In the aftermath of Tyson Fury's triumphant outing against Dillian Whyte at the Wembley Stadium, Josh Thomson and John McCarthy discussed potential future bouts for 'The Gypsy King', including a fight against Jake Paul.
Fury managed to beat 'The Body Snatcher' by knocking him out in the sixth round of their clash. Although Whyte managed to beat the count and return to his feet after he was sent to the canvas with an uppercut, the referee felt it was best to call a stop to the action.
Josh Thomson and 'Big' John McCarthy examined a heavyweight showdown between Fury and Anthony Joshua on the latest edition of the Weighing In podcast. Thomson subsequently suggested a bout between Jake Paul and 'The Gypsy King'. McCarthy jokingly admitted that it would be a terrible yet extremely entertaining matchup.
Thompson went on to propose a handicapped match between the Paul brothers and the Mancunian heavyweight. He further admitted that Fury would make short work of the YouTubers-turned-boxers, comparing the fight to a popular arcade game, Whack-a-Mole.

"Maybe the Jake Paul fight. I'd love to see that. I'd love to see that fight," said Josh Thomson. "Oh that would be, that would be both horrible and unbelievably fantastic," quipped John McCarthy. "So amazing. Maybe him and Logan Paul together... You know you see the Russian fights, [where they got three guys] yeah, yeah. Jake Paul, Logan Paul against Tyson Fury," continued Thomson.
