“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 Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury feud aside, a dangerous challenge awaits Tyson Fury
Tyson Fury is seemingly confident in his brother’s pugilistic skills and believes that ‘TNT’ will indeed defeat ‘The Problem Child’. In regards to the Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury feud, Tyson stated:
“I think the fight needs to happen, Tommy and Jake Paul will get the fight done and if Tommy can't splatter Jake Paul, I'll retire him from boxing myself. He doesn't need to be a [boxer]. If he can't beat Jake Paul, forget about boxing, because he's got ambitions of being the world champion... But it's a great fight for the social media world.”
The consensus is that Jake Paul is likely to face Tommy Fury next, but nothing has been officially confirmed yet. Besides, Tyson Fury has bigger fish to fry this month.
‘The Gypsy King’ is all set to compete in one of the most important trilogy matchups in the history of heavyweight boxing. Fury will defend The Ring and WBC heavyweight titles against feared KO artist and longtime rival Deontay Wilder on October 9.
