[Boxing] Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury - February 26 in Saudi Arabia

[Welsh]

As expected, Tommy Fury failed to show up to the face off.

Jake Paul & former British & Commonwealth Champion, Derek Chisora faced off.

Weird turn of events for Chisora to get up there. I must say, despite what might happen on the night there's no dull moment with Jake Paul's events. Not sure why Tommy didn't show up, I haven't really been following. Shows, a sign of weakness in my opinion though. He might have the attitude of he'll just turn up on the night, and knock Jake out, but he probably knows that Jake is actually pretty good at getting into people's heads, and purposely avoiding that just kind of admits that you'd be suspect to that.

Chisora is a good sport though. Keeping the fans entertained as always.

If Jake really wanted to be a professional boxer, he would have started practising when he was a kid. Going against a professional boxer, that has trained for 10-20 years is just stupid. He could start fighting professional boxer with same record as he has. Dont expect him to start fighting against top10 of cruiserweight in his late start of boxing career. Nobody fight big names from the beginning, and he does not have time to build a career or record to meet them. Nor he wants to do it, because he wont earn from it. He would better fight a veteran (who isnt less experienced as younger) and make a name, get experience and later face someone serious, instead of fighting against TopTort777, Inwestour or other professional no-names that are in the beginning of the career also

P.S. If you think that Tommy is more experienced, google his opponents record. Fury record 8-0 is fake, made against trash. That what would Jake had if he would fight against boxing professionals from the very beginning. What is better to have? A victories over Andrejevs, Ide, Binienda, Krajevskij or Silva, Woodley?

In fact, I don’t think that Fury is much stronger than Jake, there is a ring for this, they will already figure out which of them is stronger there. And it's understandable why Jake needs this fight and this victory, because Fury does not have high-profile victories and maybe he is not so dangerous, but for Jake this will be an important victory OVER THE BOXER, if he wins of course.

True, winning against Tommy Fury brings Jake Paul a recognition of beating a real boxer even though Tommy Fury isn't a decent one.  But I think Tommy Fury gives risk to Jake Paul than any other fight Paul has. 
Tommy Fury even though not a really good boxer is still very young, has power and probably have the same skill as Paul if not a little less.

I understand that for Jake this is like a hobby that he is very interested in and maybe he would like to be a professional and fight on equal terms and the toughest fighters, but the reality is that he is not ready for this, because for this you need to live on a ring and besides that he needs a lot of things, for which he is obviously not ready. I would like Fury to win, because if Jake wins, he will scream about it everywhere, about how cool he is and how he can even beat a boxer, and not just old people.

Same here, I am rooting for Fury since I also don't like Paul being braggy about his accomplishments.

It would be interesting of  Jake Paul will really have an exhibition fight against Chisors  .  I don't think Jake Paul is too naive to do that, but it is interesting if he did, lol.

Mike Perry is the backup for the fight and I think he brings more respect because of his reputation in MMA and bare knuckle boxing. Mike is a boxer and a good one he was known for his boxing instead of his wrestling. He does not quit and fights until the end. Tommy Fury will probably be worried about being clipped and will look to fight technical which could mean a boring fight. I cannot see Jake pressing Fury because that is not how he fights he looks to counter punch whenever the other fighter overextends. Most of his knockouts are from counters because it is easier to knock someone out when they have thrown a punch then it is when advancing. Tommy is a good boxer but he has not fought much he has been doing tv instead. He could be very rusty in the ring and that could make him hesitant too and contribute to a boring fight.

I think Tommy will knock out Jake Paul if he is on his best day but I worry that he is not because of the time he has had out doing tv instead of boxing. He has the power and the speed to beat Jake but he needs to be on his A game because Jake has proven that he can knock out people. The Woodley knockout was the most surprising because Woodley has a chin.

It appears that Tommy Fury is learning the tricks to win before the fight begins from his brother Tyson hehehe. I am only speculating about this, however, not appearing for a press conference to cause an opponent to be angry might be something Tyson Fury might do. Jake Paul might have forgotten that the Gypsy King is always with the family first.



Jake Paul wasn’t happy to learn that his upcoming boxing adversary Tommy Fury skipped out on their first pre-fight press conference.

During a recent press conference, Paul unloaded on Fury for no-showing to promote the fight.

