With his boxing clash with Tommy Fury slated for February 26, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Jake Paul is busy doing promotional segments to spice up interest in the upcoming pay-per-view event.

In a recent media segment, 'The Problem Child' called 'TNT' a "Fury family puppet". As far as Paul is concerned, Tyson and John Fury are the only credible boxers in the Fury household.

The former Disney star believes that his opponent is merely saying big words in a desperate attempt to live up to the greats in his family. Paul added that after he defeats 'TNT' in Saudi Arabia, Tommy Fury is going to "hate the sport of boxing":

"I think he is a big talker but I don't think he believes the things that he is saying. He's the Fury family puppet, right? Tyson and John both were real fighters, real boxers, real dogs, and Tommy feels that he has to live up to that. So he's saying the things that they say, but I don't think he believes it. I don't think he believes in himself. He's going to be in for a rude awakening and he's going to hate the sport after I'm done with him."

Although both men are undefeated in their boxing careers so far, Jake Paul boats numerous high-profile wins on his resume. The social media celebrity's most notable win came against UFC legend Anderson Silva via a unanimous decision last October.


Tommy Fury predicts knockout over Jake Paul

With his pay-per-view bout against Jake Paul drawing near, Tommy Fury is confident of his victory over the YouTuber. 'TNT' believes that there is a knockout on the cards for him come February.

In a recent interview with iFL TV, the 23-year-old Britt predicted that he was going to knock out 'The Problem Child' within four rounds. Fury claimed that Paul would most certainly be gassed out by the second round of the eight-round affair.

The Love Island star said:

"In my personal opinion, this fight will be over inside four rounds. It doesn't go past four rounds. I believe he gasses after two and will not be able to live with the work rate I'll set... I just believe I'm my skills and I believe that the shots will land especially with him. He's not the most elusive guy in the world."
