 25-3 professional boxer where both men were wearing MMA gloves.

Do you think Tommy Fury shows up, or does Jake Paul end up facing Mike Perry next month in Saudi Arabia?