“He’s a flake,” Paul said of Fury. “He’s not a serious businessman, he’s not a serious fighter. I’m gonna prove that. That’s why this fight is called ‘The Truth’, because the truth’s gonna come out and he’s gonna have to pay for all the times he’s pulled out…

“It’s disrespectful. There’s some of the biggest names in boxing, some of the biggest promoters in the world, some of the most influential people in the world, one of the greatest countries in the world…and he doesn’t show up because of a private matter… it shows me he’s scared. He said he didn’t need to train for this fight, but meanwhile his excuse first was that he needed to train extra for this fight…it’s typical Fury stuff… I like Tyson, but the dad and Tommy, it’s typical from them.”

According to Tommy's promoter they gave some vague 'personal family issues' or something. That could mean anything from a dead parent, ill child, or he's just had a row with his girlfriend and she's thrown a strop... or more likely it's just an excuse as to why he can't be bothered turning up to the press conference. The last excuse for missing the previous press conference was he needed to train. Tommy isn't exactly an entertaining character and I dare say he's a little dull so he's not going to shine in these media promos and he probably knows that, but he should be doing his bit to promote the fight which he's done very little so far. I wonder if Tommy is just getting an upfront fee or is he also getting some of the PPV backend? If he isn't he probably won't have any incentive to promote the fight since he's getting paid regardless. I'm really hoping he's not going to flake cos I really wanna see this fight. I can't see him walking away from the amount of money he's going to be getting though. Win or lose it's still a life-changing amount and probably the most he'll ever get from boxing, especially if he loses.

Oh, and I'm glad Chisora is getting a bag to promote fights in Saudi but I hope they don't employ him again. He can barely speak let alone promote something. It doesn't look good.

I saw a flash about this fight on the news of which I didn't give a paid attention to and now am seeing discussed here, much of what I have read from the comment of other forum users I understand many are underestimating the capacity and capability of Tommy Fury in winning this fight against his opponent Paul maybe due to how Tommy isn't a match near Paul based on past track record.
This is fighting you just underestimate a fighter because that could be the beginning of your weakness in the fight by being overconfident of one's self. We shouldn't be surprised endn up seeing Fury knocking down Paul in Saudi come Feb 26th.

I will not be surprised because Tommy is a boxer he can deliver a knockout and I will not be surprised if Paul knocks out Fury because he's been knocking out fighters and there's no doubt about his capability to deliver, both fighters are challenged on this fight, Jake Paul because he is finally facing a real boxer and Tommy Fury because he is fighting a Youtuber who surprise the boxing world with his power and charisma, one's zero is gonna go here and one's reputation will be tarnished here.
Of the fight of Jake Paul, I am really excited to see this fight, the stake is really high for both fighters.

If Tommy Fury failed to appear on the fight night twice when they were scheduled to fight, you tend to underestimate the situation whether they whether they will be fighting if they schedule to fight once again and that is the only curiousness everyone here is having. It is not about a big championship bout and still it is able to gather an audience simply because Jake Paul who is not a conventional boxer challenges a legit boxer while the entire boxing community is mocking Jake Paul's skills while they fail to sign a contract to fight him .

Tommy failed to appear at their 1st fight and their 2nd fight conference. It shows that he does not take boxing seriously and I know the reasons why he could not attend the fight because he was refused his visa but I thought he would have known that sooner then he did because you can get a  usa visa sooner then he did. Sports people are usually given some leeway too. I think they could have got around that if he applied for it sooner and disputed it but he left it to late. Now they are not fighting in usa there should be no more excuses and if he pulls out of the fight again I think the promoters should boycot him because he is wasting fans money and the promoters time.

I think Tommy Fury gets the win but not turning up to the press conference is just childish if he had serious problems with his family then that is ok to miss it but if it is a minor problem he should be a professional and appear. He can cut it short if he needed but instead he left the fans and journalists hanging.

I hope that Tommy Fury is dying in the gym right now, that is the only acceptable excuse for not showing at face-offs. Tommy wants to focus more in training, then loosing time trash talking with Jake during conference. On the other hand, Jake is the only one now who is trying to sell their fight. If this fight really happens (which I start to doubt), wish Jake gets bigger purse.

Dont want Jake to fight Derek Chisora. Because I believe their fight is going to fixed. If Jake wins, Chisora is turning into a clown. He is sort of a old boxer with sound name, who is there only to make bigger sales, and he is not aimed to win.

Same here mate, I sure do hope that he's literally doing what he is saying and not just making up excuses again just like he used to in the past. And speaking of his unprofessionalism in the recent face-off, my doubts are starting to get bigger and bigger as their schedule is fast approaching because of what he did just recently and I can't honestly deny that at the back of my mind, I'm already expecting the situation where he will suddenly withdraw from the fight.

