Jake Paul VS Tommy Wrath: Chances, Records, Forecast

The Fact That The Jake Paul VS. Tommy Fury 

matchup has been talked about more in the past year or so than nearly every other potential fight doesn’t necessarily mean that boxing is going through a slump. Instead, it means that Paul, the YouTube star who has turned himself into of the most popular pro boxers and perhaps the world’s biggest cheerleader of women’s boxing has become a phenom in the sport—and he’s created a huge international event with Fury as a result. Here’s everything you need to know about Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury, including the odds, their records and a prediction on who will win.

Paul has made his name in this sport by brutally knocking out former MMA stars and ex-NBA players, but for the first time in his career on Sunday, he’ll actually face a legitimate pro boxer. That, however, certainly doesn’t mean Fury, despite the fact his half-brother is Tyson Fury, is a better fighter than Paul.

Paul has been on bigger platforms, and he’s had more eye-catching results than Fury, even though Fury’s career has lasted two years longer. Need proof? How about Paul’s mammoth KOs of Nate Robinson, Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.

“He’s going to get knocked out by a Disney star—plain and simple,” Paul said, via Boxing Scene. “That’s it. End of story. You’ll see, bro. You’ll see who the real professional boxer is. And all these critics, all of these people say, ‘Fight a real boxer.’ Well, here we go . . . Tommy has so much to lose. His family is going to disown him when I knock him out. Plain and simple, that’s it.”

Unsurprisingly, Fury disagrees with that sentiment. Instead, he says he’s going to retire Paul whi

o taking note that Paul is coming off a victory against 47-year-old Anderson Silva.

“He will never box again. I’m not 50, I ain’t 40. I ain’t an MMA guy. I’ve been doing this my whole life, and I swear to God, you’re finished come the 26th of February,” Fury told Paul. “I will school you. I was beating people better than you when I was 14 while you were messing about on the Disney Channel. Don’t come here pretending you’re about it when you’re not.”

• This fight has been more than a year in the making. Originally, they were supposed to meet at the end of 2021, but Fury suffered an injury while training and had to pull out of the fight. They rescheduled for the middle of 2022, but Fury had visa issues trying to enter the U.S., and again, it was called off.
