This Fight Means…
So, without question, this bout means a huge amount to both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.
Paul has arguably less pressure on him. He is taking this fight with the sole purpose of proving his naysayers wrong regarding how he’d compete against pro boxers of his age. Paul losing to Fury wouldn’t reduce subsequent big-spectacle fights in his future against non-professional boxers.
Fury has a few things on his plate in advance of this fight. If Paul beats the Englishman Fury, it is going to potentially make a successful boxing career impossible thereafter.
Both obviously have plenty to gain with a win. Paul then proves he is legit, creating even more options ahead of his next fight. If Fury wins, he will steal some of Paul’s thunder, and get a big fight of his own.
It isn’t crazy to suggest these two are competing in the world cruiserweight rankings at this point. If you don’t believe the WBA or WBC wouldn’t put one of their names in that list to redirect more eyeballs to the sport, you’re sadly mistaken.
The Trash Talk
Trash-talking and the selling of the fight will always be part of Jake Paul. He has made a great career already by getting these spectacle bouts together using his mouth in the media.
Paul will always sell a fight as if he’s the champion of the world. Fury knew that when he took this bout, sharing some trash talk of his own when he promised to end Paul’s professional boxing career Sunday in the desert.
Both Paul and Fury have the ability to sell a bout. Now, it’s about who takes the next step.
A Fair Match?
When the names Jake Paul and Tommy Fury were first mentioned in the same sentence, future lines had Fury as a big favorite in that match. There are any number of ways to wager on this bout, according to boxing odds,
While Paul has continued to prove people wrong in his career since 2021, Fury drops out of fights, thus not proving his skills out in the ring. If you’re a fan of Fury, you’re likely starting to get nervous about this one.
Whether hatred or rationale, people are thinking Paul is not going to be able to compete with Fury this Sunday. The experience of Fury alone is being used as the reason he will win.
Truth is Paul is the better athlete out of the two fighters. He is faster and stronger right now.
Paul has worked at this for a short period of time, but it is safe to say he has poured literally all his energy into it.
Fury, meanwhile. just became a dad, and doesn’t seem as focused as Paul. It’s dangerous to get in the ring at half-speed, and we know Paul is going to try and decapitate Fury.
All outside forces aside here, it’s the fairest fight in Paul’s career and will serve to see if he is ready to take his place in the “real” world of boxing.
…and finally, if you’re a believer in continuing this narrative, it’s a 10-1 return (+1000) on a draw, as per BetUS Sportsbook boxing odds.