Turns out that's the actual - or at least alleged - reason why he didn't show up as he didn't want to break from training:

Tommy Fury has explained why he no showed the launch press conference for his upcoming clash with Jake Paul. Fury says that he ‘didn’t want to break camp’ so close to the contest and denies that it has any bearing on whether he will turn up on fight night.

That's why I hate the so called 'family issues' excuse as it just turns into the boy who cried wolf. So now family issues could mean anything from a dead family member to they just can't be bothered getting out of bed and any excuse in between. Now when people do have genuine family emergencies or whatnot people are going to be sceptical. Sure, Tommy has to train but if Jake can take a day off to make it out there then so can Tommy. It's not like one fighter is getting an advantage but Tommy certainly is if he neglects promo duties to get some extra hours in whilst Jake is doing everything to sell the fight. That doesn't seem fair to Jake to me. Tommy needs to do his bit as well. The least he could have done is do the conference via video link. They should start docking fighters pay by x amount for every part of their contractual obligations that aren't met in promoting the fight.

[QueenVera]

Why will someone want to pull out of a fight after accepting to fight and I understand that has been the case with fury but I think his already doing more of the training and that's one excuse he has pulled for not coming out for the conference and I really don't see the possibilities of this fight holding but I really would love to watch thia match and if it would fixed then I think Paul should give him the benefit of celebrating his unborn child 😂.
I'm already seeing fears in the eyes of fury and I hope his name plays out for him this time.

[cabron]

Tommy knows Jake will just keep his mouth open talking shit whether he is there or not so Tommy gives the mic to him all the way. And indeed he talk alone lol

But this fight I think will push thru, they already done deal so it will happen no matter. Jake is just not happy when this conference should have been a wild hype if Tommy comes which Logan will probably tie Tommy's shoe lace as well.

[coin-investor]

Tommy Fury boasts that he has a great amateur record but I just saw this comes out in my feed it's about an article and a video on Tommy Fury's amateur background and based on the review of the article and my own view this does not look good for the younger Fury

Footage of 17-year-old Tommy Fury leaves fans concerned ahead of Jake Paul fight

Even his fights in the professional are not good all his opponents are patsies, he fought fighters that do not fight back or do not have punches that can hurt, so this fight against Jake Paul is the first fight where he will fight a skilled fighter who can duck, counter punches and with posses good power in his punches.

Jake Paul is similar like Tommy Fury, his fight is full of cherry picked and not really a real boxer. I don't think Jake Paul can duck, he mostly throw random punch and make sure his punch will hurt his opponent. At least both of them are in the same level, so the fight can't be predicted which one will win.

Jake Paul can easily lose if he fight with a boxer who have a good dodge and technical skill e.g. Canelo, but yeah it doesn't make sense for new boxer fight with an Ex-Top 1 P4P rank.

I don't think Tommy beat Paul. It's Tommy who ducks Paul afaik, as he avoided Paul twice since 2021 with a rib injury excuse and then another visa issue excuse.

Over time Jake Paul had gained high confidence in his skills after beating some old dude but he did what he did like any boxer who picks opponents. This time Tom is really afraid of Paul for not showing up. They are both big talkers but at least Paul always does what he promised to do.

I doubt Jake Paul will ever choose a real boxer to go against. He's out there to pad up his stats and collect for payday, and not really live up to the code of fighters of the sport. Tommy Fury is the same as him, and they're just looking to collect money from people that wants to watch this clown show of them.

Jake Paul gathered some of the mechanics of boxing along the way. He knows how to evade punches, but he's not really good at it. Line him up against an amateur boxer who's had his time in the ring and you'd see Paul get knocked out and caught off-guard by that amateur. Well might not be knocked out because that guy has a strong chin but still, in a fair environment I'll take an actual amateur boxer against this guy any day.

Yes mate, of course Jake Paul will be sleeping peacefully on the canvass if he's caught off guard with the likes of Canelo who's punches are very hard to predict but I don't think that will happen though even if Jake Paul has been calling champions like Canelo. Still, he's way too out of league to call such names if he can't even fight and defeat a Bonafide boxers.

About this fight, hopefully this two will clash once and for all to settle their nonsense rivalry. But I surely love Tommy Fury's antics because he kept on teasing Jake Paul and yes, just recently, he gave Jake Paul a headache for not showing. Hopefully he can face Jake and give a good fight, I just love seeing two nonchalant people fighting each other even if they believe they are a true boxer hehe.
