Jake Paul has issued a unique bet to Tommy Fury after his half-brother, Tyson Fury’s recent comments.

On Wednesday ahead of Fury’s heavyweight title defense against Deontay Wilder, he was asked about Tommy possibly boxing Paul. It’s an intriguing matchup and Fury made it clear his half-brother better win or else he’d retire him from boxing.

“His name’s Fury,” said Tyson Fury during an interview with Boxing Social. “If he can’t beat Jake Paul, I’ll have to change his name… If Tommy can’t splatter Jake Paul, I’ll retire him from boxing myself. He’s got ambitions of being a world champion, never mind beating some YouTube guy.”

To no surprise, Paul heard of those comments and now issued a bet to Tommy Fury after Tyson’s comments.

“The Bet: Since Tyson Fury says if Tommy loses to me he will make him change his last name.. So then @tommytntfury if you beat me I will pay you an extra $500k. However, if I beat you then you have to change your name to Tommy Fumbles for 1 year.”

The bet is an interesting twist and it’s not the first time Paul has issued bets to his opponent. He offered Ben Askren that if Askren won, he would double his purse but if he lost, Askren would donate his purse to Paul’s charity of choice. “Funky” never took it but in his next fight, Paul made the tattoo bet with Tyron Woodley which was accepted and Woodley did get the tattoo.

As of right now, Tommy Fury has not responded to Jake Paul’s bet. Whether or not he takes it is uncertain, but the hope is regardless of the bet or not, the fight between Fury and Paul happens next. The fight has not been agreed to but Fury did say on Wednesday they are in negotiations and he wants it to happen in December.

What do you make of Jake Paul’s bet to Tommy Fury?

Canelo? Tyson Fury? Vitor Belfort Wants To Fight Both Of Them

If Vitor Belfort gets his way, then he’ll be sharing the ring with Canelo Alvarez and Tyson Fury. Belfort recently made his return to the boxing ring against 58-year-old legend Evander Holyfield.

If Vitor Belfort gets his way, then he’ll be sharing the ring with Canelo Alvarez and Tyson Fury.

Belfort recently made his return to the boxing ring against 58-year-old legend Evander Holyfield. It wasn’t a pretty sight for fans of the “Real Deal.” Belfort knocked Holyfield down early and while the former heavyweight and cruiserweight world champion wasn’t defenseless, the referee knew things were going downhill fast and he called a halt to the bout.

After the bout, “The Phenom” turned his attention to Jake Paul with a $30 million dollar offer. Belfort isn’t solely focused on the YouTube star, however. He told SiriusXM that Canelo and Fury are also on his radar (h/t Middle Easy).

“I fought everybody, every division. In Pride I fought everyone. Heath Herring, no one wanted to fight Heath Herring, he was the most feared guy in Pride… I fought him. I said double my money and I’ll fight him. I fought him, I beat him up, and I was like 190 and he fought 260.

“We gotta stop with this weight division… Before, only two divisions: under 200 pounds, and above 200 pounds. So I’m ready. Bring Tyson Fury, I’ll fight him over 200. Bring Canelo, I’ll fight him under 200. Let’s meet over there, and bring the legendary fights where fans would dream about it.”

Belfort is 2-0 as a boxer with the Holyfield bout being an exhibition. He’d be far outmatched in terms of experience against the likes of Canelo and Fury. Canelo is widely considered to be the pound-for-pound best boxer in the world, while Fury is also somewhere in that list as an undefeated heavyweight champion.

Is there any chance Vitor Belfort gets a fight with Canelo Alvarez or Tyson Fury?

Heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has weighed in on the McGregor-Poirier trilogy fight ahead of UFC 264.

‘The Gypsy King’ caught up with the UFC media team at the Performance Institute, where he gave his prediction for the upcoming bout. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Fury is backing Conor McGregor leading into the bout (h/t MMA Junkie).

“My prediction for the McGregor-Poirier fight is that I think McGregor will win this time,” Fury said. “I think he’s trained hard, and he’s got it all to prove. It will be a great event and one to watch. Tune in.”

McGregor and Dustin Poirier enter the trilogy match tied at one win a piece. ‘The Notorious’ McGregor stuck first blood, knocking out Poirier in the first round at UFC 178 in 2014. ‘The Diamond’ would of course get his revenge earlier this year, stopping McGregor in the second round at UFC 257 in January.

Two weeks after Poirier and McGregor finish their trilogy, Fury will look to walk out victorious in a trilogy bout of his own. the Ring and WBC world heavyweight titles will be on the line when Fury meets Deontay Wilder for the third time on July 24. Fury knocked out Wilder in their last meeting in February of 2020 after the pair fought to a split-decision in December 2018.

Though he already has his next opponent scheduled, that hasn’t stopped Fury from looking into the future. Recently, he’s been clamoring for a fight against UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. He’s even gone so far as to say that he’s willing to meet ‘The Predator’ in the cage, with special “punching only” rules in place.

It’s unknown if the UFC or even any commission would allow such a thing to take place, put it would undoubtedly be a massive draw for all parties involved.

Do you agree with Tyson Fury that Conor McGregor will be victorious at UFC 264? Let us know!
