Tommy fury vs jake paul predictions

Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn has offered up a surprising prediction for Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury.

There’s a burning hatred within the boxing community for the ‘celebrity’ bouts we’ve seen take place in recent years. From YouTubers to public personalities to retired boxers and beyond, there’s been a strange blend between professional fights and exhibitions taking over as one of the biggest draws the sport has to offer.

Of course, there are superstars like Canelo Alvarez and Tyson Fury who will always draw more eyes to their product, but there’s something to be said for the movement that’s been happening ever since Joe Weller put up that famous first boxing video.

The master of this particular field, as of this writing, is quite clearly Jake Paul. He’s 5-0 in his pro career and with a proposed return coming up on August 13, there’s a chance ‘The Problem Child’ could continue to go from strength to strength.

He’s expected to finally square off with Tommy Fury after their December meeting was called off, and according to Eddie Hearn, this one may not be as easy to predict as everyone first thought.

“I think it’s a 50-50 fight,” Hearn said. “I think it’s a funny one because it would be terrible for Tommy Fury if he cannot beat Jake Paul.

“But, I don’t think he can beat Jake Paul. I don’t know, I mean, Jake Paul didn’t like the fact that I said he was average, but they are both average.

“I don’t mean that disrespectfully. There are a lot of average boxers – average is not bad and it’s not good.”

“I said to Jake Paul, ‘I think that’s a compliment for you, I’m not saying you are a terrible boxer, I’m just saying you’re not very good’. The same applies to Tommy Fury. So in that case, it’s a 50/50 fight in that respect.”

Is it official?

Jake Paul has made it clear that he intends to return on August 13 but no official announcement has yet been put out there on social media.

As we await a location and a specific set of rules, you’d have to imagine Paul will continue to tease the masses whereas Fury will do everything in his power to ensure he isn’t embarrassed this summer.

Jake Paul admits Tommy Fury fight cancellation cost him “millions”

Eddie Hearn has told Tommy Fury it would be "terrible" if he can't beat Jake Paul ahead of their potential clash in August.

Paul and Fury were supposed to meet last December but the fight was cancelled when Fury suffered a broken rib and bacterial infection. Their meeting is now being targeted for August 13, according to Matchroom Boss Hearn.

Hearn took aim at Paul's skill level by calling him an "average boxer" but insists that Fury, who is unbeaten in eight professional fights. is the same level as the YouTube star. The promoter thinks both men have the same chance of winning the fight because of their inexperience.

"It's a 50-50 fight, It's a funny one because it's terrible for Tommy Fury if he can't beat Jake Paul, but I don't think he can beat Jake Paul," Hearn told JOE. "Jake Paul didn't like the fact that I said he was average, but they are both average.

"I don't mean that disrespectfully and by the way, they are a lot of average boxers. Average is not bad and it's not good. So I said to Jake Paul 'I actually think that's a compliment for you, I'm not saying you're a terrible boxer I'm just saying you're not very good'.

"The same advice to Tommy Fury so in that case, it's a 50-50 fight in that respect. I don't know if they'll get there, but [August 13] is the date that I heard so we'll see."

Hearn previously challenged Paul to fight any of his 400 fighters under the Matchroom banner, including former Olympian Cheavon Clarke. Hearn promoted Paul's professional debut against AnEsonGib in 2020 as the YouTube star has gone on to fight former UFC stars Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.

Fury pushed himself closer to a rescheduled fight with Paul by outpointing Daniel Bocianski on the undercard of his brother Tyson's heavyweight world title fight against Dillian Whyte in April. Paul has spent six months out of the ring since his knockout win against Woodley.

Paul has been linked with several opponents for his next fight and MMA analyst Chael Sonnen recently explained why he thinks the American is the most feared man in boxing. "Where are we getting Fury from?" Sonnen asked on his YouTube channel.

"Is it just a case of there's nobody else willing to do it? That's how I feel; Jake Paul is the most feared man in boxing. There is nobody in boxing with a meaningful record or any kind of name that has called him out. They're hoping that their phone doesn't ring because they don't want that."
